To the lighthouse | Virginia Woolf

To the lighthouse by Virginia Woolf ... The novel is considered one of the marks of modernist fiction in the twentieth century, and one of the most important works of the British writer Virginia Woolf, one of the founders of stream of consciousness in world fiction. The novel translated by "Isabel Kamal" into Arabic without significant external events, as the author does not care about worldly matters, but dives into the internal world, the unspoken and undiscovered, beyond the roots of perception, consciousness, and looking at the world, and what establishes mutual human relationships. It is a stripping of the human interior with all its fragility, frustrations, small desires, and setbacks, with all its pain and helplessness, in escaping the closed circles like a prison or a battleground. The novel appears to be a journey of self-discovery, taking us from one event to another, and from one character to another, without warning, to evoke our awareness by presenting a state of alienation, placing us in confusion and disorientation with its characters, who are not far from us. It is not a traditional novel, progressing from beginning to middle to end, but rather intertwined and intersecting lines that meet and diverge constantly, between the internal struggle each character suffers within themselves, and the faint, transparent conflict between the characters.
