The Years

Autor Virginia Woolf
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 feb 2013

Spanning five decades, The Years traces the lives, struggles, and evolving relationships of the Pargiter family. While the novel's scope is epic, Virginia Woolf's writing remains deeply personal and intimate.

The Years, published in 1937, is Woolf's final novel released during her lifetime, and it stands as one of her most ambitious and intricately crafted works. She masterfully blends the passage of time with the nuanced exploration of individual lives, creating a richly layered narrative that reflects the social and political transformations of the early twentieth century. Through its unique structure and profound insight, The Years offers a poignant meditation on memory, change, and the enduring bonds of family.

Published by Read & Co. Classics, this new edition of The Years is enhanced with a specially commissioned biography of Woolf, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the author's life and legacy. This timeless novel is a must-have for anyone interested in Woolf's work and the evolution of modern literature.

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:
As the Pargiters, a middle-class English family, move from the oppressive confines of the Victorian home of the 1880s to the `present day' of the 1930s, they are weighed down by the pressures of war, the social strictures of patriarchy, capitalism and Empire, and the rise of Fascism. Engaging with a painful struggle between utopian hopefulness and crippled with despair, the novel is a savage indictment of Virginia Woolf's society, but its bitter sadness is relieved by the longing for some better way of life, where `freedom and justice' might really be possible. This is Virginia Woolf's longest novel, and the one she found the most difficult to write. The most popular of all her writings during her lifetime, it can now be re-read as the most challengingly political, even revolutionary, of all her books.
