Virginia Woolf
(Adeline) Virginia Woolf was an English novelist and essayist regarded as one of the foremost modernist literary figures of the twentieth century.During the interwar period, Woolf was a significant figure in London literary society and a member of the Bloomsbury Group. Her most famous works include the novels Mrs. Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), and Orlando (1928), and the book-length essay A Room of One's Own (1929) with its famous dictum, "a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction."

Virginia Woolf
Este libro recoge la mayor parte de la correspondencia que la escritora Virginia Woolf y el biógrafo e historiador Lytton Strachey intercambiaron entre 1906 y 1931, año de la muerte de este último. Se publicó originalmente en 1956 en la legendaria Hogarth Press (fundada en 1917 por la propia Woolf y su esposo, Leonard), editada por Leonard Woolf y James Strachey, hermano de Lytton y primer traductor de Freud al inglés. La resonancia de ambos nombres da cuenta de la extraordinaria generación a la que pertenecieron: los Woolf y los Strachey formaron parte del Círculo de Bloombsbury, integrado, entre otros, por personajes de la talla del filósofo Bertrand Russell, el economista John Maynard Keynes, el escritor Edward Morgan Foster y la pintora Dora Carrington. Todos ellos aparecen mencionados en la correspondencia (que comienza cuando ninguno de los dos tenía, propiamente, una carrera como escritor), pero ésta da cuenta, sobre todo, de los intereses literarios de Woolf y Strachey. (De hecho, muchas de las opiniones vertidas en las cartas aparecieron más tarde en las páginas del Times Literary Supplement.) Woolf, por ejemplo, se refiere a Dostoyevski como «el más grande escritor que haya existido jamás» y despacha el Ulysses de Joyce comparando al escritor irlandés con «un nauseabundo estudiante universitario que se rasca los granos»; Strachey, por su parte, declara que las novelas de Henry James «son notables por su absoluta falta de humor». El humor, precisamente, era algo que no le faltaba ni a Woolf ni a Strachey, por lo que la correspondencia está salpicada de comentarios irónicos y chistes crueles. Por esto último, en parte, la primera edición fue ampliamente censurada por los editores. La edición de Jus, sin embargo, se propone restituir las frases y los nombres omitidos (a causa de las duras leyes sobre libelo de la Inglaterra de la primera mitad del siglo xx) acudiendo a transcripciones más recientes y a los originales de las cartas, resguardadas en el Smith College de Massachussets.
A Arte da Brevidade: Contos
Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf escreveu poucos contos, muitos deles meros esboços, exercícios, ensaios de escrita. Mas em alguns estão concentradas características de seus romances mais experimentais: a rejeição do realismo literário, o uso de técnicas narrativas pouco ortodoxas, a experimentação com a estrutura e a sintaxe.
Em edição bilíngue e com acabamento de luxo, a presente coletânea reúne os melhores desses contos. “ O legado ” pertence ao conjunto dos seus contos mais convencionais, mas serve de contraste para melhor apreciação das ousadas técnicas que caracterizam os outros quatro aqui incluídos – “ A marca na parede ”, “ Objetos sólidos ”, “ A dama no espelho ” e “ Kew Gardens ”.

A Room of One’s Own
Virginia Woolf
A Room of One's Own is an extended essay by Virginia Woolf. First published on the 24th of October, 1929, the essay was based on a series of lectures she delivered at Newnham College and Girton College, two women's colleges at Cambridge University in October 1928. While this extended essay in fact employs a fictional narrator and narrative to explore women both as writers and characters in fiction, the manuscript for the delivery of the series of lectures, titled Women and Fiction, and hence the essay, are considered nonfiction. The essay is seen as a feminist text, and is noted in its argument for both a literal and figural space for women writers within a literary tradition dominated by patriarchy.
A Room of One's Own and Three Guineas
Virginia Woolf
WITH AN INTRODUCTION, PLUS EXTENSIVE NOTES AND REFERENCES BY HERMIONE LEE
This volume combines two books which were among the greatest contributions to feminist literature this century. Together they form a brilliant attack on sexual inequality. A Room of One's Own, first published in 1929, is a witty, urbane and persuasive argument against the intellectual subjection of women, particularly women writers. The sequel, Three Guineas, is a passionate polemic which draws a startling comparison between the tyrannous hypocrisy of the Victorian patriarchal system and the evils of fascism.

A Room Of One's Own: The Virginia Woolf Library Authorized Edition
Virginia Woolf
Why is it that men, and not women, have always had power, wealth, and fame? Woolf cites the two keys to fixed income and one’s own room. Foreword by Mary Gordon.
A Room of One's Own / The Voyage Out
Virginia Woolf
In A Room of One's Own, Virginia Woolf imagines that Shakespeare had a sister: a sister equal to Shakespeare in talent, equal in genius, but whose legacy is radically different.This imaginary woman never writes a word and dies by her own hand, her genius unexpressed. But if only she had found the means to create, urges Woolf, she would have reached the same heights as her immortal sibling. In this classic essay, Virginia Woolf takes on the establishment, using her gift of language to dissect the world around her and give a voice to those who have none. Her message is simple: A woman must have a fixed income and a room of her own in order to have the freedom to create. Annotated and with an introduction by Susan Gubar
A Room of One's Own / Three Guineas
Virginia Woolf
In these texts, Virginia Woolf considers the implications of the historical exclusion of women from education and from economic independence. In A Room of One's Own (1929), she examines the work of past women writers, and looks ahead to a time when women's creativity will not be hampered by poverty, or by oppression. In Three Guineas (1938), however, Woolf argues that women's historical exclusion offers them the chance to form a political and cultural identity which could challenge the drive towards fascism and war.
A Room's of One Own
Virginia Woolf
A Room of One's Own is considered Virginia Woolf's most powerful feminist essay, justifying the need for women to possess intellectual freedom and financial independence. Based on a lecture given at Girton College, Cambridge, the essay is one of the great feminist polemics, ranging in its themes from Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte to the silent fate of Shakespeare's gifted (imaginary) sister and the effects of poverty and sexual constraint on female creativity.
Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) is regarded as a major twentieth-century author and essayist, a key figure in literary history as a feminist and a modernist, and the centre of 'The Bloomsbury Group'.
Arvet
Virginia Woolf
Likt flera av Virginia Woolfs noveller är "Arvet" en studie i människans egoism och självupptagenhet och berör frågor som svartsjuka, könsroller, identitet och jämlikhet. Woolfs starka övertygelse att fiktion inte ska paketera verkligheten som en absolut sanning gjorde henne till en mästare på att gestalta tillvaron såsom den skulle kunna upplevas av de olika sidorna i persongalleriet. Och precis som i flera av Woolfs noveller bjuder slutet på en tvist.
A Society
Virginia Woolf
The plot is about a group of girls who form a society. They vow that none of them will marry or have children until they can determine what men have been doing all the this time and whether it was worth it for women to spend their youth in bearing an raising them
As Ondas
Virginia Woolf
"Eu passarei como uma nuvem por cima das ondas", escreveu uma vez Virginia Woolf. Não foi a única referência que deixou sobre o mar, elemento que muito a atraía. Nem foi casual o título da obra à qual dedicou mais tempo e reflexões que às outras. Com "As Ondas", Woolf sabia que mergulhava nas profundezas do ser humano. Fê-lo com um manejo da língua quase poético. Expôs a análise pessoal em monólogos elaborados. Queria que fosse uma obra perfeita, e conseguiu-o, em muitos sentidos.
"As Ondas" narra as vivências de um grupo de seis pessoas através dos tempos. Elas crescem, amadurecem e envelhecem, num processo visto de uma perspectiva interior. São indivíduos que arrastam as suas características, os seus medos e as suas solidões. Seis mundos que se formam um só. Através das suas personagens, Woolf expõe temas que constituem a sua preocupação constante: a passagem do tempo, o sentido da existência humana, a realidade das coisas e a morte.
A Viagem
Virginia Woolf
Publicado em 1915, A Viagem é o primeiro romance de Virginia Woolf e também um dos mais brilhantes e difíceis livros de sua carreira. Embora a autora tenha sofrido consideráveis perdas familiares durante a redação da obra, nela já estão presentes as magníficas características de sua linguagem e de seu estilo.Apesar de ter sido uma crítica ferina tanto da romantização, quanto da caracterização pseu-realista dos enredos e personagens, Virgina Woolf deixa transparecer aqui elementos e dados mais imediatos de sua vida pessoal, familiar e social. Pode se dizer que Rachel Vinrace é ela própria, assim como Helen e Ridley são seus pais.No entanto, já em seu primeiro romance, o que interessa a Virginia Woolf não é apenas a elaboração de um interessantíssimo enredo - basta dizer que uma das regiões desta "viagem" é a "boca do Amazonas". É, antes de tudo, transformar o texto num espaço em que o leitor descubra que a experiência literária consiste em libertar-se da vida cotidiana e viajar para além de seus constrangimentos e limites.
A Viúva e o Papagaio
Virginia Woolf
Imprevisível, divertido e inteligente, este conto acompanha a aventura da Sra. Gage, uma velha viúva que descobre uma herança inesperada com a ajuda de um papagaio invulgar. "Não está ninguém em casa!", "Não está ninguém em casa!" é só o que o papagaio James sabe dizer, mas ele esconde um segredo, assim como esta história esconde uma lição…
A Writer's Diary
Virginia Woolf
An invaluable guide to the art and mind of Virginia Woolf, drawn from the personal record she kept over a period of twenty-seven years.
Included are entries that refer to her own writing, and those that are relevant to the raw material of her work, and, finally, comments on the books she was reading. The first entry included here is dated 1918 and the last, three weeks before her death in 1941. Between these points of time unfolds the private world—the anguish, the triumph, the creative vision—of one of the great writers of the twentieth century.
“ A Writer’s Diary . . . is Virginia Woolf . . . The whole vibrates with the ups and downs of a passionate relationship . . . in the intensities, variations, alarms and excursions, panics and exaltations of her relationship to her art.”— New York Times Book Review
Edited and with a Preface by Leonard Woolf.
A Writer's Diary: Being Extracts from the Diary of Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf’s A Writer's Diary, first published in 1953, consists of extracts from the diaries she kept from 1918-41, gathered together by her husband Leonard Woolf to show her in the act of writing, when ‘she reveals, more nakedly perhaps than any other writer has done, the exquisite pleasure and pains... of artistic creation.’
Between the Acts
Virginia Woolf
In Woolf's last novel, the action takes place on one summer's day at a country house in the heart of England, where the villagers are presenting their annual pageant. A lyrical, moving valedictory.
Bibliothèque illustrée - Kew Gardens
Virginia Woolf
" Dans cette courte nouvelle publiée en 1919 et très connue outre-manche, Virginia Woolf use de la technique narrative du flux de conscience et serpente à travers les parterres de fleurs et le long du lac des jardins botaniques anglais de Kew Gardens. À la manière d'un tableau impressionniste, l'autrice offre des descriptions sensorielles au plus proche de la nature et rassemble ces images dans un tableau d'une grande vitalité. Par fragments, elle parvient à rendre compte de la multiplicité comprise dans la nature et les jardins de Kew Gardens constituent, pour elle, une toile de fond idéale pour explorer l'imbrication des mondes humain et naturel. "
Box Grandes Obras Virginia Woolf (Portuguese Edition)
Virginia Woolf
Este box reúne três clássicos de uma das maiores escritoras inglesas do século Virginia Woolf. Mrs. Dalloway é considerado a obra-prima de Virginia. Publicado originalmente em 1925, o romance descreve um dia na vida de Clarissa Dalloway, uma dama de nobre linhagem casada com um parlamentar conservador e mãe de uma adolescente. O mundo de Mrs. Dalloway — suas memórias, sonhos, arrependimentos e medos, na Londres do pós-Primeira Guerra — é evocado no famoso fluxo de consciência de Woolf, em uma linguagem lírica e pungente que fez deste título um dos mais importantes do século XX. Esta edição conta com a tradução do grande poeta Mario Quintana e a delicada apresentação da jornalista Marília Gabriela. Original e transgressora, Orlando é uma das histórias mais populares de Virginia Woolf. Com o dom de permanecer sempre jovem, a personagem empreende uma viagem por mais de três séculos, assumindo diversos papéis na sociedade de um jovem membro da aristocracia elisabetana a uma mulher moderna dos anos 1920. A natureza do homem e da mulher, o amor, a vida em sociedade, a literatura, tudo é desnudado pela escritora inglesa com um humor fantástico. Publicado pela primeira vez em 1928, o livro foi um marco na literatura, e particularmente na escrita das mulheres e nos estudos de gênero.
Esta edição conta com a tradução e a apresentação de Laura Alves. As ondas é um dos romances mais experimentais de Virginia Woolf e considerado uma das obras capitais da literatura do século XX, tanto pela originalidade quanto pela beleza fascinante de sua prosa poética. O livro é composto por uma sucessão de monólogos interiores de seis personagens, intercalados com breves descrições da natureza. Cada personagem exprime sua voz e se retira, em um movimento rítmico que evoca o fluxo e o refluxo das marés. Esta edição conta com a tradução da escritora Lya Luft, que transpôs com sucesso para a língua portuguesa toda a complexidade da narrativa de Virginia Woolf.
Cartas a mujeres
Virginia Woolf
Se recogen aquí las cartas a las más significativas corresponsales de Virginia Woolf, como su hermana Vanessa, y sus protectoras, amigas o relaciones literarias y editoriales más Violet Dickinson, Vita Sackville-West, Victoria Ocampo, Katherine Mansfield y Ethel Smyth. Estas cartas forman una conversación, una membrana móvil sin un dibujo reconocible, salvo en el reenvío permanente de las imágenes de unas corresponsales sobre otras. Todo se interrumpe en ellas con fragmentos de informaciones cuya única función es una alianza episódica con la destinataria en los juegos de poder. Alianzas ambiguas en es mujer –subordinada– pero pertenece a una clase que domina; sobre criadas y cocineras, sobre proveedores o transeú los pobres. Cuando conversa, como en las cartas a sus amigas, habla con soltura de esas ambigüedades. Son parte explícita de un azar controlado. Y una carta es, hasta cierto punto, azar y control a la vez.
Cenas Londrinas
Virginia Woolf
Um retrato da década de 1930 em Londres — e uma aula sobre como explorar a consciência da modernidade.
Cenas londrinas compila seis crônicas nas quais Virginia Woolf confirma sua paixão por sua cidade natal. Virginia faz um retrato da década de 1930 ao observar o encanto da moderna Londres. Ao se deslocar para a perspectiva tanto de grandes homens quanto de cidadãos comuns, a autora oferece uma visão original, clara e atraente do movimento orgânico das ruas.
Inicialmente publicado com cinco narrativas – produzidas entre 1931 e 1932 –, a este volume se soma a crônica descoberta na biblioteca da Universidade de Sussex, em 2005. É como se Virginia estivesse conduzindo o leitor por um passeio, começa nas docas de Londres, depois migra para o tumultuado comércio ambulante da Oxford Street, prossegue com um curioso giro por endereços de grandes homens – em busca de escritores ilustres. Há a contemplação das catedrais de St. Paul e de Westminster, e a visita à casa de Keats, em Hampstead. Por fim, o olhar se fixa na figura típica da mulher de classe média inglesa, para Ivo Barroso, “a visão de um microcosmo representativo de toda uma nacionalidade”.

Correspondencia erótica
Virginia Woolf
Correspondencia erótica presenta la ardiente, inusual y a veces contradictoria relación epistolar entre dos grandes escritoras del siglo xx. Por un lado, Vita Sackville-West, aristócrata y autora muy reconocida y comentada en su tiempo; por el otro, la mundialmente célebre –aunque no en aquel momento– Virginia Woolf. Ambas casadas, alejadas por su origen social y por unos diez años de diferencia, fueron sacudidas (en palabras de Vir Cano, prologuista de este libro) por un amorío im/propio. Aquí, reunimos las cartas que se escribieron desde la génesis de una idea que luego se convertiría en Orlando: una autobiografía, hasta su posterior publicación y los primeros e inesperados momentos de su recepción entre el público y la crítica.
Cuentos completos (Spanish Edition)
Virginia Woolf
En Cuentos completos se reúnen relatos y cuentos escritos por Virginia Woolf. Autora también de novelas y con una vasta producción ensayística, la literatura de Virginia Woolf puede observarse pulida y prolija a través de sus cuentos y relatos breves, como en La "Así comenzó todo. Éramos un grupo de seis o siete reunidas después del té. Algunas miraban hacia la sombrerera de enfrente, donde las plumas rojas y las pantuflas doradas seguían iluminadas en la vidriera; otras dejaban pasar el tiempo construyendo pequeñas torres de azúcar en el borde de la bandeja del té. Pasado un momento, según lo recuerdo, nos ubicamos alrededor del fuego y comenzamos, como de costumbre, a elogiar a los hombres. Qué fuertes, qué nobles, qué inteligentes, qué valientes, qué bellos eran; y cómo envidiábamos a aquellas que, por las buenas o por las malas, lograban unirse a uno de por vida. Hasta que Poll, que había permanecido en silencio hasta el momento, rompió a llorar. Poll, debo admitirlo, siempre ha sido algo extraña. Para empezar, su padre era un hombre extraño. Le dejó una fortuna en su testamento, pero con la condición de que leyera todos los libros de la biblioteca de Londres. Intentábamos consolarla lo mejor que podíamos, pero en el fondo sabíamos que era inútil."
Cuentos de Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf (1882 –1941) participó del insigne grupo de Bloomsbury y fundó con su marido una editorial en la que publicó, entre otros escritores importantes, a sus amigos T.S. Elliot y Katherine Mansfield. Además del celebérrimo ensayo Una habitación propia o de la novela La señora Dalloway , Woolf es también la autora de una valiosa obra de cuentos de la que recogemos aquí una muestra representativa. La obra de la autora está unánimemente considerada como una de las cotas más altas de la prosa inglesa y a menudo sus cuentos constituían experimentos o probaturas y ejercicios que desarrolló en sus novelas y que más tarde la encumbrarían, junto con Joyce, Proust y Faulkner, al exclusivo panteón de los mejores escritores del siglo XX.
Dalgalar
Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf, 1931'de yayımladığı Dalglar'ı yazarken, bu kitapla o güne değin hiçbir başka romancının göze alamayacağı değişik şeyleri yapmak istediğini, bu romanın o güne değin yazılan hiçbir başka romana benzemeyeceğini biliyordu. (...) Çünkü Dalgalar, 'hem düzyazıyla kaleme alınacak, hem de şiir olacaktı; hem roman olacaktı, hem de tiyatro oyunu."
-Mina Urgan, Virginia Woolf-
Virginia Woolf, Dalgalar'da dış dünyayı yok eder. Üç erkek ve üç kadının çocukluklarından yaşlılık dönemlerine kadar tüm hayatlarının anlatıldığı kitapta dış dünya nesnel olarak değil, ancak kişilerin iç dünyalarına yansıdığı kadarıyla verilir. "Bir olay örgüsüne uyarak değil, bir ritme uyarak" yazılan kitap, "şiir olmayan herhangi bir şey edebiyata neden girsin ki" diyen Woolf tarafından iki yıl içinde üç kez yazılır ve dalgaların sesine uydurularak, şiir gibi yüksek sesle okunarak düzeltilir... Gerçekçi roman geleneğinden tam bir kopuşu temsil eden Dalgalar, bilinç akışı tekniğiyle yazılan romanların en önemlilerinden biridir.
"Zeki, alaycı, çok ciddi" Bir kadın veya bir savaş karşıtı veya her ikisi de iseniz, okuyun."
-Times-
De la enfermedad
Virginia Woolf
He aquí un texto lleno de imágenes y metáforas sorprendentes sobre la salud y la enfermedad, las relaciones del alma y el cuerpo, el lenguaje, las lecturas, lo ilusorio y lo real, la soledad, la compasión y la franqueza... La autora discurre sobre cómo influye la enfermedad en la actividad lectora.
Deniz Feneri
Virginia Woolf
Yirminci yüzyılda roman geleneğini köklü biçimde değiştiren yazarlar arasında önemli bir yeri olan Virginia Woolf’un Deniz Feneri adlı kitabı, en çok okunan ve en sevilen romanları arasında yer alıyor. Bu romanıyla Woolf kendini zamanının öteki yazarlarından ayıran biçem ve yöntemi geliştirmiş, kendi roman tekniğine uygun en iyi yapıtını vermiştir. Bilindiği gibi James Joyce ve Virginia Woolf, bireyin günlük yaşamını ‘bilinç akışı’ ile birlikte ve olduğu gibi, tüm karmaşıklığıyla yapıtlarına yansıtmayı amaç edinen, biçime özen gösteren yazarların başında gelirler. Ramsay ailesinin İskoçya’daki yazlıklarında geçirdikleri birkaç günü anlatan Deniz Feneri, yazarın kendi hayatından izler taşıyor. Bu arada, yazarın, güçlü İngiliz kadın hareketinden etkilendiğini ve zamanın önde gelen feminist yazarlarından olduğunu da gözardı etmemek gerekir. İlk kez 1927 yılında yayımlanan bu romanın baş kadın kişisi Mrs. Ramsay, o yılların okur yazar, varlıklı ya da orta sınıf kadınlarının feminizm adına yaptıklarını, düşündüklerini yansıtmaktadır.
"Deniz Feneri, İngilizce’deki muazzam ağıtlardan biridir, zamanı aşan bir kitap."
Margaret Drabble
Diário - 1915-1926
Virginia Woolf
Entre 1915 e 1926, Virginia Woolf escreveu regularmente e em grande detalhe sobre os pequenos e grandes acontecimentos do seu dia a dia - marcado no panorama nacional e internacional pelos esforços da Primeira Guerra Mundial e mudanças políticas sísmicas, e na esfera privada por perdas, conflitos, momentos de grande criatividade e também de grande sofrimento, ensombrados pela doença mental.
Este diário, anotado e enriquecido com cartas e ensaios de Virginia Woolf, permite-nos conhecer de forma íntima e sem filtros os pensamentos de um dos maiores nomes da literatura, com rasgos líricos surpreendentes e passagens de uma inteligência acutilante.
Diario di una scrittrice
Virginia Woolf
Nel 1941, dopo aver dato alla letteratura del Novecento alcune delle sue opere più belle, Virginia Woolf si toglie la vita annegandosi nel fiume Ouse. Nel 1958 Leonard Woolf decide di raccogliere in volume una selezione tratta dai diari della moglie, incentrata su tutto ciò che riguarda lo scrivere e la sua attività di romanziera e critica letteraria. Ne esce un testo affascinante e ricco di sfaccettature: nella sua quotidiana "mezz'ora dopo il tè" dedicata al diario, che considera al tempo stesso un modo per esercitarsi e un messaggio diretto alla se stessa di domani, la Woolf intreccia riflessioni legate ai testi che sta scrivendo o leggendo, appunti di carattere stilistico o strutturale, descrizioni di luoghi, amici ed eventi pubblici o privati, ma anche le amare considerazioni su un mondo lacerato dalla guerra, l'alternarsi tra sfiducia e orgoglio per il proprio lavoro e gli accenni alla tortura delle crisi nervose, sempre più frequenti col passare degli anni. A metà strada fra letteratura e vita, queste pagine offrono la rappresentazione penetrante di un'autrice simbolo e della sua epoca.
Die Fahrt zum Leuchtturm
Virginia Woolf
Im Jahr 2015 wählten 82 internationale Literaturkritiker Virginia Woolfs ›To the Lighthouse‹ zum zweit-bedeutendsten britischen Roman. aller Zeiten. Nicht von ungefähr: Woolfs brillanter Erzählstil ermöglicht es, eine Geschichte, die vor allem von reflektierender Innenschau geprägt ist, in einer Spannung zu erzählen, dass man das Buch nicht mehr aus der Hand legen kann. Im Zentrum steht die Familie Ramsay und deren Besuche im Sommerhaus auf der schottischen Isle of Skye, vor und nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg. Symbolisch wie real ragt im Hintergrund der malerische Leuchtturm von Godrevy Point auf, den man den Kindern bald zu besuchen verspricht. Doch subkutane, kaum wahrnehmbare häusliche Konflikte, von Woolf wie mit einem Seziermesser herausgeschält, sabotieren die Fahrt. Erst viele Jahre später findet sie statt. Doch alles hat sich bis dahin verändert. – Der Roman wurde schon kurz nach seinem Erscheinen als grandioses Stück Literatur gefeiert und verkaufte sich besser als alle Romane von Virginia Woolf zuvor.
Über die Autorin: Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) war eine der bedeutendsten europäischen Schriftstellerinnen und gab der Literatur des 20. Jahrhunderts völlig neue Impulse. Zeitlebens unter Depressionen leidend, beging sie im Alter von 59 Jahren Selbstmord.
Doamna Dalloway
Virginia Woolf
A stunning new edition of Virginia Woolf's engulfing portrait of a day in one woman's life.
Clarissa Dalloway, elegant and vivacious, is preparing for a party and remembering those she once loved. In another part of London, Septimus Warren Smith is suffering from shell-shock and is on the brink of madness. Smith's day interweaves with that of Clarissa and her friends, their lives converging as the party reaches its glittering climax. Virginia Woolf's masterly novel, in which she perfected the interior monologue, brings past, present, and future together on one momentous day in June 1923.
Ein Zimmer für sich allein
Virginia Woolf
Hätte Shakespeare eine Schwester gehabt, ebenso begabt wie er, wie wäre es ihr ergangen? Welche Widerstände mussten Jane Austen oder die Brontë-Schwestern überwinden? Im Oktober 1928 hielt Virginia Woolf zwei Vorträge am ersten Frauencollege Grossbritanniens an der Universität Cambridge. Ob ihnen bewusst sei, fragte Woolf ihre Zuhörerinnen, dass sie vielleicht »das am häufigsten abgehandelte Tier des Universums« seien? Schliesslich wurde Literatur über Frauen fast ausschliesslich von Männern verfasst. Aus Woolfs Vorträgen entstand der Essay Ein Zimmer für sich allein, den sie ein Jahr später veröffentlichte. Bereits zu Woolfs Lebzeiten gepriesen, wurde ihre Abhandlung über Frauen und Literatur zu einem der wegweisenden Texte der Frauenbewegung. Engagiert, poetisch, erfahrungssatt und ironisch analysiert Woolf Geschlechterdifferenzen und führt aus, was Frauen brauchen, um grosse Literatur zu produzieren: finanzielle, vor allem aber geistige Unabhängigkeit, im viktorianischen England symbolisiert durch ein eigenes Zimmer.
El cuarto de Jacob
Virginia Woolf
De Jacob Flanders no se sabe sino lo que se deja entrever en las impresiones que los otros personajes tienen de el y sin embargo el es el centro constante de la narracion. La primera novela experimental de Virginia Woolf trabaja entonces sobre ese vacio del personaje central, una novela sin protagonista si se la aborda desde la perspectiva tradicional. La narracion es un estudio de caracter, construida por el relato y los pensamientos ajenos, y sin embargo el argumento se desarrolla sin interrupciones, siguiendo a Jacob desde su infancia hasta el desenlace de la historia. Es a la vez un relato de un joven exitoso que encarna los valores de la sociedad inglesa. Un mundo que terminara, como el libro, con la Primera Guerra Mundial. Flanders recuerda asi a Flandes -la region Flamenca- y a sus campos de batalla con la sangre derramada que terminara simbolizada por amapolas rojas."
El diario de Virginia Woolf. Vol. I (1915-1919)
Virginia Woolf
El 1 de enero de 1915 , ya casada con Leonard Woolf y en su casa de Richmond, Virginia Woolf decidió registrar diariamente sus quehaceres y reflexiones. Era una escritora de genio indiscutible y una mujer atormentada, víctima de una dolorosa depresión que la dejó inerme solo seis meses después del comienzo de aquellas páginas íntimas. No obstante, volvió a ellas en agosto de 1917. Nada hay más secreto que un diario. Lo que revela siempre explica lo que uno es. ¿Quién no quiere adentrarse en el bosque oscuro de Virginia Woolf, autora de obras que dan luz al siglo xx y que son germen a su vez de miles de novelas y ensayos?Este volumen recoge las primeras reflexiones de la mujer novelista y nos ayuda a comprender los distintos personajes que conforman el gran elenco desplegado en su ficción.

Este ebook presenta el relato de "El foco" escrito por Virginia Woolf. Virginia Woolf (1882 – 1941) fue una novelista, ensayista, escritora de cartas, editora, feminista y escritora de cuentos británica, considerada como una de las más destacadas figuras del modernismo literario del siglo XX. Durante el período de entreguerras, Woolf fue una figura significativa en la sociedad literaria de Londres y un miembro del grupo de Bloomsbury. Sus obras más famosas incluyen las novelas La señora Dalloway (1925), Al faro (1927), Orlando: una biografía (1928), Las olas (1931), y su largo ensayo Una habitación propia (1929), con su famosa sentencia "Una mujer debe tener dinero y una habitación propia si va a escribir ficción". Fue redescubierta durante la década de 1970, gracias a este ensayo, uno de los textos más citados del movimiento feminista, que expone las dificultades de las mujeres para consagrarse a la escritura en un mundo dominado por los hombres.

Eseje wybrane
Virginia Woolf
Ten wybór różni się od dotychczasowych prezentacji eseistyki Woolf: pisarka nie występuje tu jedynie jako czytelniczka, recenzentka, komentatorka i teoretyczka literatury modernistycznej, lecz przede wszystkim jest „uwikłana w świat”: podróżuje, angażuje się w dyskusje nad ważnymi kwestiami społecznymi, domaga się prawa do „zintensyfikowanego istnienia” dla kobiet, dzieci i zwierząt, chadza do kina, na wystawy i na wiece protestacyjne. Stając w obronie tej „wszechogarniającej przemożnej siły” i „pobudzającej energii”, jaką jest życie, z fascynującą precyzją i przenikliwością rekonstruuje momenty zdumienia istnieniem i śmiercią, budując przy tym zdania należące do najpiękniejszych, jakie zna literatura.
Teksty Woolf są olśniewające, precyzyjne, pełne genialnych spostrzeżeń dotyczących zarówno „żywego życia”, jak i jego literackiej odmiany, czasem lekkie i dowcipne, czasem bezwzględne i złośliwe, a czasem bolesne i mroczne – zawsze jednak jest to literatura najwyższej próby, czy – jak powiedziałaby może sama autorka – najwyższych lotów.
Essays on the Self (Classic Collection)
Virginia Woolf
Questions of identity and individual experience are addressed by Virgina Woolf in this superb collection
The Notting Hill Editions Classic Collection series brings together the great essayists of the past, introduced by contemporary writers. Essays on the Self is a surprising collection spanning twenty-one years of Virginia Woolf’s life, from the ages of thirty-seven to fifty-eight, the year before her suicide. The question of the self is central, in some way, to every essay in this book. Whether she is discussing the rights of women, the revolutions of modernity, social inequality, or the future of the novel, Woolf acknowledges that a writer’s task is to find a unique self through which to view the world. The thirteen essays are introduced by the novelist Joanna Kavenna.
Estar enfermo: Notas desde las habitaciones de los enfermos
Virginia Woolf
En 1926, a petición de T. S. Eliot para su revista The New Criterion, Virginia Woolf escribió un pequeño ensayo donde lamentaba que «la enfermedad no haya ocupado su lugar, con el amor, las batallas y los celos, entre los principales temas de la literatura». Su propia experiencia la llevaba a valorar ese estado en que la improductividad nos opone al «ejército de los erguidos» y la sensibilidad a lo incomprensible y lo oscuro se impone a la inteligencia que normalmente «domina nuestros sentidos». Estar enfermo trata además con humor la literatura idónea para los tiempos de enfermedad, y es en sí mismo un texto agitado, volátil, literariamente muy original.
Et eget rom
Virginia Woolf
Boken er basert på to forelesninger som forfatteren holdt i 1928 ved Newnham College og Girton College i Cambridge. Hun tar opp kvinners status, spesielt kunstnerkvinners, og hun hevder at de må ha penger og et eget rom for å arbeide. Forelesningene skulle omhandle kvinner og skjønnlitteratur og innledningsvis forklarer hun hvordan hun oppfatter temaet.
Fale
Virginia Woolf
Arcydzieło prozy modernistycznej.
Fale, wydane w 1931 roku, uchodzą za jedną z najbardziej eksperymentalnych powieści Virginii Woolf, która wykorzystuje tu technikę strumienia świadomości, miesza swobodnie poezję z prozą, koncentruje się na głębi psychologicznej bohaterów i - jak sama stwierdziła – przedkłada „rytm” nad „akcję”.
W ogrodzie nad morzem od świtu do zmierzchu, od dzieciństwa po starość, sześciu bohaterów snuje na przemian swoje monologi. Zmieniają się pory dnia, upływają lata, odmieniają się ich uczucia i oni sami, lecz ich głosom niezmiennie towarzyszy ten sam szum morskich fal. Fale Virginii Woolf to powieść o przemijaniu czasu i pragnieniu harmonii w chaosie wszechświata. To także literackie studium tożsamości indywiduum oraz tożsamości wspólnoty.
Flush
Virginia Woolf
This story of Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s cocker spaniel, Flush, enchants right from the opening pages. Although Flush has adventures of his own with bullying dogs, horrid maids, and robbers, he also provides the reader with a glimpse into Browning’s life. Introduction by Trekkie Ritchie.
Flush: A Biography
Virginia Woolf
A delightful and immediately successful reconstruction of the life of Flush, Elizabeth Barrett Browning's spaniel, by Virginia Woolf.
Flush: Memórias de um cão
Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf era uma escritora consagrada quando concebeu Flush, em 1931: já tinha publicado o livro de ensaios A Room of One’s One (1928), assim como os romances A viagem (1915), Noite e dia (1919), O quarto de Jacob (1922), Mrs. Dalloway (1925), Passeio ao farol (1927) e Orlando (1928). Mas em 1931, em pleno verão inglês, deparou-se com a figura de um cão inusitadamente vivo e esperto que brotava da correspondência entre os célebres poetas vitorianos Elizabeth Barrett e Robert Browning. "A imagem do cachorro deles me fez rir tanto que não pude deixar de dar-lhe vida", confessou ela a uma amiga para explicar a gênese do seu mais bem-humorado livro.
Deu-lhe não apenas uma vida, mas sentimentos, amores, uma consciência e capacidade de expressão. Publicado pela primeira vez na Inglaterra em outubro de 1933, Flush é a deliciosa e inusitada biografia de um cão. Mostra aventuras e mistérios da existência percebidos através dos olhos do melhor amigo do homem. O personagem central dessa história é um cocker spaniel de origem inglesa, Flush. Em pleno processo de apreensão do mundo e de si mesmo, ele ama tanto os raios de sol quanto um pedaço de rosbife, a companhia de cadelinhas malhadas assim como a companhia de seres humanos, o cheiro de campos abertos tanto quanto ruas cimentadas e o burburinho da cidade. De quebra, Virginia Woolf aproveita para tecer, em estilo deliciosamemente espirituoso e bem-humorado, ácidos comentários sobre a sociedade inglesa e vitoriana e seus valores.
O gênio criativo da autora permitiu que fosse dada à inusitada idéia de uma biografia canina um tratamento virtuosístico. Embora Virginia já fosse uma unanimidade entre a crítica, foi Flush o seu romance com maior êxito entre os leitores, tanto na Inglaterra quanto nos Estados Unidos.
Flush: Uma Biografia
Virginia Woolf
Na primavera de 1935, Virginia Woolf terminara de escrever As ondas, talvez o mais experimental de seus livros. Estava exausta. Para espairecer, lia os dois volumes da correspondência de Elizabeth Barrett Browning, a importante poeta da era vitoriana, mais conhecida no Brasil pelo livro Sonetos da portuguesa (trad. Leonardo Fróes, Rocco). Foi instigada por essa leitura que Virginia resolveu escrever Flush: uma biografia.
O relato de Virginia inicia na época em que Elizabeth conheceu o poeta Robert Browning, com quem, pouco tempo depois, ela se casaria às escondidas, “fugindo” com ele para a Itália. Foi um pouco antes disso que ela recebeu de presente, da também poeta Mary Russell Mitford, um filhote de cocker spaniel chamado Flush, que teria um importante papel em sua vida.
Para surpresa da própria Virginia, o livro foi um sucesso de público. Em compensação, foi praticamente ignorado pela crítica. Ou, pior, quando mereceu alguma atenção, foi apenas para ser classificado como uma peça que representava o fim da carreira literária de uma grande escritora.
O livro continuou relegado ao porão das curiosidades literárias pelas décadas seguintes até ser redimido, no final dos anos 1990, pelo florescente campo acadêmico dos “Estudos animais”. Mas não sem algum reparo: embora alguns lhe atribuam o mérito de certo pioneirismo ao assumir uma visão menos antropocêntrica do mundo, outros criticam-no por perpetuar a tendência antropomorfizante que caracterizaria a literatura em geral. De qualquer maneira, a renovada importância dada ao livro no contexto da chamada “virada animal” significou uma espécie de vingança da divertida paródia biográfica de Virginia.
Diversão ou objeto digno de estudo, pouco importa: o livro é bom de ler. E, graças às ilustrações da jovem artista britânica Katyuli Lloyd, é também bom de ver.
Flush, una biografía
Virginia Woolf
'Flush' es una historia de amor, una celebración de la amistad. Un relato que persigue la belleza de la realidad en cada una de sus particularidades, con una ternura que hoy es tan poco común como necesaria. Es la biografía de un cocker spaniel, fiel amigo de la poeta Elizabeth Barrett, a través de la que Virginia Woolf nos guía por el paisaje de Londres y Florencia de mediados del siglo XIX: olores, texturas y sonidos que conectan al pequeño animal con su humana y que configuran una curiosa variante del género. Un mundo en el que Flush se desenvuelve desde la intimidad de una familia —como la opresiva relación de Elizabeth con su padre— hasta las aberrantes injusticias sociales de la Revolución industrial. Publicada en 1933, fue la novela más popular de Virginia Woolf (vendió casi veinte mil ejemplares en sus primeros seis meses). Sin embargo, el tiempo la relegó injustamente. Ahora les ofrecemos una nueva traducción a cargo de la escritora Constanza Gutiérrez.
Genio y tinta
Virginia Woolf
Entre los grandes colaboradores que tuvo desde su creación en 1902 el Times Literary Supplement, considerado el medio literario más respetable de la época por T. S. Eliot, figuraban nombres como los del propio Eliot y Henry James, pero, según su director, la joya de la corona fue sin duda Virginia Woolf. En estos ensayos extraordinarios, la joven crítica supo arrojar nueva luz sobre escritores conocidos y construir manifiestos provocadores acerca del futuro de la novela; y, gracias a ellos, disfrutó de la ansiada independencia económica. Tras su escrutinio de autores que conformaron su canon literario -como Charlotte Brontë, George Eliot, Elizabeth Barrett y Joseph Conrad- se vislumbra el pensamiento que iluminó su producción narrativa. Pero, sobre todo, se percibe a la Virginia Woolf lectora, para quien, como nos recuerda Ángeles Caso en el prólogo, leer nunca fue un refugio, sino "el acto supremo de insumisión, la mejor manera de hacer frente a la violencia siempre dominante con un gesto callado pero lleno de desafío", y cuyo entusiasmo por la gran literatura sigue inspirándonos hoy más que nunca. Un volumen inédito que refleja el ingenio y la inteligencia de una autora icónica.
Genius and Ink: Virginia Woolf on How to Read
Virginia Woolf
FOREWORD BY ALI SMITH
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY FRANCESCA WADE
Who better to serve as a guide to great books and their authors than Virginia Woolf?
In the early years of its existence, the Times Literary Supplement published some of the finest writers in English: T. S. Eliot, Henry James and E. M. Forster among them. But one of the paper’s defining voices was Virginia Woolf, who produced a string of superb essays between the two World Wars.
The weirdness of Elizabethan plays, the pleasure of revisiting favourite novels, the supreme examples of Charlotte Brontë, George Eliot and Henry James, Thomas Hardy and Joseph Conrad: all are here, in anonymously published pieces, in which may be glimpsed the thinking behind Woolf’s works of fiction and the enquiring, feminist spirit of A Room of One’s Own.
Here is Woolf the critical essayist, offering, at one moment, a playful hypothesis and, at another, a judgement laid down with the authority of a twentieth-century Dr Johnson. Here is Woolf working out precisely what’s great about Hardy, and how Elizabeth Barrett Browning made books a “substitute for living” because she was “forbidden to scamper on the grass”. Above all, here is Virginia Woolf the reader, whose enthusiasm for great literature remains palpable and inspirational today.
Giardini
Virginia Woolf
Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1921, il racconto "Giardini" riproduce come in un dipinto impressionista un seducente gioco di colori: macchie di luce e d’ombra, profondi laghi verdi, ampie distese di fiori gialli, rossi e blu fanno risplendere con le loro sfumature i meravigliosi giardini di Kew Gardens, a Londra, in un assolato giorno di luglio. Tra le aiuole e gli alberi «appiattiti come lame ondeggianti» un uomo passeggia rievocando un momento perduto del proprio passato, mentre intorno a lui altre figure – donne, anziani, bambini – si muovono in un brulichio di vita e ricordi. Questo volume contiene anche: "Nel frutteto", "Lettera a un giovane poeta", "Morte di una falena", nonché il celebre messaggio di addio di Virginia Woolf al marito.
Gita al faro
Virginia Woolf
"Gita al Faro" viene dal ricordo e dal rimpianto di un'infanzia felice, protetta da madre e padre, allietata da fratelli e sorelle, nella casa delle vacanze al mare. Virginia Woolf scrive questa elegia mentre sta leggendo Proust, forse in gara con lui. Progetta il libro in tre parti: alla finestra del salotto, sono passati sette anni, la gita al Faro che finalmente è compiuta dal padre, ormai vecchio, da due figli ormai adolescenti. La madre è morta, e anche i due figli più grandi. Della terribile guerra che intanto è accaduta non parla: è il suo modo di condannarla. Inserisce nel quadro un alter-ego di se stessa, Lily Briscoe, una pittrice che vorrebbe fissare sulla tela la bellezza misteriosa e appassionante della madre, la signora Ramsay, e vi riuscirà solo alla fine, nello stesso momento in cui Virginia Woolf finisce la sua scrittura.
Gli anni
Virginia Woolf
The most popular of Virginia Woolf's novels during her lifetime, The Years is a savage indictment of British society at the turn of the century, edited with an introduction and notes by Jeri Johnson in Penguin Modern Classics.
The Years is the story of three generations of the Pargiter family - their intimacies and estrangements, anxieties and triumphs - mapped out against the bustling rhythms of London's streets during the first decades of the twentieth century. Growing up in a typically Victorian household, the Pargiter children must learn to find their footing in an alternative world, where the rules of etiquette have shifted from the drawing-room to the air-raid shelter. A work of fluid and dazzling lucidity, The Years eschews a simple line of development in favour of a varied and constantly changing style, emphasises the radical discontinuity of personal experiences and historical events. Virginia Woolf's penultimate novel celebrates the resilience of the individual self and, in her dazzlingly fluid and distinctive voice, she confidently paints a broad canvas across time, generation and class.
Hacia el sur: Viajes por España
Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf viajó a España en tres ocasiones y sobre esos viajes dejó por escrito sus impresiones en su diario, cartas y ensayos que publicó en la época. Este libro recopila todos estos escritos, pensamientos y vivencias en el sur de España. Una oportunidad para reencontrarse con una de las mejores escritoras del siglo XX y de redescubrir la tierra que habitamos un siglo después. Las ilustraciones, realizadas por Carmen Bueno, evocan los lugares que visitó, las imágenes y colores que percibió Virginia Woolf en España.

Horas en una biblioteca
Virginia Woolf
La compilación de una colección de ensayos de Virginia Woolf inéditos hasta la fecha en castellano es un acontecimiento editorial de primera magnitud. La importancia de Virginia Woolf como novelista y como precursora del feminismo ha eclipsado su faceta de gran lectora y de crítica literaria fundamental, si bien a lo largo de su vida publicó con asiduidad en el Times Literary Supplement y en otras revistas literarias auténticas joyas ensayísticas por su finura en la apreciación de sus contemporáneos y los clásicos de la lengua inglesa, así como por el pulso firme con el que dialoga simultáneamente con el autor leído y con el lector futuro de sus textos. Esta compilación abarca toda su trayectoria, desde sus primeros desempeños en la crítica literaria y en el ensayo informal, o el esbozo literario, siendo todavía muy joven, hasta sus últimas y rigurosas piezas acerca de autores como Kipling, Melville, Dostoievski o Conrad.
How Should One Read a Book?
Virginia Woolf
In 1926 Virginia Woolf wrote an essay entitled, "How Should One Read a Book?" to deliver as a lecture at a private girls' school in Kent, England. In revised form it appears to have been first published in The Yale Review, October, 1926. Along with other essays, it first appeared in book form in Woolf's The Common Reader: Second Series in 1932.
Il lettore comune
Virginia Woolf
Una raccolta fondamentale in cui ci si interroga sul compito del lettore, dello scrittore, del recensore e del critico. Il lettore comune – uscito nel 1925 e nel 1932 in due volumi, qui riuniti – raccoglie articoli firmati dalla grande autrice e apparsi su giornali come «The Times Literary Supplement», «The Nation», «The New Statesman» insieme a materiali inediti. Con tutta la sua potenza immaginativa e la vivacità della scrittura – marchi di fabbrica del suo genio – Woolf riuscì a condensare la propria vasta cultura e a rivolgersi al “lettore comune” muovendosi nel tempo e nello spazio tra i grandi della letteratura: dall’Inghilterra medievale alla Russia degli zar, da Jane Austen a Joseph Conrad, da Michel de Montaigne a George Eliot. Un contributo prezioso per chi non vuole smettere di conoscere, approfondire e, soprattutto, condividere un principio valido ieri come oggi: il lettore comune «legge per piacere personale, non per impartire delle lezioni o per correggere le opinioni altrui».
Jacob's Room
Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf's first original and distinguished work, Jacob's Room is the story of a sensitive young man named Jacob Flanders. The life story, character and friends of Jacob are presented in a series for separate scenes and moments from his childhood, through college at Cambridge, love affairs in London, and travels in Greece, to his death in the war. Jacob's Room established Virginia Woolf's reputation as a highly poetic and symbolic writer who places emphasis not on plot or action but on the psychological realm of occupied by her characters.
Jacob's Room & The Waves: Two Complete Novels
Virginia Woolf
The story of a man’s life from a day in his childhood to the day of his death. “Jacob’s Room...comes as a tremendous surprise. The impossible has occurred. The style closely resembles that of Kew Gardens....The break with Night and Day and even with The Voyage Out is complete. A new type of fiction has swum into view” (E. M. Forster).
'I am writing to a rhythm and not to a plot', Virginia Woolf stated of her eighth novel, The Waves. Widely regarded as one of her greatest and most original works, it conveys the rhythms of life in synchrony with the cycle of nature and the passage of time. Six children - Bernard, Susan, Rhoda, Neville, Jinny and Louis - meet in a garden close to the sea, their voices sounding over the constant echo of the waves that roll back and forth from the shore. The subsequent continuity of these six main characters, as they develop from childhood to maturity and follow different passions and ambitions, is interspersed with interludes from the timeless and unifying chorus of nature. In pure stream-of-consciousness style, Woolf presents a cross-section of multiple yet parallel lives, each marked by the disintegrating force of a mutual tragedy. The Waves is her searching exploration of individual and collective identity, and the observations and emotions of life, from the simplicity and surging optimism of youth to the vacancy and despair of middle-age.
Jane Austen (Italian Edition)
Virginia Woolf
Celebre e lucida critica letteraria, Virginia Woolf ha analizzato le opere e il pensiero di molti scrittori e scrittrici suoi predecessori. Tra questi, si è soffermata in particolare sui romanzi di Jane Austen, sui loro pregi e sui loro difetti, tenendo conto del clima sociale in cui erano stati concepiti, e distanziandosi dalla critica contemporanea nel comprenderne la portata rivoluzionaria. Le strade di queste due grandissime scrittrici si sono intrecciate nella prosa critica di Woolf più volte, sempre in maniera originale e interessante, e di certo nelle sue opere è possibile ritrovare alcuni debiti rispetto agli scritti di Austen. Tra i suoi più famosi interventi dedicati all’autrice di Orgoglio e pregiudizio vengono qui raccolti quello all’interno di The Common Reader e le numerose pagine contenute in Una stanza tutta per sé, oltre a quelle inserite in Books and Portraits.

Kendine Ait Bir Oda
Virginia Woolf
"Bütün bu yüzyıllar boyunca kadınlar, erkeği olduğundan iki kat büyük gösteren bir ayna görevi gördüler, büyülü bir aynaydı bu ve müthiş bir yansıtma gücü vardı. Böyle bir güç olmasaydı dünya hâlâ bataklık ve balta girmemiş ormanlardan ibaret olurdu. Savaşlarda zafer kazanıldığı duyulmazdı... Çar ve Kayzer ne taç giyerler, ne de tahttan inerlerdi. Uygar toplumlarda hangi işe yararlarsa yarasınlar, bütün şiddet ya da kahramanlık eylemlerinde aynalar gereklidir. İşte bu yüzden Napoléon da Mussolini de kadınların erkeklerden aşağı olduğunda bu kadar ısrarcıdırlar, eğer onlar aşağıda olmasalardı kendileri büyüyemezlerdi."
Kendine Ait Bir Oda, Virginia Woolf'un 1928 yılında kapılarını kadınlara yeni yeni açmakta olan Cambridge Üniversitesi'ndeki kız öğrencilere hitaben yaptığı bir konuşması üzerine şekillenmiştir. İngiltere'de kadınların seçme ve seçilme hakkını elde etmelerinden bir yıl sonra yayımlanan kitap o tarihten günümüze feminizm tartışmalarının locus classicus'u olageldi. Jane Austen ve Charlotte Brontë'den, kadınların niçin bir Savaş ve Barış yazamadıklarına; Shakespeare'in hayali kız kardeşinden bugün de tartışılmaya devam eden kadının yoksulluğu ve namusu başlıklarına, hatta yaratıcılığın doğasına kadar uzanan geniş bir yelpazede kalemini özgürce oynatan Woolf, kadınlara edebiyat alanında bir çıkış yolu gösteriyor.
"Bir kadın eğer kurmaca yazacaksa, parası ve kendine ait bir odası olmalıdır," diyen Virginia Woolf'un sesi, aradan geçen sekseni aşkın yıla rağmen gücünü ve etkinliğini koruyor.
Kew Gardens
Virginia Woolf
In 1927, at The Hogarth Press, Virginia Woolf produced and published a limited edition of what was to become one of her best-loved stories. The book's jacket design and page illustrations were by her sister, artist Vanessa Bell.
More than sixty years later, The Hogarth Press at Chatto & Windus has published a lovely facsimile of that prized edition of 'Kew Gardens'.
The lush and haunting story circles around Kew Gardens one hot day in July, as various odd and interesting couples walk by and talk, exchanging words but letting thoughts and memories float languorously above the glossy leaves and exotic blooms, while at their feet, a determined snail makes its way slowly across a mountainous flower bed.
Elegantly produced, a precise replica of that 1927 special edition, with Vanessa Bell's jacket and decorative drawings, this is a rare treat for Bloomsbury devotees and all who love beautiful books.
Killing the Angel in the House
Virginia Woolf
Classics of feminist consciousness.
Lappin and Lapinova
Virginia Woolf
"And before they went to bed that night it was all settled. He was King Lappin; she was Queen Lapinova. They were the opposite of each other; he was bold and determined; she wary and undependable. He ruled over the busy world of rabbits; her world was a desolate, mysterious place, which she ranged mostly by moonlight. All the same, their territories touched; they were King and Queen."
Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) is considered one of the 20th century's foremost British authors and was a leading figure in the modernist movement. Her influence on English literature is still apparent seventy-five years after her death. Woolf's writing spans novels, short stories and essays and she is most renowned for works such as Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927) and Orlando (1928), not to mention her revolutionary feminist essay A Room of One's Own (1929).
Lappin and Lapinova was originally published in Harper's Bazaar in 1938. It was subsequently included in the collection A Haunted House and Other Stories which was published in 1944; three years after Woolf's death.

La señora Dalloway
Virginia Woolf
Figura destacada del llamado «Grupo de Bloomsbury», Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) fue autora de una serie de relatos que la sitúan en la vanguardia del movimiento renovador de las técnicas narrativas que buscó en la profundización del análisis de la conciencia el reflejo de una realidad más auténtica y esencial. Fue en la amalgama de sentimientos, pensamientos y emociones que es la subjetividad donde Woolf encontró el material apropiado para una narrativa que contribuyó a forjar la sensibilidad contemporánea. Publicada en 1925, La señora Dalloway relata un día en la vida de una mujer de la clase alta londinense desde el punto de vista de una conciencia que experimenta con plena intensidad cada instante vivido, en el que se condensan el pasado, el entorno y el presente.
La senyora Dalloway
Virginia Woolf
Londres, un dia de juny de 1923. La senyora Clarissa Dalloway, instal·lada en la cinquantena, esposa d’un important membre del parlament britànic, mare d’una filla adolescent i amfitriona perfecta, està embarcada en l’organització d’una festa que ha de celebrar a la tarda. Durant els preparatius va amunt i avall de la capital anglesa, es troba amb amics i coneguts, i es replanteja fets del seu passat: la relació amb un antic pretendent, amb una amiga afectuosa... Al llarg de la mateixa jornada, però lluny de la laboriositat festiva de la senyora Dalloway, un veterà de la Primera Guerra Mundial, Septimus Warren Smith, intenta gestionar com pot els horrors al·lucinatoris que el turmenten i la marginació social en què ha caigut.Partint d’aquestes dues trames antagòniques, puntejades per flaixbacs i que només s’uneixen a la fi d’una manera colpidora i subtil, Virginia Woolf construeix una de les novel·les més emblemàtiques del modernisme anglès. Gràcies a l’ús magistral, gairebé pioner, de les tècniques narratives més dispars i innovadores –el monòleg interior, la polifonia, el detallisme líric–, Woolf dóna una visió exhaustiva de la realitat a la vegada que explora sagaçment el món interior dels seus personatges. El resultat és una novel·la impecable, plena de virtuosisme, de sensibilitat i d’intel·ligència.Virginia Woolf, (Londres,1882-1941)Va tenir sempre clar que volia dedicar-se a la literatura. Des de ben d’hora va poder alimentar la seva vocació gràcies a un accés sense restriccions a la biblioteca del seu pare. Membre destacada del mític Grup de Bloomsbury, on es vivia un ambient de llibertat intel·lectual, de progressisme moral i d’experimentació estètica inaudit en l’Anglaterra de l’època, Woolf és considerada una de les autores més influents de la modernitat literària. El seu assaig Una habitació pròpia va suposar un punt d’inflexió per a la causa feminista. La lectura renovadora de la tradició, les innovacions formals i la riquesa de tècniques que presenten les seves novel·les (Al far, Orlando, La senyora Dalloway, entre altres) van ser determinants en l’evolució del gènere durant el segle XX. Víctima de severes crisis nervioses des de l’adolescència, va suicidar-se el 1941.
La signora Dalloway
Virginia Woolf
Un mercoledì di metà giugno del 1923, Clarissa Dalloway, moglie di un deputato conservatore alla Camera dei Lords, esce per comprare dei fiori per la festa, che la sera riunirà nella sua casa una variopinta galleria di personaggi. Tra gli altri: Peter Walsh, l'amante respinto, appena tornato dall'India, e l'amica tanto amata, più di ogni uomo, Sally Seton. Per le strade di Londra passeggia anche Septimus Warren Smith, il deuteragonista del romanzo. Nulla sembra legare i due, se non la città di Londra. Clarissa ha cinquant'anni, è ricca. Septimus ne ha appena trenta, è povero e traumatizzato dall'esperienza feroce e violenta della guerra, in cui ha perduto non solo l'amico Evans, ma ogni pace. Eppure i due, senza mai incontrarsi, semplicemente sfiorando gli stessi luoghi, comunicano. Con sapienza straordinaria Virginia Woolf, giunta con questo al suo quarto romanzo, tesse il filo sottile di corrispondenze, echi, emozioni che creano un'opera di grande intensità. Dove un uomo e una donna sconosciuti l'uno all'altra sono accomunati dallo stesso amore e terrore della vita, che li porterà, nell'accettazione (femminile) o nel rifiuto (maschile), ad affermarne comunque l'inestimabile valore.

Adeline Virginia Woolf (Stephen de soltera; Londres, 25 de enero de 1882 – Lewes, Sussex, 28 de marzo de 1941) fue una novelista, ensayista, escritora de cartas, editora, feminista y escritora de cuentos británica, considerada como una de las más destacadas figuras del modernismo literario del siglo XX.
La stanza di Jacob
Virginia Woolf
Romanzo sperimentale, biografia, romanzo di formazione, elegia, meditazione sul flusso incessante della vita, soprattutto ricerca di un disegno che ricomponga l'armonia sottesa all'apparente caos del reale, La stanza di Jacob è il primo, grande capolavoro di Virginia Woolf, che con questo libro entra a buon diritto tra i grandi scrittori novecenteschi, creando una nuova forma narrativa che si costruisce su tracce, allusioni, simboli, ma resta tuttavia concreta, ancorata all'esperienza, al tempo stesso, secondo una metafora della stessa autrice, «granito e arcobaleno». Ispirato alla figura dell'amato fratello prematuramente scomparso, La stanza di Jacob disegna, attraverso sensazioni, emozioni, memorie, illuminazioni epifaniche, non soltanto un personaggio indimenticabile, ma un intero mondo, e regala, al lettore, le scoperte e l'incanto di una nuova visione.
La torre inclinada
Virginia Woolf
La Traversée des apparences
Virginia Woolf
Véhément, ironique, prémonitoire, le premier roman de Virginia Woolf. Le début de sa traversée. L'éclosion de sa voix. L'obsession, déjà, de l'eau, de la mort, du désir inapaisé. "Etre précipitée dans la mer, baignée, ballottée par les eaux, promenée parmi les racines du monde..." Est-ce de Rachel, l'héroïne de ce "voyage" qu'il s'agit, ou bien de Virginia ?
Le tre ghinee
Virginia Woolf
Le risposte a tre lettere immaginarie che contengono una richiesta di denaro per tre cause: la prevenzione della guerra, un'università femminile e un fondo per le donne che vogliono lavorare. Nelle immaginarie risposte si dimostra come alla radice di tutto ci sia il potere garantito dalla violenza.
In "Le tre ghinee", scritto nell'inverno 1937-38 mentre la guerra stava per diventare una dolorosa realtà, Virginia Woolf immagina di ricevere tre lettere che contengono una richiesta in denaro per tre cause, la prevenzione della guerra, una università femminile e un'assistenza alle donne che vogliono esercitare una professione. Nelle immaginarie risposte l'autrice dimostra come le tre cause siano identiche e inseparabili; come alla radice di tutto ci sia il potere garantito dalla violenza, uno stesso meccanismo che produce il patriarcato e il fascismo, che fa l'uomo protagonista di un contesto sociale e isola la donna nella sfera privata, alienando entrambi. Nell'aprile 1938, alla fine di questo lavoro, Virginia Woolf scrisse nel suo diario: "Hitler dunque sta accarezzando i suoi spinosi baffetti. L'intero mondo trema: e il mio libro sarà forse come una farfalla sopra un falò consumato in meno di un secondo".
Liberty
Virginia Woolf
Why should one half be free to live, while the other is doomed to watch silently from the sidelines? In this visionary collection, Virginia Woolf leads us on a transformative journey through the liberating powers of the mind. From an exploration of why women were barred from writing and under what conditions they might break free, to the solace derived from haunting London's streets, these essays, and stories present Woolf at her most impassioned, rendering the pursuit of liberty one of life's most poetic adventures. Selected from the books A Room of One's Own, The Waves, and Street Haunting and Other Essays by Virginia Woolf.
Listy miłosne
Virginia Woolf
Zbiór korespondencji dokumentującej związek dwóch kobiet – pisarek Virginii Woolf i Vity Sackville-West, poprzedzony wstępem Alison Bechdel, amerykańskiej autorki znakomitych powieści graficznych Fun Home, Jesteś moją matką? i Sekret nadludzkiej siły.
Na przyjęciu w 1922 roku Virginia Woolf poznała znaną arystokratkę, powieściopisarkę, poetkę – i safistkę – Vitę Sackville-West. Tego dnia zapisała w dzienniku, że nie myślała zbyt wiele o rozmowie z Vitą, ale bardzo wysoko oceniła jej zgrabne nogi. Miał to być początek prawie dwudziestu lat flirtu, przyjaźni i współpracy literackiej. Ich korespondencja zakończyła się dopiero wraz z tragiczną śmiercią Virginii w 1941 roku.
Intymne i żartobliwe sekretne listy i wpisy w pamiętnikach pozwalają poznać nieustannie zmieniające się wzajemne uczucia Vity i Virginii, podsłuchać romans, który zainspirował Woolf do napisania jej najbardziej wyjątkowej powieści, Orlando, oraz rzucić okiem na niezwykłe życie tych kobiet i czasy, w jakich tworzyły. Zaglądamy za kulisy związku, który – nawet sto lat później – wciąż wydaje się bardzo burzliwy i odważny.
Los artistas y la política
Virginia Woolf
Catorce textos que pueden leerse como un recorrido panorámico por el costado más agudo de esta emblemática escritora: su posición política. Reflexiona sobre las grandes temas de la literatura, situándose en los intersticios, los márgenes, la observación certera o la asociación inesperada.
La relación entre los escritores y la contingencia; la exclusión de la figura femenina en el ámbito laboral e intelectual; la precarización de los medios culturales anclados a la escena literaria o reflexiones sobre el arte de la biografía y el oficio de las palabras, deambulan en este libro que confirma la ineludible vigencia que la escritura de Woolf posee en la actualidad.
Love Letters: Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West
Virginia Woolf
'I am reduced to a thing that wants Virginia. I composed a beautiful letter to you in the sleepless nightmare hours of the night, and it has all gone. I just miss you...'
At a dinner party in 1922, Virginia Woolf met the renowned author, aristocrat - and sapphist - Vita Sackville-West. Virginia wrote in her diary that she didn't think much of Vita's conversation, but she did think very highly of her legs. It was to be the start of almost twenty years of flirtation, friendship, and literary collaboration. Their correspondence ended only with Virginia's tragic death in 1941.
Intimate and playful, these selected letters and diary entries allow us to hear these women's constantly changing feelings for each other in their own words. Eavesdrop on the affair that inspired Virginia to write her most fantastical novel, Orlando, and glimpse into their extraordinary lives: from Vita's travels across the globe, to Virginia's parties with the Bloomsbury set; from their shared love of dogs and nature, to their grief at the beginning of the Second World War. Discover a relationship that - even a hundred years later - feels radical and relatable.
WITH AN ORIGINAL INTRODUCTION FROM ALISON BECHDEL, AUTHOR OF FUN HOME AND CREATOR OF THE BECHDEL TEST.
Lunes o martes
Virginia Woolf
Lunes o Martes es el único libro de cuentos que Virginia Woolf publicó en vida y es un buen puerto de entrada a su obra. En estos cuentos y bosquejos existe una narrativa que experimenta con formas clásicas, a la vez que es un recordatorio de que un cuento no solo «cuenta una historia», sino que es un extracto de la realidad. Y que esa realidad oscila entre un mundo interior y el mundo exterior, y, por lo tanto, no está hecha solo de palabras, de tramas, y de personajes principales y secundarios; sino también de una serie de momentos tan reales como oníricos, e incluso temporalmente más extensos de lo que un lunes o martes cualquiera pueden ofrecernos.
Matar al ángel del hogar
Virginia Woolf
En los dos textos que componen este volumen —«Las mujeres y la narrativa de ficción», un ensayo escrito en 1929; y «Profesiones para mujeres», una conferencia pronunciada en 1931— Virginia Woolf carga, implícita o explícitamente, contra el ideal femenino victoriano encarnado en la figura del «Ángel del Hogar» que representa, para ella, el principal obstáculo al que deben enfrentarse aquellas mujeres que desean abrirse camino en una profesión que requiere de tanta individualidad y capacidad critica como es la literatura.
Luna Miguel ofrece en su maravilloso prólogo una lectura contemporánea de los debates abiertos en sus textos por Virginia Woolf al tiempo que señala la actualidad y la pertinencia de los mismos.

Między aktami
Virginia Woolf
Ostatnia powieść Virginii Woolf
Jest rok 1939. Letni dzień na wsi w samym środku Anglii. Mieszkańcy domu w Pointz Hall oraz ich goście celebrują codzienne salonowe rytuały. W tym samym czasie na pobliskiej łące wystawiane jest doroczne widowisko w amatorskiej obsadzie. W obu miejscach bohaterowie odgrywają te same role. Na scenę wchodzą: kobieta i mężczyzna, miłość i nienawiść, młodość i starość. Tak jak przed wiekami, tak samo i teraz. A odwieczną harmonię pomaga odnaleźć sztuka.
Między aktami to ostatnia powieść Virginii Woolf. Pisana w trakcie wojny, pomiędzy kolejnymi bombardowaniami Londynu, została ukończona na krótko przed samobójczą śmiercią autorki. Paradoksalnie jedna z najbardziej lirycznych książek Woolf.
Modern Classics Orlando a Biography (Penguin Modern Classics)
Virginia Woolf
Written for her lover Vita Sackville-West, Orlando is Woolf’s playfully subversive take on a biography, here tracing the fantastical life of Orlando. As the novel spans centuries and continents, gender and identity, we follow Orlando’s adventures in love – as he changes from a lord in the Elizabethan court to a lady in 1920s London.
First published in 1928, this tale of unrivalled imagination and wit quickly became the most famous work of women’s fiction. Sexuality, destiny, independence and desire all come to the fore in this highly influential novel that heralded a new era in women’s writing.
Modern Classics Selected Short Stories (Penguin Modern Classics)
Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf tested the boundaries of fiction in these short stories, developing a new language of sensation, feeling and thought, and recreating in words the 'swarm and confusion of life'. Defying categorization, the stories range from the more traditional narrative style of Solid Objects through the fragile impressionism of Kew Gardens to the abstract exploration of consciousness in The Mark on the Wall.
Momenti di essere e altri racconti
Virginia Woolf
Nel 1927 la Woolf scriveva sul suo diario: "Quante piccole storie mi si affacciano alla mente! Per esempio: Ethel Sands che non apre le sue lettere. E ciò che questo implica. Si potrebbe scrivere un libro fatto di scene brevi ma significative. Lei che non apre le sue lettere". Tali momenti evanescenti (la vita efficacemente compressa nei suoi attimi più intensi) determinano il carattere, e soprattutto la struttura dei racconti. Rivelano ciò che resta quando "l'avvizzita scorza del giorno (è stata) gettata... nella siepe". La vita è come la raccolta di schizzi di un artista, o un album di fotografie, ogni attimo guizza verso l'altro.
Momenti di essere: Scritti autobiografici
Virginia Woolf
Pubblicati postumi, questi scritti autobiografici di Virginia Woolf, composti in un arco di quasi quarant'anni, sono illuminanti per la comprensione della sua tematica e della sua costante ricerca di definire gli infiniti piani sovrapposti della realtà. Né narrativa né biografia, queste pagine sono il tentativo di tracciare le linee di uno sviluppo interiore: si delineano i rapporti intensi e quasi ossessivi con la madre amata e perduta, il sentimento ambivalente verso la dominante figura paterna, l'ambiguo comportamento del fratellastro George, l'affetto sicuro venato di gelosia per la sorella Vanessa, il delicato passaggio dall'ipocrisia vittoriana alla programmatica sincerità dei giovani intellettuali di Bloomsbury. Sensazioni, ricordi, personaggi che faranno da sfondo a tutte le opere della Woolf.
Queste memorie, che per i loro innegabili meriti intrinseci sono in grado di brillare di luce propria, non potranno che rendere più profonda e più ricca l'esperienza della lettura dei romanzi e dei racconti di Virginia Woolf, in quanto forniscono un solido retroterra nel contesto della sua vita.
Moments of Being: A Collection of Autobiographical Writing
Virginia Woolf
Moments of Being contains Virginia Woolf's only autobiographical writing. In "Reminiscences," the first of five pieces, she focuses on the death of her mother, "the greatest disaster that could happen," and its effect on her father, the demanding Victorian patriarch. Three of the papers were composed to be read to the Memoir Club, a postwar regrouping of Bloomsbury, which exacted absolute candor of its members.
"A Sketch of the Past" is the longest and most significant of the pieces, giving an account of Virginia Woolf's early years in the family household at 22 Hyde Park Gate. A recently discovered manuscript belonging to this memoir has provided material that further illuminates her relationship to her father, Leslie Stephen, who played a crucial role in her development as an individual and as a writer.
Monday or Tuesday
Virginia Woolf
One of the most distinguished critics and innovative authors of the twentieth century, Virginia Woolf published two novels before this collection appeared in 1921. However, it was these early stories that first earned her a reputation as a writer with "the liveliest imagination and most delicate style of her time." Influenced by Joyce, Proust, and the theories of William James, Bergson, and Freud, she strove to write a new fiction that emphasized the continuous flow of consciousness, time's passage as both a series of sequential moments and a longer flow of years and centuries, and the essential indefinability of character.Readers can discover these and other aspects of her influential style in the eight stories collected here, among them a delightful, feminist put-down of the male intellect in "A Society" and a brilliant and sensitive portrayal of nature in "Kew Gardens." Also included are "An Unwritten Novel," "The String Quartet," "A Haunted House," "Blue & Green," "The Mark on the Wall," and the title story.In recent years, Woolf's fiction, feminism, and high-minded sensibilities have earned her an ever-growing audience of readers. This splendid collection offers those readers not only the inestimable pleasures of the stories themselves, but an excellent entrée into the larger body of Woolf's work.
Mot fyren
Virginia Woolf
Mrs Ramsay är värdinnan i familjens sommarvilla på ön Skye. Deras lille son James, vars högsta önskan är att åka på utflykt till fyren, slängs mellan hopp och besvikelse när än den ena, än den andra ger sin väderleksrapport för morgondagen. Mr Ramsay, en analytisk professor, är skeptisk. Runt värdparet kretsar bekanta på besök i sommarparadiset, däribland Lily Briscoe, en ung konstnärinna som förevigar människorna runt omkring henne genom sin pensel.
Det blir dock ingen utflykt, första världskriget kommer emellan, och först tio år senare återvänder familjen Ramsay till ön och den stundande båtutflykten – ut mot fyren.
Mot fyren är ett porträtt i miniatyr av en familj, med det är också ett porträtt av livet självt, om vad tiden och historien gör med människors drömmar och förhoppningar, och en hyllning till det som består.
Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Brown
Virginia Woolf
The essay was written in 1923, and in 1924 it was read to the Heretics, Cambridge. The essay is a polemical piece that attempts to go beyond Arnold Bennett’s thesis that character is the essence of novel writing, and his too easy conclusion as to why the young writers have failed to create credible characters. Woolf chooses the year 1910 as the year in which a discernible shift in human relations takes place. This point is important to her because to understand what “real” character is, one has to understand the large context—the British society. In this light, she chooses Mrs. Brown as a metaphor for human nature. Her analysis highlights the shortcomings of previous generations of writers; in particular the Edwardians and the Georgians, concluding that they also failed to create lasting characters. In this regard, history seems to be on Virginia Woolf’s side: while everyone remembers Mrs. Dalloway, no one remembers a single character created by either the Edwardians or the Georgians. What readers remember instead are the physical settings they created with old tools. To facilitate the flow of ideas, this version of the essay includes section headings and bold typography. The essay is presented, otherwise, as it was first published.
Mrs. Dalloway
Virginia Woolf
Heralded as Virginia Woolf's greatest novel, this is a vivid portrait of a single day in a woman's life. When we meet her, Mrs. Clarissa Dalloway is preoccupied with the last-minute details of party preparation while in her mind she is something much more than a perfect society hostess. As she readies her house, she is flooded with remembrances of faraway times. 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.

Mrs Dalloway's Party: A Short Story Sequence
Virginia Woolf
A beautifully jacketed collection of seven Virginia Woolf short stories, all written around the theme of parties and brought back into print for the first time in forty years.
Mrs Dalloway's Party is a forgotten classic, and an enchanting piece of work by one of our most acclaimed twentieth century writers. A sequence of seven short stories that were written by Woolf in the same period as Mrs Dalloway -- the opening story in the collection was originally intended to be the first chapter of the novel - they beautifully showcase the author's fascination with parties and with all the emotions and anxieties which surround these social occasions. In 'The New Dress' a nervous young woman frets that her fellow guests are laughing at her yellow silk dress while 'Together and Apart' explores what happens to two people meeting for the first time in Clarissa Dalloway's drawing room.
In this collection of stories Virginia Woolf created a microcosm of society out of the excitement, the fluctuations of mood and temper and the heightened emotions of the party.
Mrs. Dalloway: The Virginia Woolf Library Authorized Edition
Virginia Woolf
The authorized, original edition of Virginia Woolf’s masterpiece and one of the most “moving, revolutionary artworks of the twentieth century” (Michael Cunningham), with a foreword by Maureen Howard. 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 and reshaped English literature as we know it. “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
Mrs Dalloway (Wordsworth Collector's Editions)

Virginia Woolf's masterly novel, in which she perfected the interior monologue, brings past, present, and future together on one momentous day in June 1923.
Mulheres e ficção
Virginia Woolf
Uma coletânea precisa, com ensaios emblemáticos de uma das maiores personalidades do mundo dos livros.
Hoje considerada uma das maiores escritoras do século XX, Virginia Woolf foi uma grande romancista e ensaísta, bem como figura de destaque na história da literatura como feminista e modernista. Ela se preocupava em particular com a experiência das mulheres, não apenas nos romances, mas também nos ensaios. Prova disso é esta pequena coletânea que trata do papel das mulheres na ficção.
Com ensaios que versam sobre a autora Jane Austen, as personagens Jane Eyre e Catherine Earnshaw (de O morro dos ventos uivantes) e vários outros temas, Woolf explora o lugar que as mulheres ocuparam e ainda podem ocupar na literatura.
Outros ensaios aqui reunidos falam também da ficção moderna, do ponto de vista do leitor comum, das diferentes formas de se ler um livro e de diversos temas caros a todos os interessados por literatura.
Natt och dag
Virginia Woolf
Umgängeslivet bland släkt och vänner i Londonsocieteten roar inte längre Katharine Hilbery. Hon vill göra uppror, men alla vägar verkar förbjudna. Inte ens den förestående förlovningen med litteratören William Rodney tycks kunna rubba de invanda mönstren.
En dag kommer den unge juristen Ralph Denham på besök i familjen. Katharine och Ralph känner en ömsesidig attraktion, men mellan dem gapar en social avgrund.
Natt och dag är Virginia Woolfs andra roman och utkom på originalspråket redan 1919. Denna mästerliga skildring av Londons intellektuella kretsar före första världskrigets utbrott, har först nu fått en svensk översättning av Maria Ekman.
Här finns fröet till det som komma skall, och här finns som grundval den skarpa intelligens, den stora nervkänslighet och den protest mot social arrogans som från första stund utmärker författaren
Night and Day
Virginia Woolf
Katharine Hilbery is beautiful and privileged, but uncertain of her future. She must choose between becoming engaged to the oddly prosaic poet William Rodney, and her dangerous attraction to the passionate Ralph Denham. As she struggles to decide, the lives of two other women - women's rights activist Mary Datchet and Katharine's mother, Margaret, struggling to weave together the documents, events and memories of her own father's life into a biography - impinge on hers with unexpected and intriguing consequences. Virginia Woolf's delicate second novel is both a love story and a social comedy, yet it also subtly undermines these traditions, questioning a woman's role and the very nature of experience.
Noite e dia
Virginia Woolf
Noite e Dia, segundo romance de Virginia Woolf, foi publicado em 1919, quando ela estava com 37 a nos. Experimentalista por excelência, o livro atira o leitor dentro de uma sociedade, seus costumes, sua linguagem, num jogo de poder e contestação.Trata-se de uma trama de amor entre Katherine Hilbery e Ralph Denham advogado, intelectual e burguês. O enredo se desenrola num estilo ao mesmo tempo sólido e puro, e segue uma linhagem da tradição inglesa de grandes novelistas como Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë e George Eliot.Os personagens são puro deleite, num romance belo e elegante em que Virginia Woolf experimenta o tradicional. A magnífica tradução de Raul de Sá Barbosa, em Noite e Dia, garante à sua edição nacional a qualidade e prestígio a altura de toda obra da incomparável autora.
O cameră doar a ei
Virginia Woolf
Eseul „O cameră doar a ei” reprezintă una dintre cele mai valoroase contribuții la literatura feministă din secoluln XX. A fost publicat inițial în 1929 și constituie o argumentare spumoasă, urbană și convingătoare împotriva subminării intelectuale a femeii, cu precădere a scriitoarelor.
Oh, to Be a Painter! (ekphrasis)
Virginia Woolf
The twentieth volume in the renowned ekphrasis series, this collection of Virginia Woolf’s writings on the visual arts offers a whole new perspective on the revolutionary author.
Despite wide interest in Woolf’s writings, and in the artists and art critics in her Bloomsbury circle, there is no accessible edition or selection of essays dedicated to her writings on art. This volume collects her longest essay on painting, “Walter A Conversation” (1934), alongside shorter essays and reviews, including “Pictures and Portraits” (1920) and “Pictures” (1925).
These formally inventive texts reveal the centrality of the visual arts to Woolf’s writing and vision. They show her engaging with contemporary debates about modern art and are innovative in their treatment of ideas about color and form, including in response to the work of her sister, the painter Vanessa Bell, who designed many of her book covers and jackets. In these essays and reviews, Woolf illuminates the complex and interdependent relationship between the artist and society, and reveals her own shifting perspectives during decades of social and political change. She also provides sharp and astute commentary on specific works of art and on the relationship between art and writing.
An introduction by Claudia Tobin situates the essays within their cultural contexts.
On Being Ill
Virginia Woolf
In this poignant and humorous work, Virginia Woolf observes that though illness is part of every human being's experience, it has never been the subject of literature—like the more acceptable subjects of war and love. We cannot quote Shakespeare to describe a headache. We must, Woolf says, invent language to describe pain. And though illness enhances our perceptions, she observes that it reduces self-consciousness; it is "the great confessional." Woolf discusses the cultural taboos associated with illness and explores how illness changes the way we read. Poems clarify and astonish, Shakespeare exudes new brilliance, and so does melodramatic fiction!
On Being Ill was published as an individual volume by Hogarth Press in 1930. While other Woolf essays, such as A Room of One's Own and Three Guineas, were first published by Hogarth as individual volumes and have since been widely available, On Being Ill has been overlooked. The Paris Press edition features original cover art by Woolf's sister, the painter Vanessa Bell. Hermione Lee's Introduction discusses this extraordinary work, and explores Woolf's revelations about poetry, language, and illness.
On Being Ill with Notes from Sick Rooms
Virginia Woolf
"By turns lyrical, self-mocking, and outlandish, Woolf's meditation on the perils and privileges of the sickbed lampoons the loneliness that makes one 'glad of a kick from a housemaid.' When Woolf imagines beauty in a frozen-over garden . . . it seems less a triumph of nature than of art."—The New Yorker
"Brilliant and beautiful."—Francine Prose, Bookforum
"[A] long-neglected reverie on illness . . . reprinted by the sterling Paris Press. This is a brilliant and odd book, charged with restrained emotion and sudden humor."—Los Angeles Times Book Review
"The resurrection of this forgotten work on illness is a boon indeed. . . . This is Woolf at her spangled best."—Booklist
In this poignant and humorous book, Virginia Woolf observes that no human being is spared toothaches, colds, and the flu. Yet illness—transformative and as common as love and war—is rarely the subject of polite conversation, let alone literature. This paperback facsimile of the 1930 Hogarth Press edition, with Hermione Lee's introduction to Woolf's life, work, and On Being Ill, is ideal for book groups, general readers, students, caregivers, and of course anyone suffering from a cold or more serious illness.
Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) is among the greatest literary geniuses of the twentieth century. Her groundbreaking books include Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and A Room of One's Own.
Hermione Lee is the renowned author of Virginia Woolf. Her other best-selling biographies include Edith Wharton, Willa Cather, and Philip Roth. She is president of Wolfson College, University of Oxford, England.
On Reading, Writing and Living with Books (Found on the Shelves)
Virginia Woolf

On Reading, Writing and Living with Books is part of 'Found on the Shelves', published with The London Library. The books in this series have been chosen to give a fascinating insight into the treasures that can be found while browsing in The London Library. Now celebrating its 175th anniversary, with over 17 miles of shelving and more than a million books, The London Library has become an unrivalled archive of the modes, manners and thoughts of each generation which has helped to form it.
O quarto de Jacob
Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf's first original and distinguished work, Jacob's Room is the story of a sensitive young man named Jacob Flanders. The life story, character and friends of Jacob are presented in a series for separate scenes and moments from his childhood, through college at Cambridge, love affairs in London, and travels in Greece, to his death in the war. Jacob's Room established Virginia Woolf's reputation as a highly poetic and symbolic writer who places emphasis not on plot or action but on the psychological realm of occupied by her characters.
Orlando
Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf's Orlando 'The longest and most charming love letter in literature', playfully constructs the figure of Orlando as the fictional embodiment of Woolf's close friend and lover, Vita Sackville-West. Spanning three centuries, the novel opens as Orlando, a young nobleman in Elizabeth's England, awaits a visit from the Queen and traces his experience with first love as England under James I lies locked in the embrace of the Great Frost. At the midpoint of the novel, Orlando, now an ambassador in Constantinople, awakes to find that he is now a woman, and the novel indulges in farce and irony to consider the roles of women in the 18th and 19th centuries. As the novel ends in 1928, a year consonant with full suffrage for women. Orlando, now a wife and mother, stands poised at the brink of a future that holds new hope and promise for women.
Orlando: A Biography
Virginia Woolf
'Orlando' is a historical fantasy in which the eponymous hero remains alive for over three centuries, but ages physically just 36 years. Over this huge span of time, Orlando has many strange adventures, chief among them being his sex-change from a man to a woman. Woolf uses this bizarre and intriguing notion to examine many aspects of human existence: the difference between fact and imagination; the utility of poetry and art; how humans conform to whatever civilization of group they find themselves in; and (a central theme of the book) the gender roles which society imposes so unjustly upon men and women, when - in Woolf's view - the two sexes have in reality very similar dreams and aspirations.
Orlando: Eine Biographie (German Edition)
Virginia Woolf
»Eine Fantasie, völlig unmöglich, aber großartig … überschäumend, ausgelassen und voller Witz.« The Times Literary Supplement
»Orlando« ist die wundersame Geschichte einer Verwandlung, eine Jagd durch die Jahrhunderte, Gesellschaftsporträt, der schönste Liebesbrief der Literaturgeschichte und ein Roman, der gegenwärtiger nicht sein kö Spielerisch, furios und unvergesslich verhandelt dieses sprachliches wie stilistisches Wunderwerk, wie flirrend und leicht Identitäten und Lebensentwürfe sich aufzulösen, wandeln und zu etwas ganz Eigenem werden können. Eine camelionhafte und übermütige Geschichte, die mit einem jungen Höfling im 16. Jahrhundert beginnt und mit einer Autorin in Virginia Woolfs eigener Zeit endet.
Os Anos
Virginia Woolf
Construído como um "ensaio" sobre a vida real, Os Anos, publicado em 1937, são a crônica, em onze episódios, de uma família inglesa, cujas transformações o leitor acompanha desde 1880. Nesta obra, a sociedade, ou a relação entre indivíduo e sociedade, ocupa necessariamente um grande espaço.
O Valor do Riso
Virginia Woolf
Em trabalho primoroso, o crítico e poeta Leonardo Fróes selecionou e traduziu 28 ensaios de Virginia Woolf, a maior parte inédita no Brasil. Os textos foram produzidos entre 1905 e 1940, publicados originalmente como artigos para jornais e revistas com os quais Virginia colaborava. Neles, é possível verificar o mesmo talento da ficcionista, agora aplicado a outro gênero, através do qual vemos uma Virginia mais mundana, voltada para os movimentos exteriores: eis aqui uma observadora afiada, resenhista destemida, além de crítica perspicaz e militante. Em “Mulheres e ficção”, por exemplo, a autora avalia a evolução da escrita feminina em paralelo à própria libertação da mulher. Em “Batendo pernas nas ruas: uma aventura em Londres”, a compra de um simples lápis se transforma numa forte experiência de abertura ao mundo. Há também ensaios que traçam perfis de mulheres fascinantes, das mais conhecidas – como Jane Austen, Sara Bernhardt e Dorothy Wordsworth – até as esquecidas Lady Elizabeth Holland e Louise de La Valière. Em outros textos, Virginia trata – e muitas vezes põe em xeque – dos ofícios das letras; é o caso de “Como se deve ler um livro?”, “O leitor comum”, “A arte da biografia” e os corajosos “Resenhando” e “Ficção moderna”.
Pani Dalloway
Virginia Woolf
Jeden dzień z życia Klarysy Dalloway – kobiety targanej uczuciami i namiętnościami.
Londyn, czerwiec 1923. Jeden dzień z życia Klarysy Dalloway – kobiety targanej uczuciami i namiętnościami. Obserwując świat z perspektywy kilkorga bohaterów, Virginia Woolf odkrywa to, co ukryte za fasadą ładu, harmonii i rodzinnego szczęścia.
„Co za rozkosz! Jaka cudowna kąpiel! Bo tak to zawsze odczuwała, kiedy z cichym skrzypieniem zawiasów, które dotąd słyszy, otwierała drzwi balkonowe i wychodziła w Bourton na taras. Jak rześkie, jak ciche – cichsze naturalnie niż tutaj – było powietrze wczesnym rankiem; jak pluśnięcie fali, jak pocałunek fali; chłodne i ostre, a jednak (miała wtedy osiemnaście lat) dziwnie uroczyste, bo kiedy tak stała w otwartych drzwiach na taras, ogarniało ją uczucie, że za chwilę zdarzy się coś przerażającego.” (fragment powieści)

Selected Diaries
Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf turned to her diary as to an intimate friend, to whom she could freely and spontaneously confide her thoughts on public events or the joys and trials of domestic life. Between 1st January 1915 and her death in 1941 she regularly recorded her thoughts with unfailing grace, courage, honesty and wit. The result is one of the greatest diaries in the English language.
Selected Letters
Virginia Woolf
The finest and most enjoyable of Virginia Woolf's letters are brought together in a single volume. It is a marvellous collection - spontaneous, witty, often flirtatious and powerfully moving. Whether bemoaning some domestic travail, commenting publicly on the state of the nation, or discussing cultural, artistic or personal concerns, Virginia Woolf is one of the great correspondents. This volume displays not only Woolf's courage and brilliance, her generosity and love of gossip, but also her genius for close and enduring friendship.
Selected Short Stories
Virginia Woolf
'Why, if one wants to compare life to anything, one must liken it to being blown through the Tube at fifty miles an hour - landing at the other end without a single hairpin in one's hair! Shot out at the feet of God entirely naked! ... Yes, that seems to express the rapidity of life, the perpetual waste and repair; all so casual, all so haphazard' Virginia Woolf tested the boundaries of fiction in these short stories, developing a new language of sensation, feeling and thought, and recreating in words the 'swarm and confusion of life'. Defying categorization, the stories range from the more traditional narrative style of 'Solid Objects' through the fragile impressionism of 'Kew Gardens' to the abstract exploration of consciousness in 'The Mark on the Wall'. Edited with an introduction and notes by Sandra Kemp

The Lady in the Looking Glass
Virginia Woolf
People should not leave looking-glasses hanging in their rooms any more than they should leave open cheque books or letters confessing some hideous crime'. 'If she concealed so much and knew so much one must prize her open with the first tool that came to hand - the imagination'. Virginia Woolf's writing tested the boundaries of modern fiction, exploring the depths of human consciousness and creating a new language of sensation and thought. Sometimes impressionistic, sometimes experimental, sometimes brutally cruel, sometimes surprisingly warm and funny, these five stories describe love lost, friendships formed and lives questioned. This book includes "The Lady in the Looking Glass", "A Society", "The Mark on the Wall", "Solid Objects" and "Lappin and Lapinova".

The London Scene: Six Essays on London Life
Virginia Woolf
'The London Scene' is a collection of essays written by one of London's most acclaimed writers. Virginia Woolf was born and lived much of her life in the city, using it as the backdrop for many of her works.
The essays cover London Docks, Oxford Street Tide, Great Men's Houses, Abbeys and Cathedrals, "This is the House of Commons", and Portrait of a Londoner. The essays were first published in the 'Good Housekeeping' magazine, beginning in the spring of 1931 and then bi-monthly through to December 1932.
There is also a chapter on 'The History of The London Scene', which when first published in America was entitled 'The London Scene: Five Essays.' 'The Portrait of a Londoner' was the essay not included and, indeed, this edition has that essay included in the collection for the first time.
The Mark on the Wall
Virginia Woolf
"The Mark on the Wall" is the first published story by Virginia Woolf. It was published in 1917 as part of the first collection of short stories written by Virginia Woolf and her husband, Leonard Woolf, called Two Stories. It was later published in New York in 1921 as part of another collection entitled Monday or Tuesday. The Mark on the Wall is written in the first person, as a "stream of consciousness" monologue. The narrator notices a mark on the wall, and muses on the workings of the mind. Themes of religion, self-reflection, nature, and uncertainty are explored. The narrator reminisces about the development of thought patterns, beginning in childhood.
The Mark On The Wall & Other Short Fiction (Worlds Classics)
Virginia Woolf
The fifteen stories in this volume include the only collection of short fiction Woolf published in her lifetime, the eight stories published as 'Monday and Tuesday', together with seven later stories. Without these bold and experimental forays into the short story she would never have become the great modernist novelist.

The New Dress
Virginia Woolf
‘Waking, I cry “Oh, is this your – buried treasure? The light in the heart.”’
In these exquisite stories from the genius of English modernism, everyday objects acquire profound significance: a lump of buried green glass leads to a lifetime of obsession; a mark on the wall prompts a questioning of reality itself; a pale-yellow silk dress provokes a painful self-reckoning. Beautiful, strange and pioneering, each piece is a small precious stone to be held to the light and savoured.
The Pargiters

The Voyage Out (The Virginia Woolf Library)
Virginia Woolf
Woolf’s first novel is a haunting book, full of light and shadow. It takes Mr. and Mrs. Ambrose and their niece, Rachel, on a sea voyage from London to a resort on the South American coast. “It is a strange, tragic, inspired book whose scene is a South America not found on any map and reached by a boat which would not float on any sea, an America whose spiritual boundaries touch Xanadu and Atlantis” (E. M. Forster).
The Waves
Virginia Woolf
As ondas, considerada uma das mais importantes obras de Virginia Woolf e do século XX, envolve o leitor nas inquietações e sensações íntimas de suas personagens principais. Os monólogos que conduzem a narrativa se desenrolam em um fluxo contínuo como o movimento das ondas e transformam este romance em um verdadeiro jogo experimental. Homossexualidade, adultério, amizade, amor e morte atravessam a fala dos protagonistas, que se exprimem e se retiram, cada um a seu tempo, embalando o leitor no ritmo das marés. Esta edição conta com a tradução da escritora Lya Luft, que verteu com maestria para a língua portuguesa toda a complexidade da genial escrita da autora.
The Waves: Virginia Woolf (English Edition)
Virginia Woolf
One of Woolf's most experimental novels, The Waves presents six characters in monologue - from morning until night, from childhood into old age - against a background of the sea. The result is a glorious chorus of voices that exists not to remark on the passing of events but to celebrate the connection between its various individual parts.
The Years
Virginia Woolf
The most popular of Virginia Woolf's novels during her lifetime, The Years is a savage indictment of British society at the turn of the century, edited with an introduction and notes by Jeri Johnson in Penguin Modern Classics.
The Years is the story of three generations of the Pargiter family - their intimacies and estrangements, anxieties and triumphs - mapped out against the bustling rhythms of London's streets during the first decades of the twentieth century. Growing up in a typically Victorian household, the Pargiter children must learn to find their footing in an alternative world, where the rules of etiquette have shifted from the drawing-room to the air-raid shelter. A work of fluid and dazzling lucidity, The Years eschews a simple line of development in favour of a varied and constantly changing style, emphasises the radical discontinuity of personal experiences and historical events. Virginia Woolf's penultimate novel celebrates the resilience of the individual self and, in her dazzlingly fluid and distinctive voice, she confidently paints a broad canvas across time, generation and class.
The Years / Between the Acts
Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf's extraordinary last novel, Between the Acts, was published in July 1941. In the weeks before she died in March that year, Woolf wrote that she planned to continue revising the book and that it was not ready for publication. Her husband prepared the work for publication after her death, and his revisions have become part of the text now widely read by students and scholars. Unlike most previous editions, the Cambridge edition returns to the final version of the novel as Woolf left it, examining the stages of composition and publication. Using the final typescript as a guide, this edition fully collates all variants and thus accounts for all the editorial decisions made by Leonard Woolf for the first published edition. With detailed explanatory notes, a chronology and an informative critical introduction, this volume will allow scholars to develop a fuller understanding of Woolf's last work.
Three Guineas
Virginia Woolf
The author received three separate requests for a gift of one guinea-one for a women’s college building fund, one for a society promoting the employment of professional women, and one to help prevent war and “protect culture, and intellectual liberty.” This book is a threefold answer to these requests-and a statement of feminine purpose.
To the Lighthouse
Virginia Woolf
The serene and maternal Mrs. Ramsay, the tragic yet absurd Mr. Ramsay, and their children and assorted guests are on holiday on the Isle of Skye. 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.
As time winds its way through their lives, the Ramsays face, alone and simultaneously, the greatest of human challenges and its greatest triumph—the human capacity for change.
To The Lighthouse: The Virginia Woolf Library Authorized Edition
Virginia Woolf
The subject of this extraordinary novel is the daily life of an English family in the Hebrides.
“Radiant as [To the Lighthouse] is in its beauty, there could never be a mistake about it: here is a novel to the last degree severe and uncompromising. I think that beyond being about the very nature of reality, it is itself a vision of reality.” -Eudora Welty, from her Introduction.
To the light house: To the Lighthouse (1927),
Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf (January 25, 1882 – March 28, 1941) was an English novelist and essayist regarded as one of the foremost modernist literary figures of the twentieth century. During the interwar period, Woolf was a significant figure in London literary society and a member of the Bloomsbury Group. Her most famous works include the novels Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), and Orlando (1928), and the book-length essay A Room of One's Own (1929) with its famous dictum, "a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction".
Tra un atto e l'altro
Virginia Woolf
In Woolf's last novel, the action takes place on one summer's day at a country house in the heart of England, where the villagers are presenting their annual pageant. A lyrical, moving valedictory.
Tutto ciò che vi devo: Lettere alle amiche
Virginia Woolf
Una delle più grandi e innovatrici scrittrici del Novecento, icona di libertà e di autonomia, si apre in queste lettere alle amiche di una vita, le persone che più di tutte hanno penetrato il suo universo segreto di affetti e di pensiero. Eccentriche e anticonformiste, leali e affascinanti, Virginia ama spassionatamente le sue destinatarie e a loro rivela tutti i colori della sua unica personalità.
Um esboço do passado
Virginia Woolf
Enquanto escreve a biografia de Roger Deu, Virginia Woolf lembra-se de um comentário de sua irmã, Vanessa. Ela havia dito que se Woolf não começasse a escrever suas memórias, logo estaria velha demais para isso. O ano é 1939 e a fala da irmã funciona como um gatilho para que a escritora comece a esboçar seu passado. A empreitada ocorre em meio a uma série de reflexões de Woolf sobre as maneiras de retratar suas lembranças e os significados por trás de cada uma delas. A autora começa escrevendo livremente, mas após algumas páginas agora a forma do diário, marcando as datas dos textos. Quando esta mudança ocorre, Woolf justifica-se dizendo ter descoberto a forma de seu texto. A presença da data, além de ser comum na prática diarística, teria como objetivo fazer com que o "eu" do presente reflita sobre o "eu" do passado, elemento essencial desta obra.
Um Quarto que Seja Seu
Virginia Woolf
A Room of One's Own is considered Virginia Woolf's most powerful feminist essay, justifying the need for women to possess intellectual freedom and financial independence. Based on a lecture given at Girton College, Cambridge, the essay is one of the great feminist polemics, ranging in its themes from Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte to the silent fate of Shakespeare's gifted (imaginary) sister and the effects of poverty and sexual constraint on female creativity.
Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) is regarded as a major twentieth-century author and essayist, a key figure in literary history as a feminist and a modernist, and the centre of 'The Bloomsbury Group'.
Um Quarto Só Meu
Virginia Woolf
Neste ensaio baseado em palestras dadas a mulheres no final dos anos 1920, na Universidade de Cambridge, no Reino Unido, Virginia Woolf oferece ao auditório, primeiro, e ao mundo, depois, um encadeamento de pensamentos provocatórios e excitantes sobre a condição da mulher na sociedade, desde sempre e até agora.
Dos obstáculos na aprendizagem ao exercício da profissão e à exploração da criatividade literária, e não só, Woolf aborda o transversal tema dos constrangimentos sexuais, que nesta obra encontra contornos de uma evidente atualidade.
«Ter dinheiro e um quarto.» Ser livre, portanto, de forma literal e figurada.
Um Quarto Só Seu
Virginia Woolf
Em 1928, Virginia Woolf foi convidada pela Universidade de Cambridge a dar, nos colégios femininos da instituição, uma palestra sobre mulheres e ficção. Com a frontalidade que o tema exige, Woolf resolve, sem subterfúgios, a equação: para escrever ficção, «uma mulher tem de ter dinheiro e um quarto só seu». Dito de outro modo, tem de ser livre.
Versando sobre as condições materiais e sociais necessárias para que uma mulher possa, se assim o desejar, escrever e criar, e explorando os efeitos da pobreza e do constrangimento sexual na criatividade feminina, Virginia Woolf ofereceu ao seu auditório e a todas as gerações que se seguiram uma reflexão provocadora e estimulante sobre a condição da mulher e a alienação social a que foi, desde a Antiguidade, sujeita num mundo dominado por homens.
Considerado um dos textos mais importantes do século XX, Um Quarto Só Seu marca um momento fundador do feminismo moderno, que devolve à esfera política uma luta antiga e justa: a da igualdade.
Um Teto Todo Seu
Virginia Woolf
Baseado em palestras proferidas por Virginia Woolf nas faculdades de Newham e Girton em 1928, o ensaio Um teto todo seu é uma reflexão acerca das condições sociais da mulher e a sua influência na produção literária feminina. A escritora pontua em que medida a posição que a mulher ocupa na sociedade acarreta dificuldades para a expressão livre de seu pensamento, para que essa expressão seja transformada em uma escrita sem sujeição e, finalmente, para que essa escrita seja recebida com consideração, em vez da indiferença comumente reservada à escrita feminina na época. Esta edição traz, além do ensaio, uma seleção de trechos dos diários de Virginia, uma cronologia da vida e da obra da autora e um posfácio escrito pela crítica literária e colaboradora da Folha de S. Paulo Noemi Jaffe.
Una casa encantada (Spanish Edition)
Virginia Woolf
En 1940, Virginia Woolf decidió formar un nuevo volumen de cuentos, al que incorporaría la mayoría de los relatos originariamente aparecidos en Lunes o martes, así como otros posteriormente incluidos en publicaciones periódicas, y algunos inéditos, Una Casa encantada, es uno de ellos.
UNA HABITACION PROPIA
Virginia Woolf
A Room of One's Own is considered Virginia Woolf's most powerful feminist essay, justifying the need for women to possess intellectual freedom and financial independence. Based on a lecture given at Girton College, Cambridge, the essay is one of the great feminist polemics, ranging in its themes from Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte to the silent fate of Shakespeare's gifted (imaginary) sister and the effects of poverty and sexual constraint on female creativity.Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) is regarded as a major twentieth-century author and essayist, a key figure in literary history as a feminist and a modernist, and the centre of 'The Bloomsbury Group'.
Una habitación propia
Virginia Woolf
Obra publicada en 1929, Una habitación propia trata, básicamente, de la relación entre la condición femenina y la literatura, desde el punto de vista de una de las mejores y más singulares escritoras del siglo XX, Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), que volcó en cada una de sus páginas su inconfundible sensibilidad, el acervo de sus vivencias y su particular subjetividad. "Una mujer necesita dinero y una habitación propia para dedicarse a la literatura", proclama la autora al principio de estas páginas. Y toda aquella persona -sea hombre o mujer- interesada por los siempre sutiles vínculos entre vida y creación artística no se arrepentirá de adentrarse en ellas.
Una habitación propia (edición íntegra e ilustrada) (Spanish Edition)
Virginia Woolf
Una nueva y cuidada edición del clásico, ilustrada por María Hesse.
Clásicos inolvidables para disfrutar, compartir y dejar volar la imaginación.
Una habitación propia es una obra icónica de la historia del feminismo. En él, Virginia Woolf trata temas como la dependencia económica, la carga de los cuidados y la poca presencia histórica de la mujer. Temas que, incluso hoy, generan fuertes debates.
Esta nueva y cuidada edición del clásico, ilustrada por María Hesse, es una lectura clave y un ensayo de referencia en el feminismo.
Una sociedad
Virginia Woolf
The plot is about a group of girls who form a society. They vow that none of them will marry or have children until they can determine what men have been doing all the this time and whether it was worth it for women to spend their youth in bearing an raising them
Una stanza tutta per sé
Virginia Woolf
Una stanza tutta per sé è un trattato ironico, immaginifico, personalissimo e vario, che riesce a unire l’analisi sociale e la satira. Il leitmotiv della stanza, grembo e prigione dell’anima femminile, si allarga fino a comprendere tutti i luoghi della dimora umana: la natura, la cultura, la storia e infine la “realtà” stessa nella sua inquietante ma esaltante molteplicità. L’autrice demolisce la società patriarcale, bussa con forza alle porte del mondo della cultura, fino a quel momento di esclusivo appannaggio maschile, pretende di farvi irruzione, chiede che non ci siano più limiti e divieti per il pensiero delle donne.
Un cuarto propio
Virginia Woolf
«No hay marca en la pared para medir la precisa estatura de las mujeres. No hay medidas que determinen las condiciones de una buena madre o el cariño de una hija, la fidelidad de una hermana o la capacidad de un ama de llaves», comenta Virginia Woolf en este ensayo, pero lo que también nos dice es que para escribir una novela una mujer tiene que tener un cuarto propio y comida caliente; en resumen, tener una vida propia e independiente.
Lejos de ser un alegato furibundo contra los hombres, Un cuarto propio es un elegante ensayo que ya en 1929 ponía sobre la mesa unos temas que aún hoy son objeto de debate, como la dependencia económica de la mujer con respecto al hombre, el cuidado de una familia y la figura de la mujer como musa inspiradora del artista pero con poca presencia en la práctica de la creatividad.
Une chambre à soi
Virginia Woolf
"Je sais, vous m'avez demandé de parler des femmes et du roman. Quel rapport, allez-vous me dire, existe-t-il entre ce sujet et une "chambre à soi" ?, interroge Virginia Woolf en ouverture d'une conférence sur le féminisme qu'elle dispensa aux étudiantes de l'université de Cambridge. Avec une irritation voilée d'ironie, Virginia Woolf rappelle dans ce délicieux pamphlet comment, jusqu'à une époque toute récente, les femmes ont été savamment placées sous la dépendance spirituelle et économique des hommes et, par voie de conséquence, réduites au silence. Il manquait à celles qui étaient douées pour affirmer leur génie de quoi vivre, du temps et une chambre à soi."
Virginia Woolf - Die besten Geschichten (Neuübersetzung) (German Edition)
Virginia Woolf
Mit ihren avantgardistischen Romanen gehört Virginia Woolf neben Autoren wie Joyce und Proust zu den wichtigsten Figuren der literarischen Moderne. Doch nirgendwo zeigt sich Woolfs meisterhaft experimenteller Stil deutlicher als in ihren Kurzgeschichten, von denen dieser Band alle zu ihren Lebzeiten erschienenen versammelt. In Texten wie »Ein Geisterhaus« und »Montag oder Dienstag« sind konventionelle Erzählstrukturen aufgebrochen zugunsten eines fast traumartigen Bewusstseinsstroms. Wie mit einem Blitzstrahl leuchtet Woolf die Details der Szenen aus, deren Sog sich der Leser kaum entziehen kann.

Virginia Woolf & Vita Sackville-West: Cartas de Amor
Virginia Woolf
Em uma edição inédita no brasil e com introdução de Alison Bechdel, as cartas trocadas entre Virginia Woolf e Vita Sackville-West apresentam toda a poesia de um sublime caso de amor
“Estou reduzida a uma coisa que deseja Virginia. Elaborei uma linda carta para você nas horas insones de pesadelo noturnas, e ela se desvaneceu por completo: apenas sinto sua falta…”
Durante um jantar na Inglaterra em 1922, ocorre um breve encontro entre uma envolvente e exuberante aristocrata com uma tímida e arguta escritora. Uma desbrava o mundo e as nuances de tudo que ele pode oferecer, a outra explora os limites selvagens de sua própria imaginação. O início de uma história íntima, intensa e inevitável.
Vita Sackville-West e Virginia Woolf parecem pertencer a realidades diferentes, mas encantadas pela personalidade e talento uma da outra, abrem espaço em suas vidas para se conhecer intimamente, inspirar suas produções literárias e enfrentar, lado a lado, tradições, desilusões, doenças, mudanças e injustiças.
Com vidas que espelharam e subverteram as concepções de feminismo, igualdade, casamento, linguagem e arte, o legado eterno dessas duas mulheres extraordinárias reverbera até hoje ― mais de cem anos depois de se apaixonarem.
Com introdução de Alison Bechdel ― quadrinista e criadora do icônico Teste de Bechdel ―, Virginia Woolf & Vita Sackville-West: Cartas de Amor reúne uma seleção de correspondências e trechos de diários das duas escritoras, apresentando as intempéries e o florescimento de uma verdadeira história de amor.
Własny pokój
Virginia Woolf
Dziewięćdziesiąt lat temu ukazał się esej Virginii Woolf „Własny pokój”. Brytyjska pisarka miała już wówczas renomę, a za sobą takie dzieła jak „Pani Dalloway”, „Orlando”, „Do latarni morskiej”. I właśnie w takim momencie życia, dobiegając pięćdziesiątki, postanowiła opowiedzieć kobietom o tym, co jej zdaniem jest najistotniejsze: namówić je do tego, aby zawalczyły o własny, najlepiej zamykany na klucz pokój, w którym będą mogły spokojnie myśleć i tworzyć oraz o własne pieniądze.
Wydawnictwo OsnoVa postanowiło przypomnieć ten legendarny esej nie tylko ze względu na jubileusz, który obchodzi, ale przede wszystkim dlatego, że problemy poruszane w nim nadal są aktualne. Oczywiście współczesny świat wygląda zupełnie inaczej niż ten, w którym żyła Woolf, ale napisane przez nią słowa nadal brzmią znajomo: „Kiedy więc każę wam zarabiać pieniądze i zdobyć własny pokój, w istocie proszę was o to, byście żyły świadome rzeczywistości, a więc wiodły żywot fascynujący, niezależnie od tego, czy uda wam się przekazać innym jego treść”. Czy nie na tym właśnie zależy kobietom żyjącym w XXI wieku?
Esej Woolf w doskonałym tłumaczeniu Agnieszki Graff to jedynie połowa książki. Na tę pozycję wydawniczą składają się także portrety sześciu Polek, które zdają się wypełniać testament Woolf: Magdy Cieleckiej, Edyty Bartosiewicz, Joanny Bator, Ewy Woydyłło, Martyny Wojciechowskiej i Katarzyny Kozyry. Napisały o nich Sylwia Chutnik i Karolina Sulej.
Women and Writing
Virginia Woolf
Known for her novels, and for the dubious fame of being a doyenne of the 'Bloomsbury Set', in her time Virginia Woolf was highly respected as a major essayist and critic with a special interest and commitment to contemporary literature, and women's writing in particular. This spectacular collection of essays and other writings does justice to those efforts, offering unique appraisals of Aphra Behn, Mary Wollstonecraft, the Duchess of Newcastle, Dorothy Richardson, Charlotte Bronte, and Katherine Mansfield, amongst many others. Gathered too, and using previously unpublished (sometimes even unsigned) journal extracts, are what will now become timeless commentaries on 'Women and Fiction', 'Professions for Women' and 'The Intellectual Status of Women'. More than half a century after the publication of A Room Of One's Own, distinguished scholar Michele Barrett cohesively brings together work which, throughout the years, has been scattered throughout many texts and many volumes. . . affording these very valuable writings the collective distinction they deserve at last.
Орландо
Virginia Woolf
«Орландо» — найвідоміший завдяки блискучій екранізації і водночас найсуперечливіший роман В.Вулф, адже незвичний навіть для самої авторки. Про що цей твір? Чи це романтизована біографія молодого дворянина, що три століття поспіль не старішає, а згодом ще й перетворюється на жінку? Чи дотепна пародія? Чи майстерна гра авторки з простором і часом? А може, це жіноча версія «Портрета Доріана Грея»? Чи своєрідне освідчення в коханні завдовжки з роман?
В и маєте змогу дошукатися відповідей самотужки.
