Valutazione del libro

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

TO THE LIGHTHOUSE is a haunting psychological portrait of the Ramsay family and their friends who gather for a brief vacation in the Ramsay summer home on the Hebrides Isle of Skye. There is talk of a boating trip to the lighthouse at the island's end. But the year is 1914, a World War intervenes, and it is a somber group that finally assembles to make the ritual journey. The five brief essays that comprise THE LONDON SCENE conjure up the invisible magic known as London. The author lifts the city's docks, its abbeys and cathedrals, the houses of its great men, Oxford Street, and the House of Commons above the commonplace.
