The voyage out

The Voyage Out is the first novel by Virginia Woolf, published in 1915. The story follows Rachel Vinrace, a young woman who embarks on a sea voyage from England to a fictional South American country. The journey serves as a backdrop for her exploration of personal identity, relationships, and the constraints of Edwardian society. The narrative delves into themes of introspection, the nature of consciousness, and the challenges of female autonomy, set against the evolving social norms of the early 20th century. more

“There was a message written in pencil on the tiles by the roller towel. This was it: What is the purpose of life? Trout plundered his pockets for a pen or pencil. He had an answer to the question. But he had nothing to write with, not even a burnt match. So he left the question unanswered, but here is what he would have written, if he had found anything to write with: To be the eyes and ears and conscience of the Creator of the Universe, you fool.”
