The Years (Vintage Classics Woolf Series)
Virginia Woolf was born in London in 1882, the daughter of Sir Leslie Stephen, first editor of The Dictionary of National Biography. After his death in 1904 Virginia and her sister, the painter Vanessa Bell, moved to Bloomsbury and became the centre of 'The Bloomsbury Group'. This informal collective of artists and writers which included Lytton Strachey and Roger Fry, exerted a powerful influence over early twentieth-century British culture. In 1912 Virginia married Leonard Woolf, a writer and social reformer. Three years later, her first novel The Voyage Out was published, followed by Night and Day (1919) and Jacob's Room (1922). These first novels show the development of Virginia Woolf's distinctive and innovative narrative style. It was during this time that she and Leonard Woolf founded The Hogarth Press with the publication of the co-authored Two Stories in 1917, hand-printed in the dining room of their house in Surrey. Between 1925 and 1931 Virginia Woolf produced what are now regarded as her finest masterpieces, from Mrs Dalloway (1925) to the poetic and highly experimental novel The Waves (1931). She also maintained an astonishing output of literary criticism, short fiction, journalism and biography, including the playfully subversive Orlando (1928) and A Room of One's Own (1929) a passionate feminist essay. This intense creative productivity was often matched by periods of mental illness, from which she had suffered since her mother's death in 1895. On 28 March 1941, a few months before the publication of her final novel, Between the Acts, Virginia Woolf committed suicide.

Naar de vuurtoren
Wanneer mevrouw Ramsay haar gasten in haar zomerhuis op het eiland Skye vertelt dat ze de volgende dag de nabijgelegen vuurtoren kunnen bezoeken, weet ze niet dat deze reis pas tien jaar later voltooid zal worden en dat er in de tussentijd een golf van oorlog, verdriet en verlies zal zijn ontstaan. Naar de vuurtoren is de meest autobiografische en virtuoze roman van Virginia Woolf, over de ontoereikbaarheid van menselijke relaties en de ongrijpbaarheid van tijd.

Naar de vuurtoren
Naar de vuurtoren is de meest autobiografische en ook meest virtuoze roman van Virginia Woolf. De roman gaat over het verblijf van het gezin Ramsay en een aantal vrienden in hun vakantiehuis op het eiland Skye. Op enige afstand buiten de kust staat de vuurtoren. Een voorgenomen bezoek aan de vuurtoren vormt de kern van deze bijzondere roman. ‘Deze roman is zo rijk, zo subtiel en zo machtig tegelijk, geschreven in die lichte Woolfstijl die altijd vreselijk zwaar op je maag ligt. Grandioos boek.’ — NRC Handelsblad ‘Virginia Woolfs beschrijving van de bijna onzichtbare liefde van de Ramsays heeft eeuwigheidswaarde.’ — Trouw

To the Lighthouse
2023 Reprint of the 1927 edition. The subject of this brilliant novel is the daily life of an English family in the Hebrides. "There are dozens of passages in which the secret relations of men and women, especially women, to the trifling events of life are rendered with convincing and elaborate subtlety. To have written them is to have surpassed, in this one respect, almost every contemporary novelist."-The Saturday Review "Virginia Woolf stands as the chief figure of modernism in England and must be included with Joyce and Proust in the realization of experimental achievements that have completely broken with tradition.-New York Times "To the Lighthouse is one of the greatest elegies in the English language, a book which transcends time." -Margaret Drabble "Without question one of the two or three finest novels of the twentieth century. Woolf comments on the most pressing dramas of our human predicament: war, mortality, family, love. If you're like me you'll come back to this book often, always astounded, always moved, always refreshed." -Rick Moody "[Woolf's] people are astoundingly real...The tragic futility, the absurdity, the pathetic beauty, of life-we experience all of this in our sharing of seven hours of Mrs. Ramsay's wasted or not wasted existence. We have seen, through her, the world." -Conrad Aiken

Die Jahre
Woolfs vorletzter Roman, mit dem sie große Erfolge feierte: Dieser drei Generationen umspannende Familienroman, der sich von 1880 bis in die 1930er Jahre erstreckt, erzählt das Leben der Londoner Offiziersfamilie Pargiter. Hierbei geht es um die Schicksale der Großeltern, Eltern und Kinder, die über die Jahre begleitet werden. Die auf den ersten Blick für Woolf ungewöhnlich konventionelle Erzählweise wird durch wiederkehrende, das Gestern und das Heute verbindende Augenblicke aufgebrochen.-

The Years
It is 1880: after visiting his mistress in the London suburbs, Colonel Pargiter returns home to his children and his dying wife. In a series of snapshots we meet all the Pargiter siblings: twenty-year-old Eleanor, whose concern is to help the poor; her younger sisters Milly, Delia and Rose; her brothers Morris, Martin and Edward, who is at Oxford and in love with his cousin Kitty. As the years unfold, the various threads of relation, history and personal experience are woven into the tapestries of the characters' lives, forming a larger canvas that covers not only the story of a family, but that of two entire generations. The most ambitious of Woolf 's novels, and the last one to be published during her lifetime, The Years is a work suff used with a haunting, melancholy sense of time and history, and a stylistic tour de force.

Die Fahrt zum Leuchtturm
"Gab es keine Sicherheit? Lernte man es nie, sich in der Welt blindlings zurechtzufinden? Gab es nichts, was einen leitete, nichts, was Zuflucht gewährte, war alles nur Wunder und so, als würde man von der Zinne eines Turmes in die Luft springen? War es möglich, daß selbst für ältere Menschen das Leben so war ¿ überraschend, unerwartet, unbekannt? Einen Herzschlag lang glaubte sie, wenn wir beide jetzt aufbegehren, hier, auf dem Rasen, und eine Erklärung verlangen, weshalb es so kurz, weshalb es so unausdeutbar wäre, wenn wir sie mit Nachdruck fordern, in der Sprache, wie zwei reife und fertige menschliche Wesen, vor denen nichts verborgen gehalten werden sollte, sie führen dürfen, so würde die Schönheit sich entfalten, der Raum sich füllen, das nichtige Schnörkelwerk Gestalt annehmen (...)"."Die Fahrt zum Leuchtturm" ist Virginia Woolfs meistverkaufter Roman und zählt zu den "100 bedeutendsten britischen Romanen" (BBC-Umfrage von 2015) sowie zu den "besten 100 englischsprachigen Romanen" (Time Magazine 2005).Virginia Woolf.Die Fahrt zum Leuchtturm.Übersetzt von Karl Lerbs.Erstdruck dieser Übersetzung: Insel-Verlag, Leipzig 1931.Erstdruck des englischsprachigen Originals: To the Lighthouse.

To the Lighthouse (Annotated)
The annotated, authorized edition of one of the great literary masterpieces of the twentieth century with commentary by leading Virginia Woolf scholar Mark Hussey. From the seemingly trivial postponement of a visit to a nearby lighthouse, Woolf constructs a remarkable, moving examination of the complex tensions and allegiances of family life and conflict between men and women. To the Lighthouse is made up of three powerfully charged visions into the life of the Ramsay family living in a summer house off the rocky coast of Scotland. Told through Woolf's pioneering stream of consciousness technique, there's the serene and maternal Mrs. Ramsay, the tragic yet absurd Mr. Ramsay, their eight children, and assorted holiday guests. With the lighthouse excursion postponed, Woolf shows the small joys and quiet tragedies of everyday life that seemingly could go on forever. But as time winds its way through their lives, the Ramsays face, alone and together, the greatest of human challenges and its greatest triumph-the human capacity for change. A moving portrait in miniature of family life, this work of philosophical fiction also has profoundly universal implications, giving language to the silent space that separates people and the space that they transgress to reach each other. This authorized edition from the Virginia Woolf library features:Biographical PrefaceChronologyIntroduction to the textExtensive notesSuggestions for further reading This annotated edition is the perfect companion to more fully understand To the Lighthouse, its importance in twentieth century literature, and the world of Virginia Woolf and the Bloomsbury Group.
