    Auf der schottischen Isle of Skye verbringt Familie Ramsey 1910 gemeinsam mit Freunden ihren Urlaub. Für Sohn James zerplatzt ein Traum, als die geplante Fahrt zum nahe gelegenen Leuchtturm ausfällt. Erst zehn Jahre später ¿ nach dem Tod der Mutter ¿ kann der Vater seinem Sohn den Wunsch erfüllen. Nicht die Handlung, sondern das Innenleben von Familie Ramsey und ihren Gästen steht im Mittelpunkt des Romans. In ihrem dritten Buch verwendet Virginia Woolf (1882¿1941) ähnliche Erzähltechniken wie ihre Zeitgenossen Marcel Proust und James Joyce, um die Gedanken und Wahrnehmungen ihrer Protagonisten erlebbar zu machen ¿ ein Stil, der sie bis heute zu einer der bekanntesten britischen Schriftstellerinnen macht.

    "Und da alle Liebeserlebnisse Orlandos sich um Frauen gedreht hatten, so war es (...) auch jetzt noch eine Frau, die sie liebte, obwohl sie nun selbst eine Frau war; und wenn das Bewußtsein, daß sie dem gleichen Geschlecht angehörte, überhaupt dabei eine Wirkung ausübte, so war es die, daß es die Gefühle, die Orlando als Mann gehabt hatte, verstärkte und vertiefte."

    "We are trembling on the verge of one of the great ages of English literature." - Virginia Woolf."Mrs. Dalloway was the first novel to split the atom. ... It is one of the most moving, revolutionary artworks of the twentieth century." (Michael Cunningham, The Hours.)"It is absolutely unafraid... Here at last is a book which attains unity as surely as Wuthering Heights, though by a different path." (E. M. Forster, on The Journey Out.)"No plainer manifestation of the modernist trend in contemporary English fiction may be found than in Virginia Woolf's Jacob's Room." - The New York Times."Virginia Woolf was one of the great innovators of that decade of literary modernism, the 1920s. Novels such as Mrs Dalloway and To the Lighthouse showed how experimental writing could reshape our sense of ordinary life. Taking unremarkable materials - preparations for a genteel party, a day on a bourgeois family holiday - they trace the flow of associations and ideas that we call 'consciousness'." - The GuardianThe Early Novels.: The Voyage Out, Night and Day, Jacob's Room, Mrs Dalloway"Mrs Dalloway ... a book for a lifetime" -- Christine Dwyer Hickey.Virginia Woolf was one of the most influential modernist writers. This volume collects four of her novels and displays her developing genius. The Voyage Out, her first novel, "captures so brilliantly the excitement of youth," and first introduces the character, Clarissa Dalloway. In Night and Day, a traditional novel with two intersecting love triangles, Woolf innovatively portrays marriage as a partnership between equals. Jacob's Room is Woolf's first experimental novel, while the semi-autobiographical Mrs Dalloway is probably Woolf's most popular novel.Virginia Woolf was a luminous novelist, a prolific essayist and book reviewer, and a diarist. With her husband Leonard, Woolf established and ran the Hogarth Press which published works by influential modernist writers. In their first five years, they published Katherine Mansfield, T. S. Eliot, E. M. Forster, Clive Bell, Roger Fry and Sigmund Freud. Woolf's haunting writing, her feminism, and her revolutionary experiments with points of view and stream of consciousness altered the course of literature.

    Through a series of letters, Virginia Woolf's powerful and provocative extended essay confronts the intertwined issues of fascism, feminism, and war.Written as a response to three separate requests for donations from feminist organisations, Three Guineas explores the broader questions of women's roles in society, the pursuit of justice, and the resistance against oppressive systems. Woolf articulates her vision for a society where women are free to pursue education, careers, and intellectual independence-free from the constraints of patriarchal expectations.First published in 1938, Three Guineas is not just a reflection on the societal challenges of Woolf's time but also a timeless statement on the feminine purpose and the need for solidarity in the face of tyranny and violence. It remains an essential read for anyone interested in the intersection of gender, politics, and social justice.

    . Ein leidenschaftliches Plädoyer für die Kraft des geschriebenen (und gelesenen) Wortes . Neu übersetzt von Eric Aichinger, zeitgenössisch illustriert und gestaltet von Ji Hyun Yu. Ohne erhobenen Zeigefinger werden hier Klassiker und Vergessenes, Lyrik und Dramen verschlungen und die Leser:in zum Komplizen der Schreibenden gemacht.. Kompetent lesen - Virginia Woolf¿s Essay zu einem aktuellen Thema in bibliophiler VerpackungAngenommen, es gäbe das Jüngste Gericht, eine letzte Instanz. Sollen wir Leser und Leserinnen dann nicht wenigstens ein klein bisschen besser wegkommen als der Rest? Virginia Woolf ist überzeugt davon, dass Lesen hilft: möglicherweise drüben, aber definitiv hier und jetzt. Nur wie? Wo fängt man an mit dem Lesen, wie können wir wissen, ob wir das richtige Buch für uns gefunden haben und wichtiger noch: Ist intensives Lesen überhaupt noch das Richtige angesichts all der Masse Text um uns? Die Autorin hat darauf eine so bescheidene wie überzeugende Antwort: Lies ohne Regeln und Grenzen.»Denn recht eigentlich lautet der einzige Rat, den ein Mensch einem andern übers Lesen geben kann: Nimm keinen Rat an außer dem, den eigenen Instinkten zu folgen, den eigenen Verstand zu benutzen und zu eigenen Schlussfolgerungen zu kommen. Wenn wir uns darüber einig sind, erlaube ich mir, Ihnen einige Ideen und Vorschläge nahezubringen, die Ihnen diese Freiheit nicht nimmt, da sie das höchste Gut aller Leser ist.« (aus dem Text)Denn nur Aufmerksamkeit, Einbildungskraft und Urteilsfähigkeit helfen, das Buch als ganzes aufzunehmen und seine Form zu erkennen, sei es «eine Scheune, ein Schweinestall oder eine Kathedrale».Ohne erhobenen Zeigefinger werden hier Klassiker und Vergessenes, Lyrik und Dramen verschlungen und der Leser zum Komplizen der Schreibenden gemacht.

    "Gab es keine Sicherheit? Lernte man es nie, sich in der Welt blindlings zurechtzufinden? Gab es nichts, was einen leitete, nichts, was Zuflucht gewährte, war alles nur Wunder und so, als würde man von der Zinne eines Turmes in die Luft springen? War es möglich, daß selbst für ältere Menschen das Leben so war - überraschend, unerwartet, unbekannt? Einen Herzschlag lang glaubte sie, wenn wir beide jetzt aufbegehren, hier, auf dem Rasen, und eine Erklärung verlangen, weshalb es so kurz, weshalb es so unausdeutbar wäre, wenn wir sie mit Nachdruck fordern, in der Sprache, wie zwei reife und fertige menschliche Wesen, vor denen nichts verborgen gehalten werden sollte, sie führen dürfen, so würde die Schönheit sich entfalten, der Raum sich füllen, das nichtige Schnörkelwerk Gestalt annehmen (...)"."Die Fahrt zum Leuchtturm" ist Virginia Woolfs meistverkaufter Roman und zählt zu den "100 bedeutendsten britischen Romanen" (BBC-Umfrage von 2015) sowie zu den "besten 100 englischsprachigen Romanen" (Time Magazine 2005).Virginia Woolf.Die Fahrt zum Leuchtturm.Übersetzt von Karl Lerbs.Erstdruck dieser Übersetzung: Insel-Verlag, Leipzig 1931.Erstdruck des englischsprachigen Originals: To the Lighthouse.

    Known for her novels, and for the dubious fame of being a doyenne of the 'Bloomsbury Set', in her time Virginia Woolf was highly respected as a major essayist and critic with a special interest and commitment to contemporary literature, and women's writing in particular. This spectacular collection of essays and other writings does justice to those efforts, offering unique appraisals of Aphra Behn, Mary Wollstonecraft, the Duchess of Newcastle, Dorothy Richardson, Charlotte Bronte, and Katherine Mansfield, amongst many others. Gathered too, and using previously unpublished (sometimes even unsigned) journal extracts, are what will now become timeless commentaries on 'Women and Fiction', 'Professions for Women' and 'The Intellectual Status of Women'. More than half a century after the publication of A Room Of One's Own, distinguished scholar Michele Barrett cohesively brings together work which, throughout the years, has been scattered throughout many texts and many volumes. . . affording these very valuable writings the collective distinction they deserve at last.
