Adeline Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was an English writer and literary critic, the leading figure of the modernist literature of the first half of the twentieth century. She also was part of a group of English intellectuals, writers, and artists, graduates of Cambridge, called the Bloomsbury group. The novel "The Waves" considered by many as a masterpiece. In a poetic form of soliloquies, it tells the stories of six children, Bernard, Susan, Rhoda, Neville, Jinny, and Louis, from infancy to death. They all unite around the figure of a seventh character, Percival, who never speaks in his voice. Allusive and mysterious, this novel explores the concepts of individuality and community.
