In the wake of World War I and the 1918 flu pandemic, Clarissa Dalloway, elegant and vivacious, is preparing for a party and remembering those she once loved. In another part of London, Septimus Smith is suffering from shell shock and is on the brink of madness. Their days interweave and their lives converge as the party reaches its glittering climax. Over the course of a single day, from first light to the dark of night, Woolf achieves an uncanny simulacrum of consciousness, bringing past, present, and future together, and recording, impression by impression, minute by minute, the feel of life itself.

At the age of 48, when she moved to the Isle of Wight, Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-1879) was given a camera by her daughter: "It might amuse you, Mother, to try to photograph during your solitude at Freshwater." The gift was to begin Cameron’s short but prolific career as one of photography’s first great artists. "From the first moment I handled my lens with a tender ardour, and it has become to me as a living thing, with voice and memory and creative vigour." The modern interest in Cameron’s photography began with the pioneering 1926 book by her great-niece Virginia Woolf and art critic Roger Fry. Their essays and the original plates are reprinted here, together with Cameron’s own account of her life in photography, Annals of My Glass House, her only surviving poem, On a Portrait, and an introduction by Tristram Powell. Thirty-nine plates and other illustrations have been added, including many of Cameron’s most famous images.
Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas and essays from the world's greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith.'The hour should be evening and the season winter, for in winter the champagne brightness of the air and the sociability of the streets are grateful'. In such conditions, Virginia Woolf takes to London's streets in search of a pencil. The account of her journey - the people, the places, the pleasure - soon becomes one of the great paeans to city life. This collection also includes other wonderful essays, such as 'How Should One Read a Book?' and 'The Sun and the Fish'.'One of the great writers of the twentieth century' Guardian
Virginia Woolf's classic modernist novel, To the Lighthouse, draws from her own life and experiences. Hailed as one of the greatest works of modernist fiction, Virginia Woolf's semi-autobiographical novel about the Ramsay family explores the themes of perspective, interpersonal relationships, and the complexity of human experience. Woolf's use of shifting points of view in the narrative highlights how each person sees and experiences events in their own way. As conflict and grief impact the Ramsays throughout their time on Scotland's Isle of Skye, the reader is pulled into Woolf's own life.
Esta novela, hoy un clá sico de la literatura universal, es un prodigio literario y ubicó a su autora entre lo má s moderno de su é poca. La señ ora Dalloway si bien es la cuarta novela de Virginia Woolf, es la primera que fue tenida en consideració n por los crí ticos de su é poca, quienes probablemente la ignoraban má s que nada por su condició n de mujer. Se trata del relato de un dí a en la vida de una mujer de la clase acomodada inglesa que está preparando una fiesta en su casa. Todas las acciones transcurren durante ese dí a, a excepció n de las que se narran en los sucesivos flashbacks. Lo primero que llamó la atenció n de los crí ticos fue la capacidad lí rica de la prosa, plagada de auté nticos destellos poé ticos que dotan de gran intensidad a la experiencia de lectura.

Clarissa Dalloway es una mujer de cincuenta y dos a os de la alta sociedad londinense, casada con un diputado conservador del parlamento brit nico y madre de una hija adolescente. Un d a de junio de 1923, se prepara para dar una fiesta en su casa aquella misma noche. All se rencontrar con amigos que hace muchos a os que no ve. Mientras pasea por las calles londinenses ultimando los preparativos, Clarissa se encuentra inmersa en sus propios recuerdos y examina las decisiones que ha tomado a lo largo de su vida, como su romance de infancia con Peter Walsh. Pasado, presente y futuro se entretejen en este relato que, a trav s de las complejas vidas interiores de sus personajes, consigue explorar los l mites de la experiencia humana. Por su narrativa cargada de lirismo, capaz de reseguir con maestr a los mon logos interiores de los protagonistas, y su reivindicaci n de la condici n femenina, La se ora Dalloway se ha convertido en una de las novelas m s revolucionarias e imprescindibles del siglo XX.
