"the Voyage Out", The Debut Novel By Virginia Woolf

USD $ 4,99

The Voyage Out is the debut novel written by Virginia Woolf, and it was first published in 1915. The novel is a precursor to Woolf s later, more experimental works and marks the beginning of her literary career. Set in the early 20th century, The Voyage Out tells the story of Rachel Vinrace, a young English woman who embarks on a sea voyage from London to South America with her aunt and uncle. During the voyage, Rachel encounters a diverse group of passengers, each with their own quirks and complexities. She also develops romantic feelings for Terence Hewet, one of her fellow travelers. The novel explores themes of self-discovery, coming of age, and the limitations placed on women in early 20th-century society. It also delves into the inner lives of its characters, providing insight into their thoughts and emotions. While The Voyage Out may not be as well-known as some of Woolf s later works, it is a significant literary achievement in its own right. It showcases Woolf s early storytelling skills and foreshadows the themes and narrative techniques that would become hallmarks of her later, more celebrated novels.

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf

Autor

(Adeline Virginia Stephen) nació en Londres en 1882, hija del escritor Sir Leslie Stephen y Julia Prinsep Jackson. Sir Leslie estaba emparentado con William Thackeray, y frecuentaban su casa escritores como Henry James (cuya influencia en Virginia Woolf es notoria), Alfred Tennyson o Thomas Hardy.
Julia era de una belleza extraordinaria, por lo que fue modelo de los pintores prerrafelitas, entre ellos Edward Burne Jones. La muerte repentina de su madre, acontecida cuando Virginia sólo tenía 13 años, fue la causa de su primera depresión. A ella se sumaron otras a lo largo de su vida, además de padecer un trastorno bipolar. Una situación tal vez derivada de los abusos sexuales que al parecer padeció llevados a cabo por sus hermanastros.
Tras la muerte de su padre, Virginia se trasladó con su hermana Vanessa al barrio de Blooms­bury, donde frecuentó a los miembros del conocido grupo y a otros intelectuales: Lytton Stra­chey, Keynes, Wittgenstein, Bertrand Russell, Gerald Brenan, Dora Carrington y Leonard Woolf entre ellos. En 1912 se casó con Leonard Woolf, y con él fundó la famosa editorial Hogarth Press, en la que además de publicarse las obras de Virginia, aparecieron libros importantes de Sigmund Freud, T. S. Eliot o Katherine Mansfield. En 1922 Virginia conoció a Vita Sackville-West, con la que estableció una relación sentimental que duró varios años, sin que por ello se resintiera la que mantenía con Leonard. De hecho, Orlando, una de las mejores novelas de Virginia estaba dedicada a Vita.

El 28 de marzo de 1941 Virginia se suicidó. Llenó de piedras los bolsillos de su abrigo, y se sumergió en el río Ouse.
