About the book

Virginia Woolf's Orlando 'The longest and most charming love letter in literature', playfully constructs the figure of Orlando as the fictional embodiment of Woolf's close friend and lover, Vita Sackville-West. Spanning three centuries, the novel opens as Orlando, a young nobleman in Elizabeth's England, awaits a visit from the Queen and traces his experience with first love as England under James I lies locked in the embrace of the Great Frost. At the midpoint of the novel, Orlando, now an ambassador in Costantinople, awakes to find that he is a woman, and the novel indulges in farce and irony to consider the roles of women in the 18th and 19th centuries. As the novel ends in 1928, a year consonant with full suffrage for women. Orlando, now a wife and mother, stands poised at the brink of a future that holds new hope and promise for women.

Out-of-Stock Night and day: Jacob’s room, Virginia Woolf

Publisher: Wordsworth Classics

Night and day: Jacob’s room, Virginia Woolf

Jacob's Room (1922), Woolf's third novel, marks the bold affirmation of her own voice and search for a new form to express her view that `the human soul ... orientates itself afresh every now & then. It is doing so now. No one can see it whole therefore.' Jacob's life is presented in subtle, delicate and tantalising glimpses, the novel's gaps and...

Njolla ne mur, Virginia Woolf

Njolla në mur, Virginia Woolf

E ç'mund të ishte më tërheqëse sesa një djalë para se ai të fillonte të kultivonte zgjuarsinë e tij? Është shumë i bukur për ta parë, nuk ka shumë dëngla; e kupton instiktivisht domethënien e artit dhe letërsisë; e shijon jetën e vet dhe bën që edhe të tjerët t'i shijojnë të tyret.

Out-of-Stock To the lighthouse, Virginia Woolf

Publisher: Wordsworth Classics

To the lighthouse, Virginia Woolf

To the Lighthouse is the most autobiographical of Virginia Woolf's novels. It is based on her own early experiences, and while it touches on childhood and children's perceptions and desires, it is at its most trenchant when exploring adult relationships, marriage and the changing class-structure in the period spanning the Great War.

…botuar fillimisht në vitin 1933, Flush, një biografi u bë libri më popullor i Virginia Woolf gjatë jetës së kësaj shkrimtareje ikonë të Britanisë së Madhe.

Valët, Virginia Woolf

Publisher: Dituria

Valët, Virginia Woolf

Valët konsiderohet si vepra artistike më e vështirë dhe më sfiduese e Virginia Woolfit. Vetë ajo e konsideronte si librin e saj “më të vështirë dhe më kompleks”. Është një libër sui generis, jo vetëm për  krijimtarinë e Woolfit, por për prozën angleze në tërësi.

Udha për te fari, Virgina Woolf

Udha për te fari, Virgina Woolf

Një roman i krijuar për të vëzhguar dhe përshkruar me imtësi shpirtin njerëzor, të gjitha ato grimca të panumërta që sulmojnë përditë vetëdijen. Mungon prania e një tregimtari të kudondodhur dhe përshkrues i detajeve. Duket sikur personazhet jetojnë në një botë të rrëmujshme, të rrethuar nga njerëz, por edhe nga vetmia e tyre…
