Maltrattata e vessata, non vede l’ora di diventare maggiorenne per andare a Londra e trovarsi un lavoro. Un giorno incontra Mihail, un ragazzo dai lunghi capelli e i modi scanzonati, che le dà aiuto in una situazione pericolosa e le dice di essere un artista circense.

Published in 1937 to commercial success, The Years is a powerful narrative that traces the fortunes of the Pargiter family from the 1880s through to the 1930s, capturing the shifting tides of English society as old traditions give way to modernity. Through Woolf's characteristically lyrical prose and sharp psychological insight, the ordinary rhythms of domestic life – births, deaths, reunions, quiet moments of longing – become heavy with meaning.

Published in 1919, Woolf's early novel unfolds in Edwardian London, where Katherine Hilbery, the granddaughter of a celebrated poet, navigates questions of marriage, independence and intellectual freedom. Her forthright acquaintance, Mary Datchet, a suffragist committed to political change, carries a contrasting vision of life and love, and her opinions throw Katherine's choices into sharp relief. While more traditional in form than Woolf's later works, Night and Day reveals her emerging mastery of psychological depth and subtle irony.

Meet Orlando: a young nobleman in Elizabethan England, poet, lover, adventurer—and, after a transformational sleep, a woman. Spanning over 300 years of British history, Orlando bends the rules of time, gender, and narrative as its protagonist navigates shifting societies, identities, and expectations, all while seeking something elusive: the truth of the self. Playful, profound, and radically ahead of its time, Virginia Woolf's groundbreaking novel is part love letter, part satire, and part meditation on the fluid nature of existence.

Zu schlau'n'schlank für ein bestimmtes Geschlecht? - Virginia Woolfs "Orlando" geistert durch vier Jahrhunderte. Mal als Mann, mal als Frau mischt er/sie historische Genderrollen auf und ist dabei doch immer dicht beim alten Shakespeare. Orlandos epische Zeit- und Weltreise, nimmt uns mit auf eine furiose Achterbahnfahrt der Gefühle. So wild die Kapriolen und so amüsant die Hakenschläge auch sein mögen, sind sie doch unerschütterlich durchtränkt von echt britischem Humor. Orlando, das ist Verführung pur.

Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own is a timeless and thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between women and creativity. Based on a series of lectures delivered at Cambridge University in 1928, this seminal work blends sharp wit, eloquence, and intellectual rigor to examine the systemic barriers that have historically denied women the opportunity to achieve their artistic potential.

In A Room of One’s Own, Virginia Woolf’s classic six-part essay, the iconic Modernist writer takes on the misogyny of writing, publishing, and creativity in her time. Through the imagined sister of William Shakespeare, who in her argument possesses the same talent and intellect as the famous playwright, Woolf lays out the fundamental truth that one requires room to express creativity and time to explore and see it through. Genius unexpressed is genius nonetheless, and had Shakespeare’s sister the means to make her own art, she would have had the same lasting legacy as her brother.

In this hauntingly poetic essay, Virginia Woolf captures the fragile beauty of life and death through the simple image of a moth struggling in the light. As she reflects on the inevitability of mortality and the quiet force of nature, Woolf’s sharp, introspective prose invites readers to confront their own fleeting existence. The Death of the Moth is a meditation on life’s transience, a masterclass in Woolf’s ability to turn ordinary moments into profound reflections on human vulnerability.
