Intensely visionary yet absorbed with the everyday; experimental, daring and challenging, The Waves is regarded by many as Virginia Woolf's greatest achievement. It follows a set of six friends from childhood to middle age as they experience the world around them and explore who they are and what it means to be alive. As the contours of their lives are revealed, a unique novel is slowly unveiled. Enfolded within Woolf's lyrical and mysterious language, the mundane takes on a startling new significance while distant pasts are no less in play than the clamorous sounds and kaleidoscopic sights of the modern city. 700 1 Bradshaw, David, |eeditor. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/nb2002067617 830 0 Oxford world's classics 902 df |bm |6a |7m |dv |f1 |e20150209 904 bwl |ba |hm |cb |e20150205 914 (OCoLC)ocn892822955 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240703 |eprocessed |f892822955
