eBooks di Titolo Ja di Virginia Woolf editi da Synapse Publishing

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 is Virginia Woolf's first truly experimental novel. It is a portrait of a young man, who is both representative and victim of the social values which led Edwardian society into war. Jacob's life is traced from the time he is a small boy playing on the beach, through his years in Cambridge, then in artistic London, and finally making a trip to Greece, but this is no orthodox Bildungsroman. Jacob is presented in glimpses, in fragments, as Woolf breaks down traditional ways of representing character and experience. The novel's composition coincided with the consolidation of Woolf's interest in feminism, and she criticizes the privileged thoughtless smugness of patriarchy, `the other side', `the men in clubs and Cabinets'. Her stylistic innovations are conscious attempts to realize and develop women's writing and the novel dramatizes her interest in the ways both language and social environments shape differently the lives of men and women.Unabridged edition with an interactive table of contents.
