Description

About the Book:

The Waves one of Virginia Woolf‘s most significant works and a masterpiece of the 20th century, envelops readers in the intimate thoughts and emotions of its main characters. The narrative is driven by continuous monologues, flowing like the movement of waves, making this novel a true experimental journey. Themes of homosexuality, adultery, friendship, love, and death permeate the protagonists’ dialogues, each expressing and retreating in turn, much like the ebb and flow of the tides, lulling readers into the rhythm of the sea. This edition features a masterful translation by writer Lya Luft, who has adeptly captured the complexity of Woolf’s genius in Portuguese.

Woolf’s experimental narrative structure provides a deep dive into the inner lives of six friends: Bernard, Susan, Rhoda, Neville, Jinny, and Louis. Each character’s soliloquies reveal their personal struggles and desires, weaving a rich tapestry of human experience. The novel’s rhythmic, poetic prose reflects the characters’ interconnected lives and the passage of time, creating a profound meditation on the nature of existence.
