The two fall in love, unaware of the tragedy that lies ahead."--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A young woman learns about life, and love found and lost, in this thought-provoking debut novel by one of the twentieth century's most brilliant and prolific writers--with an introduction by Elisa Gabbert, author of <i>The Unreality of Memory</i></b> <p/><b>"Absolutely unafraid . . . Here at last is a book which attains unity as surely as <i>Wuthering Heights, </i> though by a different path."--E. M. Forster</b> <p/>London, 1905: Twenty-four-year-old Rachel Vinrace is a free spirited but painfully naïve young woman when she embarks on a sea voyage with her family to South America.

The two fall in love, unaware of the tragedy that lies ahead. <p/>With hints of Jane Austen, <i>The Voyage Out</i> is a softer and more traditional novel than Virginia Woolf's later work, even as its poetic style and innovative technique--with detailed portraits of characters' inner lives and mesmeric shifts between the quotidian and the profound--reflect Woolf's signature style. <p/><b>The Modern Library Torchbearers series features women who wrote on their own terms, with boldness, creativity, and a spirit of resistance.</b><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Virginia Woolf </b>(1882-1941) was a novelist, critic, and essayist whose feminist and modernist concerns changed the course of twentieth-century literature. With her husband, Leonard Woolf, she co-founded the Hogarth Press, which published the early works of Katherine Mansfield, T. S. Eliot, E. M. Forster, and Sigmund Freud. Woolf devoted much of her creative energy to forging new forms in fiction, criticism, and biography. She is perhaps best remembered for her 1925 novel <i>Mrs. Dalloway </i>and its pioneering stream-of-consciousness narration.
