Virginia Woolf

Now you can live a day in the life of a young woman in 1920s London. Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway follows one day of upper-class housewife Clarissa Dalloway's life as she plans and hosts a dinner party at her house. Along the way she meets with people from both her past--a former suitor whose proposal she rejected and whom she no longer gets along with--and her present--her distant husband, Richard; her daughter, Elizabeth; and her daughter's teacher, Miss Kilman, whom she despises (and who feels the same towards Clarissa). Along the way, we separately meet a young veteran who was once a poet and a romantic before experiencing the horrors of war and becoming suicidal. He is diagnosed with mental illness and is being forced to separate from his wife and go to a mental asylum. Enter the world of Clarissa Dalloway and enjoy the writings of one of the most prolific female authors of the 20th century with this beautifully rejuvenated edition of Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway.

Romanen «Til fyret» frå 1927 er stilmessig ei oppvising i den intense, djuptborande skrivemåten til Virginia Woolf. Samstundes er det ein mørk og sjølvbiografisk roman der ho nærast psykoanalytisk bearbeider oppveksten sin og forholdet til foreldra. Woolf meinte sjølv at romanen var hennar meisterverk, noko kritikarar har sagt seg samde i, både i samtida og ettertida. Boka vart ein bestseljar alt i Woolfs levetid. Prosaen til Virginia Woolf er kjend for å søke sanninga i bevisstheita til romanfigurane ved bruk av nye litterære grep. Alt i si levetid var Woolf sett på som ein stjerneforfattar, men først i samband med kvinnerørsla på 1970-talet vart ho for fullt oppdaga internasjonalt. Ingen av verka hennar er tidlegare utgitt på nynorsk. Skalds klassikarar er ein serie av vellagra, handplukka verk i ny, frisk og nynorsk språkdrakt som skal gi leseglede til folket.

I denne romanen møter vi Orlando, først som en aristokratisk unggutt på slutten av 1500-tallet. Vel 300 år senere har Orlando skiftet kjønn, og blitt en moden kvinne midt i 30-årene. Forfatteren skal ha påbegynt denne romanen som en spøk, og som en hilsen til en hun en gang hadde et kjærlighetsforhold til. Men under overflaten ligger hennes temaer om kvinnens stilling, kjønnets betydning, tidens gang, øyeblikket og evigheten. Har register.
