Mrs. Dalloway
Autor Virginia Woolf Editat de Amy Liz Harrisonen Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 mai 2025
In this vivid portrait of a single day in a woman’s life, Mrs. Clarissa Dalloway is preoccupied with the last-minute details of preparation for a party while in her mind she is something much more than a perfect society hostess. As she readies her house for friends and neighbors, she is flooded with remembrances of the past—the passionate loves of her carefree youth, her practical choice of husband, and the approach and retreat of war. And, met with the realities of the present, Clarissa reexamines the choices that brought her there, hesitantly looking ahead to the unfamiliar work of growing old.
From the introspective Clarissa, to the lover who never fully recovered from her rejection, to a war-ravaged stranger in the park, the characters and scope of Mrs. Dalloway reshape our sense of ordinary life making it one of the most “moving, revolutionary artworks of the twentieth century” (Michael Cunningham).

Notă biografică
Virginia Woolf, born in 1882, is a pivotal figure in modernist literature, noted for pioneering the stream of consciousness technique. Growing up in a literate London household, she was deeply influenced by her family's intellectual environment. Her tumultuous personal life, marked by early familial losses and mental health struggles, profoundly shaped her themes of existential despair and the fragile human condition. Her major works, including Mrs. Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927), explore memory, self, and the fluidity of time, employing an introspective narrative style that allows readers to deeply connect with her characters. Orlando (1928), a narrative celebrating her relationship with Vita Sackville-West, delves into themes of sexuality and gender fluidity. Woolf's marriage to Leonard Woolf was uniquely progressive, allowing her relational liberty with Vita, and creative freedom in her writing. Together, they established the Hogarth Press, which was instrumental in publishing her works and those of other modernists, enhancing her literary influence. Struggling with severe depression among other mental ailments, Woolf's writings often reflect her personal battles, influencing her perspectives on gender and feminism. Despite her tragic suicide in 1941, Woolf's legacy persists through her innovative literary contributions and profound insights into the human psyche, making her works staples in English literature.
Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Woolf's exquisite exploration of time, memory, and individual identity set in post-war England, now in a beautiful gift edition for the Union Square & Co. Signature Gilded Editions line.
On a sunny day in June, Clarissa Dalloway, elegant and vivacious, is getting ready for a party and exulting in the vibrant swell of London. As Clarissa's preparations take her from the golden morning to the glittering evening, she muses on the choices she made as a young woman, the romances that have enriched her life, and the passage of time. In another part of London, war hero Septimus Smith is suffering from shell shock-what we would now term PTSD-and is haunted by the death of his friend. He finds himself teetering on the brink of madness, unable to leave his wounds behind.
Written in the wake of World War I and the 1918 flu pandemic, this novel achieves an uncanny simulacrum of consciousness-joining past, present, and future, and recording, impression by impression, minute by minute, the feel of life itself. Mrs. Dalloway is one of the most celebrated works of the twentieth century and continues to inspire generations of readers and writers to this day.

“Perhaps her masterpiece...Exquisite and superbly constructed…Required like most writers to choose between the surface and the depths as the basis of her operations, she chooses the surface and then burrows in as far as she can.” –E. M. Forster
“Hers is indisputably among the most sensitive of the minds and imaginations felicitously experimenting with the English novel.” –Jorge Luis Borges
“Virginia Woolf is one of the few writers who changed life for all of us. Her combination of intellectual courage and painful emotional sensitivity created a new way of perceiving and living in the world.” –Margaret Drabble
