It is an early summer's morning in 1923, and Clarissa Dalloway is preparing to host a party. As the day unfurls, her mind wanders through the landscape of her past, alighting on old lovers, suppressed desires and paths not taken. Interwoven with Clarissa's story is that of Septimus Warren, a traumatised First World War veteran who is steadily losing his grip on reality. Mrs. Dalloway is a triumph of literary modernism and the stream-of-consciousness style. It is a novel about the relationship between memory, identity and the passage of time, and ultimately explores the complexities of human connection in a society governed by rigid social norms.

Una de las inteligencias e imaginaciones m s delicadas que ahora ensayan felices experimentos con la novela inglesa Jorge Luis Borges Al faro es una de las obras cumbre de la literatura del siglo xx. Basada en la propia infancia de la autora, la novela cuenta la historia de la familia Ramsay en la isla escocesa de Skye en el periodo de entre guerras. El rumor del mar, la presencia insomne del faro, la guerra, la muerte, el erotismo o el transcurso del tiempo se entreveran en la larga conversaci n de la novela formando un oleaje de s mbolos, palabras e im genes. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION To the Lighthouse is a 1927 novel by Virginia Woolf. A landmark of high modernism, the novel centers on the Ramsays and their visits to the Isle of Skye in Scotland between 1910 and 1920. Following and extending the tradition of modernist novelists like Marcel Proust and James Joyce, the plot of To the Lighthouse is secondary to its philosophical introspection. The novel includes little dialogue and almost no action; most of it is written as thoughts and observations. The novel recalls childhood emotions and highlights adult relationships. Among the book's many tropes and themes are those of loss, subjectivity, and the problem of perception. In 1998, the Modern Library named To the Lighthouse No. 15 on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. In 2005, the novel was chosen by TIME magazine as one of the one hundred best English-language novels from 1923 to present.

Virginia Woolf’s first fully realized work of fiction—published in its final, revised form for the first timeA beguiling trio of fantastical and farcical anti-fairy tales about a giantess who builds a magical “cottage of one’s own,” battles a silver-scaled sea monster, and defies governesses and gravity alikeIn 1907, eight years before she published her first novel, a twenty-five-year-old Virginia Woolf drafted three interconnected comic stories chronicling the adventures of a giantess named Violet—a teasing tribute to Woolf’s friend Mary Violet Dickinson. But it was only in 2022 that Woolf scholar Urmila Seshagiri discovered a final, revised typescript of the stories. The typescript revealed that Woolf had finished this mock-biography, making it her first fully realized literary experiment and a work that anticipates her later masterpieces. Published here for the first time in its final form, The Life of Violet blends fantasy, fairy tale, and satire as it transports readers into a magical world where the heroine triumphs over sea-monsters as well as stifling social traditions. In these irresistible and riotously plotted stories, Violet, who has powers “as marvelous as her height,” gleefully flouts aristocratic proprieties, finds joy in building “a cottage of one’s own,” and travels to Japan to help create a radical new social order. Amid flights of fancy such as a snowfall of sugared almonds and bathtubs made of painted ostrich eggs, The Life of Violet upends the marriage plot, rejects the Victorian belief that women must choose between virtue and ambition, and celebrates women’s friendships and laughter. A major literary discovery that heralds Woolf’s ambitions to revolutionize fiction and sheds new light on her great themes, The Life of Violet is first and foremost a delight to read. This volume features a preface, afterword, notes, and photographs that provide rich historical, literary, and biographical context.

Virginia Woolf's most famous novel, now in a new edition that reflects the author's own revisions to the work for the first time ever. This is the definitive edition of one of the most important novels of the 20th Century, complete with a cover inspired by the original Hogarth Press design to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the original 1925 publication. Mrs. Dalloway, Virginia Woolf's tale of a day in the life of one upper-middle-class woman, is of the best known and most celebrated novels of the twentieth century. It is a simple novel, on the one hand, in which its protagonist goes about London preparing for the party she will hold in the evening. It is also a complex novel, one that interweaves Mrs. Dalloway's story with those of a shell-shocked veteran, of her old lover, of her unhappy teenage daughter. Together, they form a haunting, mesmerising picture of individual loneliness and post-World War I British society. As Virginia Woolf wrote of it: "I want to give life & death, sanity & insanity; I want to criticise the social system, & to show it at work, at its most intense." This new edition of Mrs. Dalloway, published to mark the centennial of its original appearance, will be followed by new editions of To the Lighthouse and The Waves in celebration of their respective centenaries. All featuring specially commissioned covers that pay tribute to the original designs by Hogarth Press, these editions are meticulously and sensitively edited by scholar and literary critic Edward Mendelson, and are the first to reflect the full range of revisions Virginia Woolf made to her three greatest novels.
