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. The novel's use of stream of consciousness, reminiscence and shifting perspectives gives it an intimate, poetic essence, and at the time of publication in 1927 it represented an utter rejection of Victorian and Edwardian literary values.

Er kann alles haben - doch er braucht sie. Eigentlich will Jeanie Long nur ihren Job retten, als sie beim attraktiven CEO Camden James vorspricht.

In this beautifully evocative essay, Virginia Woolf transforms a simple errand—a trip to buy a pencil—into a mesmerizing exploration of city life, memory, identity, and the quiet drama of everyday existence.

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.

Quel to è preposizione che in inglese non indica semplicemente un moto a luogo; non è solo il vettore di uno spostamento, un possibile o impossibile approdo al Faro.
