Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A Room of One's Own is an extended essay born out of two lectures that Virgina Woolf delivered at The University of Cambridge in 1928. With arresting prose, Woolf probes the boundaries of feminine self-expression in a society that seeks to restrain it. She examines the careers of female authors including Jane Austen and George Eliot, and relates the tragic life of Judith Shakespeare, William Shakespeare's fictitious sister.A Room of One's Own endures to this day as one of the most influential feminist polemics.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In the summer of 1910, the Ramsays and their eight children visit their holiday house on the Isle of Skye where they are joined by several family friends. In this house overlooking the sea, the Ramsays experience the vagaries of family life - those which give rise to joys and disappointments, tensions and uncertain allegiances. But it isn't until 1920 that the Ramsey family, irrevocably transformed by the war and deaths of the intervening decade, return to the house and embark on a journey to the lighthouse that was planned and postponed long ago.Hailed as a modernist masterpiece, To the Lighthouse is a novel that explores the complexities of human relationships, the nature of subjectivity and the limitations of perception.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - It is an early summer's morning in 1923, and Clarissa Dalloway is preparing to host a party. As the day unfurls, her mind wanders through the landscape of her past, alighting on old lovers, suppressed desires and paths not taken. Interwoven with Clarissa's story is that of Septimus Warren, a traumatised First World War veteran who is steadily losing his grip on reality.Mrs. Dalloway is a triumph of literary modernism and the stream-of-consciousness style. It is a novel about the relationship between memory, identity and the passage of time, and ultimately explores the complexities of human connection in a society governed by rigid social norms.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Six children play together in a garden by the sea. They grow up, and their lives crash upon different shores, but their inner voices weave a shared tapestry of experience. With the death of their cherished friend Percival, the six friends, now adults, are bound together in grief. Virginia Woolf's most experimental work, The Waves is a novel that defies classification.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - When we first meet the time-travelling, gender-shifting Orlando, he is a young aristocrat in the court of Queen Elizabeth I. An attractive and romantic youth, he is given to carousing and bouts of poetic excess. Later, while in Constantinople, Orlando suffers from a mysterious illness and awakens to find himself in the body of a woman. As Lady Orlando travels across countries and centuries, she falls in love again and again, though never averting her gaze from her chief desire: to be a published poet.Dedicated to Virginia Woolf's close friend and lover Vita Sackville-West, Orlando is a playful yet profound novel that considers and challenges the social norms that governed the experiences of woman through time. It endures today as a feminist and queer classic and remains regarded as one of the most original novels of the 20th century.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Years follows three generations of the middle-class Pargiter family between 1880 and the 1930s. Through a skilful weaving of fragments of conversations and memories, the Pargiter family's triumphs and losses, and their affections and antipathies, are laid bare against a vision of London that is undergoing radical change.More than the sum of its parts, The Years is a tapestry of personal experiences exploring the minutiae of life that often go unnoticed, and a scathing critique of Victorian values.…
