To the Lighthouse – inglés (9789878466071)The novel centres on the Ramsay family and their visits to the Isle of Skye in Scotland between 1910 and 1920.
To the Lighthouse, considered by many to be Virginia Woolf’s finest novel, is a remarkably original work, showing the thoughts and actions of the members of a family and their guests on two separate occasions, ten years apart. The setting is Mr. and Mrs. Ramsay’s house on a Scottish island, where they traditionally take their summer holidays, overlooking a bay with a lighthouse.
From the seemingly trivial postponement of a visit to a nearby lighthouse, Woolf constructs a remarkable, moving examination of the complex tensions and allegiances of family life and the conflict between men and women.9789878466071Woolf, VirginiaThe years – inglés (9789878466064)The Years by Virginia Woolf, follows the members of the same family, the Pargiters, over three generations. In this time, their lives and the world around them change drastically, and they struggle to grasp the meaning of life and connect with other people.
The characters come and go, meet, talk, think, dream, grow older, in a continuous ritual of life that eludes meaning.
The Years was both the last and the most popular of Virginia Woolf’s novels to published during her lifetime.9789878466064Woolf, VirginiaThe waves – inglés (9789878466057)Innovative and deeply poetic, The Waves is often regarded as Virginia Woolf’s masterpiece.
It begins with six children—three boys and three girls—playing in a garden by the sea, and follows their lives as they grow up, experience friendship and love, and grapple with the death of their beloved friend Percival. Instead of describing their outward expressions of grief, Woolf draws her characters from the inside, revealing their inner lives: their aspirations, their triumphs and regrets, their awareness of unity and isolation.
More than any of Virginia Woolf’s other novels, The Waves conveys the full complexity and richness of human experience.9789878466057Woolf, VirginiaA room of one’s own – en inglés (9789878466026)A Room of One’s Own is one of Virginia Woolf’s most influential works and widely recognized for its extraordinary contribution to the women’s movement. The work was ranked by The Guardian newspaper as number 45 in the 100 World’s Best Non-fiction Books.
In this extraordinary essay, Virginia Woolf examines the limitations of womanhood in the early twentieth century. With the startling prose and poetic licence of a novelist, she makes a bid for freedom, emphasizing that the lack of an independent income, and the titular room of one´s own, prevents most women from reaching their full literary potential. As relevant in its insight and indignation today as it was when first delivered in those hallowed lecture theatres, A Room of One´s Own remains both a beautiful work of literature and an incisive analysis of women and their place in the world.9789878466026Woolf, Virginiawomen in the twentieth century; Woolf; freedom; poety; rights
