Synopsis "Al faro (in Spanish)"

Nuestra apariencia, las cosas por las que se nos conoce, es meramente pueril. Por debajo todo es oscuro, vasto y de una profundidad insondable; solo de vez en cuando salimos a la superficie y eso es lo que ven los demás.

Basada en la propia infancia de la autora, Al faro cuenta la historia de la familia Ramsay durante sus visitas en el periodo de entreguerras a la casa de veraneo que tiene en la isla escocesa de Skye. En sus páginas, el rumor del mar, la presencia insomne del faro, la guerra, la muerte, el erotismo y el paso del tiempo se entreveran en una larga conversación formando un oleaje de símbolos, palabras e imágenes.

Considerada una de las obras cumbre de la literatura del siglo xx y una de las cien mejores novelas en lengua inglesa, con la que el género tomó nuevos rumbos, Al faro fue para Virginia Woolf su creación literaria más valiosa.

Virginia Woolf was born in London on January 25, 1882, and died on March 28, 1941, drowned in the River Ouse. After her father's death, the well-known man of letters Sir Leslie Stephen, Virginia and her sister Vanessa left the elegant Kensington neighborhood and moved to the bohemian Bloomsbury, which named the brilliant literary group formed around the Stephen sisters. Among its members were T. S. Eliot, Bertrand Russell, Vita Sackville-West, and the writer Leonard Woolf, whom Virginia married and with whom she ran the prestigious Hogarth Press. From her early works, Virginia Woolf highlighted her intention to take novels beyond mere narration. In Mrs. Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927), the author expressed the inner feelings of the characters with her own techniques, achieving great psychological effects through images, metaphors, and symbols. Her technique was consolidated with Orlando (1931) and The Waves (1931), which secured her an indisputable place within the finest world literature. Additionally, Woolf wrote essays as famous as A Room of One's Own (1929), which still inspires new generations of women today, literary criticism articles like those compiled in The Common Reader (1925, 1932) and in Genius and Ink (2021), or the biography of the English poet Elizabeth Barrett's dog, Flush (1933). All these works are published by Lumen.

El tiempo de entrega es adecuado, toma dos días máximo. En esta versión de bolsillo me parece que la letra es bastante pequeña y hay una colocación de las márgenes algo incómoda.
