  2. Se t'immagino qui sono felice
    1. Virginia , Woolf

    Se t'immagino qui sono felice

    Virginia Woolf conosce Vita Sackville-West alla fine del 1922: Vita ha trent'anni ed è una scrittrice affermata, mentre Virginia, che di anni ne ha dieci in più, ha appena iniziato a farsi un nome. Questo primo incontro si rivela fatale e sancisce un legame indissolubile, fatto di affinità intellettuale e attrazione. Il sentimento che le unisce si fa via via più profondo e trova espressione nelle numerose lettere che le due donne si scambiano per quasi un ventennio, fino alla morte della Woolf nel 1941: in queste pagine personali e intense, tenerezza, passione e comune sensibilità si fondono in un intreccio all'altezza dei loro più celebri romanzi.

    1. James Joyce

    Poems

    James Joyce was born in Dublin on 2 February 1882, the eldest of ten children in a family which, after brief prosperity, collapsed into poverty. He was none the less educated at the best Jesuit schools and then at University College, Dublin, and displayed considerable academic and literary ability. Although he spent most of his adult life outside Ireland, Joyce's psychological and fictional universe is firmly rooted in his native Dublin, the city which provides the settings and much of the subject matter for all his fiction. He is best known for his landmark novel Ulysses (1922) and its controversial successor Finnegans Wake (1939), as well as the short story collection Dubliners (1914) and the semi-autobiographical novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916). James Joyce died in Zürich, on 13 January 1941.
