Jacob'S Room de Virginia Woolf

Jacob'S Room

Autor Virginia Woolf
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 sep 2020
In the heart of post-war London, identity flickers and fades. Jacob's Room, Virginia Woolf's landmark modernist novel, invites readers into a world shaped by the shifting sands of memory and the search for self. Through her pioneering stream of consciousness style, Woolf crafts an intimate portrait of Jacob Flanders-seen through the eyes of friends, family, and fleeting acquaintances-capturing the elusive nature of existence in early 20th century England. With its haunting exploration of existential themes and the aftermath of war, Jacob's Room stands as a touchstone of classic English literature and a cornerstone of the Bloomsbury Group's influence. Woolf's London setting pulses with life, yet remains shadowed by uncertainty, making this novel essential reading for literary enthusiasts and those drawn to questions of identity and self. Both a deeply personal reflection and a bold experiment in form, it continues to inspire academic study and passionate debate among readers. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Perfect for any Virginia Woolf collection, Jacob's Room remains a cultural treasure-restored for those who seek meaning in the spaces between words.

Notă biografică

Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was an English author and one of the most influential modernist writers of the 20th century. Known for her pioneering use of stream of consciousness and exploration of the inner lives of her characters, Woolf's major works include Mrs Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and Orlando. She was a central f igure in the Bloomsbury Group, a circle of writers, artists, and intellectuals who shaped British cultural life. Woolf also wrote essays on literature, feminism, and society, with A Room of One's Own being a foundational feminist text. Her innovative style and bold ideas continue to inspire readers and writers around the world.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'What do we seek through millions of pages? Still hopefully turning the pages -- oh, here is Jacob's room.'Who is Jacob Flanders? Virginia Woolf's third novel, published in 1922 alongside James Joyce's Ulysses and T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land, follows this elusive title character from a sunlit childhood on the Cornwall coast to adventures in Cambridge, London, and Athens. Women fall in love with Jacob; young men desire his company and conversation. But Woolf keeps her scornful, charming protagonist at a distance, enveloping Jacob in mystery as he enters adulthood and the Great War thunders across Europe. A daring work that reimagines every element of the traditional novel, Jacob's Room tells a new story for a new century.In 1922, Lytton Strachey pronounced Jacob's Room 'a most wonderful achievement—more like poetry, it seems to me, than anything else, and as such I prophesy immortal.' One hundred years after its publication, Woolf's first full-length work of experimental fiction pulls us into the inexhaustible mysteries of intimacy and mortality.

Recenzii

Jacob, of whom people speak, of whom they think, but who is never shown. And yet that denial of presence on the part of the author makes of him one of the most living presences in world literature.
She was doing with language something like what Jimi Hendrix does with a guitar.
