To the Lighthouse was â written at the height of her luminous Impressionist visionâ ¦ It is the sunniest of her books and shows the obsession with rendering the passage of time which dominated her later work. â In its portrayal of lifeâ ¦ it gives us an interlude of vision that must stand at the head of all Virginia Woolfâ s workâ (New York Times). Dalloway and three years before The Waves, To the Lighthouse â displays Woolfâ s technique of narrating through stream of consciousness and imagery at its most assured, rich, and suggestiveâ (Drabble, 990). Rare and desirable, especially in this condition and with noted provenance. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Paepcke, along with her husband Walter were philanthropists best noted for founding the Aspen Institute and the Aspen Skiing Company in the early 1950s, both of which helped transform the town of Aspen, Colorado into an international resort destination and popularize the sport of skiing in the United States. From the library of Elizabeth Paepcke, with her signature in pencil to the front free endpaper. Near fine in the rare original dust jacket with light rubbing and wear to the crown of the spine.
