Reseña:  A strange tragic inspired novel . . . as poignant as anything in modern fiction. -- E. M. Forster This acclaimed novel marked the debut of one of the twentieth centurys most brilliant and important writers. In Virginia Woolfs captivating exploration of a young womans growing self-awareness the events of a shipboard journey to South America parallel the naive heroines inner quest. Her experiences from a first kiss to a surprising flowering of real love may inspire the reader to reflect on gender roles in society love among intellectuals and the strivings and sorrows of life. The Voyage Out offers an excellent introduction to Woolfs writing. Not only is it the first of her novels it is also one of the most accessible. Less formally experimental than Woolfs later books but highly representative of her poetic style and innovative techniques it offers a moving depiction of the thrills and confusion of youth.
