One of Woolf’s most experimental novels, The Waves presents six characters in monologue - from morning until night, from childhood into old age - against a background of the sea. The result is a glorious chorus of voices that exists not to remark on the passing of events but to celebrate the connection between its various individual parts.

On a June morning in 1923, Clarissa Dalloway, the glittering wife of a Member of Parliament, is preparing for a grand party that evening. As she walks through London, buying flowers, observing life, her thoughts are in the past, and she remembers the time when she was as young as her own daughter Elizabeth; her romance with Peter Walsh, now recently returned from India; and the friends of her youth. Elsewhere in London, Septimus Smith is being driven mad by shell shock. As the day draws to its end, his world and Clarissa's collide in unexpected ways.

維吉尼亞．吳爾芙最顛峰的代表作。也是她老是被聲音「驚擾」的一次交響曲，出版後再度面臨精神崩潰的狀態。 . 她的目標是要為生命照像，從最早的感覺甦醒一直到最後；生命的夢想、野心、期盼、成就和失敗，一直到最終的幻滅。」－約翰．賽門 . 「當我們身不在那裡但依舊存在的事物」，1926年吳爾芙在日記裡，提到寫這樣一本書的想法。隨後她將這個想法最早實現於《燈塔行》，就是「當我們身不在那裡但想起一張在那裡的桌子」。 . 《海浪》，將這個想法推到了最極盡。 . 六個人物，在那裡也不在那裡，同時不在也同時存在。挑戰吳爾芙最巔峰、最終極的意識流作品。 . 《海浪》也許是吳爾芙作品中結構最形式化，敘事本身全然內心化的一部作品。《海浪》透過六個人物不斷的獨白，不斷的獨白，不斷的獨白…，呈現九個像故事又不是故事的段落。六個人物用自己描述性的「標籤」或主題曲，在全書中持續地變奏：人物在長大的過程中，漸漸發展出歧異性。隨著死亡和失落陰影的籠罩，漸漸明瞭某些野心和夢想將永遠不會實現，感受到日益年老所帶來的失意悵然。 . 而太陽自海邊的花園升起，在結尾時落下，所有事物背後都是海浪。這些固定出現、純描述的意象插曲，分隔了故事的段落，也是書中唯一的客觀性，其他盡是無休止的內心的獨白。因所有寫實主義的花招盡被丟棄，使其更像是古典戲劇而非小說。

Woolf’s first and most popular volume of essays. This collection has more than twenty-five selections, including such important statements as “Modern Fiction” and “The Modern Essay.” Edited and with an Introduction by Andrew McNeillie; Index.

Virginia Woolf's exuberant `biography' tells the story of the cross-dressing, sex-changing Orlando who begins life as a young noble in the sixteenth century and moves through numerous historical and geographical worlds to finish as a modern woman writer in the 1920s. The book is in part a happy tribute to the `life' that her love for Vita Sackville-West had breathed into Virginia Woolf's own day-to-day existence; it is also Woolf's light-hearted and light-handed teasing out of the assumptions that lie behind the normal conventions for writing about a fictional or historical life. In this novel, Virginia Woolf plays loose and fast: Orlando uncovers a literary and sexual revolution overnight.

On a June morning in 1923, Clarissa Dalloway is preparing for a party and remembering her past. Elsewhere in London, Septimus Smith is suffering from shell-shock and on the brink of madness. Their days interweave and their lives converge as the party reaches its glittering climax. Here, Virginia Woolf perfected the interior monologue and the novel's lyricism and accessibility have made it one of her most popular works.
