eBooks di Titolo Ja di Virginia Woolf editi da Librofilio

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 EPUB Virginia Woolf   -  Librofilio, 2025  - 

Virginia Woolf’s "Jacob’s Room" is an evocative, experimental novel that captures the fragility of life and the absence of self in a fragmented world. Woolf uses shifting perspectives and rich, impressionistic prose to create a mosaic of Jacob Flanders’s life, seen through the eyes of various people who encounter him. As Jacob’s story unfolds, readers are left with a sense of both intimacy and alienation, as the novel explores themes of memory, loss, and the meaning of existence.Through the lens of modernist narrative techniques, "Jacob’s Room" interrogates the complexity of identity and the human experience, blending psychological depth with social critique. Woolf’s intricate, almost abstract style presents a series of fragmented moments that feel both timeless and fleeting, mirroring the transient nature of human life. The novel culminates in Jacob’s untimely death during World War I, bringing into sharp focus the novel’s exploration of mortality and the impermanence of human existence.For readers who appreciate experimental fiction and the deep exploration of characters’ inner worlds, "Jacob’s Room" is an unforgettable read. It captures the existential angst and yearning for meaning that defined much of modernist literature, and Woolf’s poetic prose creates an immersive experience that lingers with you long after finishing. If you’re looking for a novel that challenges conventions while offering profound insights into the nature of life, "Jacob’s Room" is a must-read.ABOUT THE AUTHORA pioneering voice in modern literature, Virginia Woolf redefined narrative form with her lyrical prose and stream-of-consciousness technique. In works like "Mrs. Dalloway", "To the Lighthouse", and "A Room of One’s Own", she explored gender, identity, and the inner lives of her characters. A key figure of the Bloomsbury Group, Woolf challenged literary conventions and championed women’s intellectual freedom. Her innovative style and bold ideas have cemented her as one of the most influential writers of the 20th century.
