The Waves
The Waves is an astonishingly beautiful and poetic novel from Virginia Woolf. It begins with six children playing in a garden by the sea and follows their lives as they grow up, experience friendship and love, and confront grief at the death of their beloved friend Percival. <BR>Rather than telling the story through conventional plot, Woolf creates a sequence of voices. The six characters speak in soliloquies, their thoughts rising and falling like waves as childhood becomes adulthood and the self is shaped by memory, loss and other people. <BR>A modernist literary classic about consciousness, individuality and community, The Waves is one of Woolf's most daring and moving works. It is a novel of interior life, friendship and grief, written with extraordinary formal control and emotional intensity. <BR>Regarded by many as her greatest work, The Waves is also seen as Virginia Woolf's response to the loss of her brother Thoby, who died when he was twenty-six. <BR><BR>'Virginia Woolf wanted to write about the vast unknown uncertain continent that is the world and us in it' Jeanette Winterson, from her introduction to The Waves <BR>

A Room of One's Own / Three Guineas
'A landmark of feminist thought and a rhetorical masterpiece' Guardian<BR><BR>Ranging from the silent fate of Shakespeare's gifted imaginary sister to Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë and the effects of poverty and sexual constraint on female creativity, A Room of One's Own, based on a lecture given by Woolf at Girton College, Cambridge, is one of the great feminist polemics. Published almost a decade later, Three Guineas breaks new ground in its discussion of men, militarism and women's attitudes towards war. These two pieces reveal Virginia Woolf's indomitable spirit, sophisticated wit and genius as an essayist.<BR><BR>Edited with an Introduction and Notes by Michèle Barrett

To the Lighthouse
'The Lighthouse was then a silvery, misty-looking tower with a yellow eye that opened suddenly and softly in the evening'<BR><BR>To the Lighthouse is at once a vivid impressionistic depiction of a family holiday, and a meditation on marriage, on parenthood and childhood, on grief, tyranny and bitterness. For years now the Ramsays have spent every summer in their holiday home in Scotland, and they expect these summers will go on forever; but as the First World War looms, the integrity of family and society will be fatally challenged. With a psychologically introspective mode, the use of memory, reminiscence and shifting perspectives gives the novel an intimate, poetic essence, and at the time of publication in 1927 it represented an utter rejection of Victorian and Edwardian literary values. <BR><BR>The Penguin English Library - collectable general readers' editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century to the end of the Second World War.

A Room of One's Own
'Fünfhundert Pfund im Jahr und ein eigenes Zimmer' sind die Voraussetzung dafür, dass auch Frauen große Literatur produzieren können: Brillant und überaus amüsant beschreibt Virginia Woolf 1929 in ihrem Essay A Room of one's own die Lage der Frauen aus der Perspektive einer fiktiven Schriftstellerin. Hätte Shakespeare eine Schwester gehabt, ebenso begabt wie er, wie wäre es ihr ergangen? Und was brauchen Frauen, um künstlerisch tätig sein zu können? A room of one's own wurde sehr schnell zu einem der klassischen Texte der Frauenbewegung und weltweit ein großer Erfolg.

Byronin basbelasi Richard Edgeworth, telgrafi az kalsin icad edecekti. Duvara tirmanir, tekerleklerin engellerden rahatcagecebilmesi icin makinalar icad ederdi. Asla gülmeyen Swift, bir ömür boyu devlerin arasinda yasadiktan sonra cüceleri cazibeli bulmaya baslamisti. Cassandra Austen, kiz kardesi Jane fazla ünlenince etrafin ilgisinden korkmus, ona gelen mektuplari yakmisti. Ulysses, hafizalardan silinmeyecek bir afetti. Yogun bir cüret, müthis bir felaketti, diyen Woolfun, bir okur olarak edebiyat dünyasina isik tutan bu degerli eserinin birinci kitabini siz degerli okurlarimiza sunmaktan mutluluk duyariz...The Second Common Readeri da kisa bir süre sonra sizlerin okumasina sunacagiz.
