A landmark of twentieth-century literature, Virginia Woolf's most daring and visionary novel dissolves the boundaries of narrative convention in a radiant exploration of friendship, memory, and identity-now with a new introduction by Patti Smith.

"I love," said Susan, "and I hate. I desire one thing only. My eyes are hard. Jinny's eyes break into a thousand lights. Rhoda's are like those pale flowers to which moths come in the evening. Yours grow full and brim and never break."

Spanning a lifetime, The Waves follows six friends from childhood into adulthood, their voices intertwining to trace the rhythms of friendship, love, ambition, loss, and the search for meaning. Together, they comprise a remarkable portrait of human consciousness.

Published in 1931 at the height of Woolf's creative powers, The Waves represents the culmination of her modernist innovation. Blurring the line between novel, prose poem, and philosophical meditation, it remains one of the boldest and most original achievements of twentieth-century fiction.
