Tracing the lives of a group of friends, \u003ci\u003eThe Waves \u003c\/i\u003efollows their development from childhood to youth and middle age. While social events, individual achievements and disappointments form its narrative, the novel is most remarkable for the rich poetic language that expresses the inner life of its characters: their aspirations, their triumphs and regrets, their awareness of unity and isolation. Separately and together, they query the relationship of past to present, and the meaning of life itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVirginia Woolf (1882-1941) is regarded as a major 20th century author and essayist, a key figure in literary history as a feminist and modernist, and the centre of 'The Bloomsbury Group'. This informal collective of artists and writers, which included Lytton Strachey and Roger Fry, exerted a powerful influence over early twentieth-century British culture. Between 1925 and 1931 Virginia Woolf produced what are now regarded as her finest masterpieces, from \u003ci\u003eMrs Dalloway\u003c\/i\u003e (1925) to the poetic and highly experimental novel \u003ci\u003eThe Waves\u003c\/i\u003e (1931). She also maintained an astonishing output of literary criticism, short fiction, journalism and biography, including the playfully subversive \u003ci\u003eOrlando\u003c\/i\u003e (1928) and \u003ci\u003eA Room of One's Own\u003c\/i\u003e (1929) a passionate feminist essay.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you enjoyed \u003ci\u003eThe Waves\u003c\/i\u003e, you might like Woolf's \u003ci\u003eMrs Dalloway\u003c\/i\u003e, also available in Penguin Classics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'A book of great beauty and a prose poem of genius'\u003cbr\u003eStephen Spender\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Full of sensuous touches ... the sounds of her words can be velvet on the page'\u003cbr\u003eMaggie Gee, \u003ci\u003eDaily Telegraph\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eVirginia Woolf, born in 1882, was the major novelist at the heart of the inter-war Bloomsbury Group.
