eBooks di Virginia Woolf editi da Studium Legis

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".

To the Lighthouse. E-book. Formato EPUB Virginia Woolf   -  Studium Legis, 2017  -

Between the Acts. E-book. Formato EPUB Virginia Woolf   -  Studium Legis, 2017  - 

Between the Acts is the final novel by Virginia Woolf, published in 1941 shortly after her death. This is a book laden with hidden meaning and allusion. It describes the mounting, performance, and audience of a festival play (hence the title) in a small English village just before the outbreak of the Second World War. Much of it looks forward to the war, with veiled allusions to connection with the continent by flight, swallows representing aircraft, and plunging into darkness. The pageant is a play within a play, representing a rather cynical view of English history. Woolf links together many different threads and ideas - a particularly interesting technique being the use of rhyme words to suggest hidden meanings. Relationships between the characters and aspects of their personalities are explored. The English village bonds throughout the play through their differences and similarities.
