Biografia dell'autore
Virginia Woolf, nata Virginia Stephen a Londra nel 1882, è stata una figura centrale del circolo di Bloomsbury. Formatasi in un ambiente intellettualmente vivace, ha trasformato la letteratura inglese attraverso una costante ricerca sperimentale sulla percezione del tempo e della soggettività. La sua carriera, segnata da opere fondamentali pubblicate a partire dal primo decennio del Novecento, è stata costantemente influenzata dalle sue riflessioni sulla condizione femminile e sulla natura dell'esistenza. Nel 1941, dopo una vita dedicata alla scrittura, è scomparsa a Lewes, lasciando un'eredità critica e narrativa che continua a essere studiata in tutto il mondo.
Stile di scrittura
I libri di Virginia Woolf si distinguono per l'uso magistrale del monologo interiore e la capacità di catturare i frammenti invisibili della mente. Attraverso opere come La signora Dalloway, la scrittrice delinea il profilo iconico di Clarissa Dalloway, protagonista che incarna la complessità della vita quotidiana in una Londra sospesa tra passato e presente. Allo stesso modo, in Gita al faro, il nucleo familiare dei Ramsay funge da perno per una riflessione esistenziale profonda, mentre in Orlando la Woolf sfida le convenzioni di genere con un respiro narrativo unico, capace di lasciare un segno indelebile in ogni lettore.

It was a summer's night and they were talking, in the big room with the windows open to the garden, about the cesspool. The county council had promised to bring water to the village, but they hadn't.Mrs. Haines, the wife of the gentleman farmer, a goosefaced woman with eyes protruding as if they saw something to gobble in the gutter, said affectedly: "What a subject to talk about on a night like this!"Then there was silence; and a cow coughed; and that led her to say how odd it was, as a child, she had never feared cows, only horses. But, then, as a small child in a perambulator, a great cart-horse had brushed within an inch of her face. Her family, she told the old man in the arm-chair, had lived near Liskeard for many centuries. There were the graves in the churchyard to prove it.A bird chuckled outside. "A nightingale?" asked Mrs. Haines. No, nightingales didn't come so far north. It was a daylight bird, chuckling over the substance and succulence of the day, over worms, snails, grit, even in sleep.
The Years. E-book. Formato EPUB Virginia Woolf - Skyline, 2016 -
It was an uncertain spring. The weather, perpetually changing, sent clouds of blue and of purple flying over the land. In the country farmers, looking at the fields, were apprehensive; in London umbrellas were opened and then shut by people looking up at the sky. But in April such weather was to be expected. Thousands of shop assistants made that remark, as they handed neat parcels to ladies in flounced dresses standing on the other side of the counter at Whiteley's and the Army and Navy Stores. Interminable processions of shoppers in the West end, of business men in the East, paraded the pavements, like caravans perpetually marching,--so it seemed to those who had any reason to pause, say, to post a letter, or at a club window in Piccadilly. The stream of landaus, victorias and hansom cabs was incessant; for the season was beginning. In the quieter streets musicians doled out their frail and for the most part melancholy pipe of sound, which was echoed, or parodied, here in the trees of Hyde Park, here in St. James's by the twitter of sparrows and the sudden outbursts of the amorous but intermittent thrush.
Orlando. E-book. Formato EPUB Virginia Woolf - Skyline, 2016 -
He--for there could be no doubt of his sex, though the fashion of the time did something to disguise it--was in the act of slicing at the head of a Moor which swung from the rafters. It was the colour of an old football, and more or less the shape of one, save for the sunken cheeks and a strand or two of coarse, dry hair, like the hair on a cocoanut. Orlando's father, or perhaps his grandfather, had struck it from the shoulders of a vast Pagan who had started up under the moon in the barbarian fields of Africa; and now it swung, gently, perpetually, in the breeze which never ceased blowing through the attic rooms of the gigantic house of the lord who had slain him.
