The Waves

The Waves [1931] is one of Virginia Woolf's most innovative novels and is widely regarded as her most complex. Six friends trace each other from morning to night, from childhood to middle age, against the backdrop of the sea. Six dramatic voices and an absent seventh intertwine with each other with a remarkable lyrical precision, always in relation to the movements of the tides, the waves.

VIRGINIA WOOLF [1882–1941] was an English author. With novels like Jacob’s Room [1922], Mrs Dalloway [1925], To the Lighthouse [1927], and Orlando [1928], she became a leading figure of modernism and is considered one of the most important English-language authors of the 20th century. As a thinker, with essays like A Room of One’s Own [1929], Woolf has influenced the women’s movement in many countries.
