Books with title The Lighthouse Children

To the Lighthouse is Virginia Woolf’s arresting analysis of domestic family life, centering on the Ramsays and their visits to the Isle of Skye in Scotland in the early 1900s. Nicole Kidman (Moulin Rouge, Eyes Wide Shut), who won an Oscar for her portrayal of Woolf in the film adaptation of Michael Cunningham’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Hours, brings the impressionistic prose of this classic to vibrant life.Split into three parts, the story observes Mrs. Ramsay, Mr. Ramsay, and their children at their vacation house on the Isle of Skye. While the novel follows seemingly trivial events between the family members, the plot takes a backseat to philosophical introspection, which gave the novel its fame as an icon of modernist literature. The Ramsays' quest to recapture meaning creates a powerful allegory of man’s impermanent battle with the tangible world.To the Lighthouse is part of Audible’s A-List Collection, featuring the world’s most celebrated actors narrating distinguished works of literature that each star helped select.

All children need someone who will listen to them, support them, and protect them. This concept is metaphorically expressed in The Lighthouse, by Denise Akeroyd-Guillory, with a lighthouse representing a child's primary source of support. Through engaging and fast-moving text and vibrant and relevant illustrations, the idea of a lighthouse and its parallel to children's primary support network is presented in a straightforward and easily understandable manner. This book can be used by parents, guardians, teachers, mental health professionals, and anyone else in a helping profession to assess a child's primary support person. In fact, The Lighthouse has been shown to be an effective tool for individuals of all ages in helping them to express the person or people who are their primary support resources, even though it is primarily a children's book. Its message of the importance of support for each person is inspirational.

Early on a summer morning, about the beginning of the nineteenth century, two fishermen of Forfarshire wended their way to the shore, launched their boat, and put off to sea. One of the men was tall and ill-favoured, the other, short and well-favoured. Both were square-built, powerful fellows, like most men of the class to which they belonged. It was about that calm hour of the morning which precedes sunrise, when most living creatures are still asleep, and inanimate nature wears, more than at other times, the semblance of repose. The sea was like a sheet of undulating glass. A breeze had been expected, but, in defiance of expectation, it had not come, so the boatmen were obliged to use their oars. They used them well, however, insomuch that the land ere long appeared like a blue line on the horizon, then became tremulous and indistinct, and finally vanished in the mists of morning.

[Read by Phyllida Law]To the Lighthouse is at once a vivid impressionist depiction of a family holiday, and a meditation on a marriage, on parenthood and childhood, on grief, tyranny, and bitterness. Its use of stream of consciousness, reminiscence, and shifting perspectives gives the novel an intimate, poetic essence, and at the time of publication in 1927 it represented an utter rejection of Victorian and Edwardian literary values.
