eBooks di Titolo Ja di Virginia Woolf editi da Lone Woolf

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   -  Lone Woolf, 2018  - 

Set in pre-war England, the novel begins in Jacob's childhood and follows him through college at Cambridge and into adulthood. The story is told mainly through the perspectives of the women in Jacob's life, including the repressed upper-middle-class Clara Durrant and the uninhibited young art student Florinda, with whom he has an affair. His time in London forms a large part of the story, though towards the end of the novel he travels to Italy and then Greece. Virginia Woolf was an English novelist and essayist regarded as one of the foremost modernist literary figures of the twentieth century. During the interwar period, Woolf was a significant figure in London literary society and a member of the Bloomsbury Group. Her most famous works include the novels Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), and Orlando (1928), and the book-length essay A Room of One's Own (1929) with its famous dictum, "a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction." Woolf suffered from severe bouts of mental illness throughout her life, thought to have been the result of what is now termed bipolar disorder, and committed suicide by drowning in 1941 at the age of 59.
