eBooks di Virginia Woolf editi da Forgotten Books

Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) non potè ricevere un'istruzione universitaria, ma ebbe la fortuna di crescere in una famiglia che fin dall'infanzia la stimolò con quanto di meglio offriva la letteratura e la cultura dell'epoca. Nel 1905, dopo la morte dei genitori, si trasferì a Bloomsbury ed è da questo momento che prende avvio la sua carriera nel mondo letterario e culturale inglese. Da allora infatti comincia a scrivere per il «Times» ed entra in contatto con molti importanti intellettuali, anche grazie al Bloomsbury Group che ha creato, conoscendo quello che diventerà suo marito, Leonard Woolf. Insieme a lui fonda la casa editrice Hogarth Press, che a partire dal 1917 pubblicherà le opere della Mansfield, di Freud, Eliot, Joyce e della stessa Virginia. Il 28 marzo del 1941, al culmine di una delle crisi depressive di cui soffriva da anni, si annegò nel fiume Ouse, non lontano dall'amata Monk's House. Tra i suoi libri più famosi ricordiamo "Mrs Dalloway", "Gita al faro", "Orlando", "Le onde" e "Tra un atto e l'altro".

Jacob’s Room. E-book. Formato PDF Virginia Woolf   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

So of course, wrote Betty Flanders, pressing her heels rather deeper in the sand, there was nothing for it but to leave. Slowly welling from the point of her gold nib, pale blue ink dissolved the full Stop; for there her pen stuck; her eyes fixed, and tears Slowly filled them. The entire bay quivered the lighthouse wobbled and she had the illusion that the mast of Mr. Connor's little yacht was ben g i e a wax candle in the sun. She winked quickly. Accidents were awful things. She winked again. The mast was straight; the waves were regular; the lighthouse was upright but the blot had spread.

Granite and Rainbow Essays. E-book. Formato PDF Virginia Woolf   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

Umes of collected essays: The Common Reader, First and Second Series. After her death I took steps to gather together her essays which had not been included in those volumes. There were a considerable number of them; most of them had been published in journals, but a few had never been published. They proved sufficient to fill three posthumous volumes: The Death of the Moth, 1942; The Moment, 1947, and The Captain's Death Bed, 1950. I included in those volumes only those essays which seemed to me of the same order of excellence as those which she herself had chosen to reprint in The Common Reader. When I published The Cap tain's Death Bed, I thought that I had been able to identify all the essays which had appeared in journals and I wrote in the Editorial Note to that volume that it would be the last book of collected essays, since I had now included in the posthumous volumes all her essays, with a few unimportant exceptions.
