The Waves is a 1931 novel by Virginia Woolf. The form of the book is abstract, and it is considered her most experimental work, blurring the lines between prose and poetry. It comprises third-person descriptions of a coastal scene as well as soliloquies delivered by the six characters of the book: Bernard, Susan, Rhoda, Neville, Jinny, and Louis. There is also a seventh character, Percival, although he does not deliver his own soliloquy so the reader never learns much about his life. It is widely believed that these characters are based on people from Woolf’s own life, her friends and family. Originally, what later became The Waves was called The Moths. Virginia Woolf began writing it on July 2nd 1929. It underwent drastic changes during the writing and revising processes, that lasted until the year 1931, when it was eventually published by The Hogarth Press- the Woolf´s own publishing house. The whole plot is enclosed in a scene, that can be found daily all around the world: a sunrise over the ocean and the nearby beach, as well as a garden/nature scenery. Each of these interposed chapters symbolizes a stage of life the protagonists are now at and the developments they face. A classic that deserves to be in your bookshelf.
