Notă biografică

Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was an English writer, born in South Kensington, London. Known for her feminist writings and pioneering work with the narrative style of stream of consciousness, Woolf is widely considered to be one of the most influential modernist writers of the 20th century. Some of her most famous works include Mrs. Dalloway, 1925, To the Lighthouse, 1927, and A Room of One's Own, 1929.

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.

Recenzii

“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
