Jacob's Room, A Novel Written By Virginia Woolf

USD $ 4,99

Jacob s Room is a novel written by Virginia Woolf and first published in 1922. The story is a pioneering example of Woolf s narrative style, characterized by its stream-of-consciousness technique and its exploration of the inner lives and thoughts of characters. The novel revolves around the life of Jacob Flanders, a young Englishman, but it doesn t follow a conventional plot structure. Instead, it presents a series of moments and impressions from Jacob s life, as well as the people he encounters. Through this fragmented narrative, readers gain insight into Jacob s evolving personality, his relationships, and the changing world around him, particularly in the context of the early 20th century. Woolf s prose is known for its poetic and introspective qualities, and Jacob s Room is no exception. It delves into themes of identity, transience, and the passage of time. The novel reflects the uncertainty and impermanence of human existence, making it a significant work in the modernist literary canon. Jacob s Room is a novel that challenges traditional storytelling conventions and invites readers to engage with its characters and themes on a deeper, more contemplative level. It remains a thought-provoking and influential work in the realm of modernist literature.

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.
