De golven
In De golven volgt Virginia Woolf een groep vrienden van hun jeugd tot middelbare leeftijd. We lezen over hun sociale activiteiten, individuele belevenissen en prestaties – maar het belangrijkste, meest onderscheidende van de roman is de rijke, poëtische taal waarin hij is geschreven. Woolfs onnavolgbare stijl weerspiegelt het innerlijke leven, de gedachten en gevoelens van de personages, hun streven en sneven, hun triomf en spijt, hun eenzaamheid. En hun levensvragen. Misschien nog meer dan haar andere romans toont De golven de complexiteit van het leven op aarde. Kenners en critici beschouwen deze roman als het hoogtepunt van Woolfs experimenten met lyrische techniek. De golven bestaat uit innerlijke monologen van zes personages die betrekking hebben op strand en zee, van ochtend tot avond. De gevoelens en gedachten doen aan elkaar denken. Zo schept Woolf een volstrekt uniek universum: poëtisch en menselijk en van alle tijden.

The Lady and the Little Fox Fur
Leduc's short book is magnificently disproportionate to its length. A moving, beautiful and authentic classic. We must be grateful to the Penguin European Writers series, a precious venture in these dark times, for bringing it back to us.

Orlando
Orlando has sometimes been dismissed as a romp. As a less important book than Mrs Dalloway or To the Lighthouse. This is to misread it. It was far ahead of its time in terms of gender politics and gender progress

Mrs. Dalloway
Clarissa Dalloway is begin vijftig, elegant en de perfecte gastvrouw, maar ze voelt zich oud en uitgerangeerd. Haar man is succesvol, maar saai, en haar volwassen dochter heeft haar zorg niet meer nodig. Op een dag komt Clarissa, terwijl zij bloemen koopt voor het feest van die avond, haar voormalige aanbidder Peter tegen, die zij in een ver verleden heeft afgewezen. Wat zou er van haar geworden zijn als ze dertig jaar eerder voor een avontuurlijk leven met Peter had gekozen? Het verhaal van Mrs Dalloway speelt zich af op één dag in juni 1923, de dag van het feest dat eindigt in een drama. Het is een virtuoos gecomponeerde roman vol herinneringen en bespiegelingen over de waarde van het leven en de onomkeerbaarheid van onze keuzes.

Jacob's Room
Jacob, of whom people speak, of whom they think, but who is never shown. And yet that denial of presence on the part of the author makes of him one of the most living presences in world literature. It’s a remarkable achievement.—New StatesmanVirginia Woolf stands as the chief figure of modernism in England and must be included with Joyce and Proust in the realisation of experimental achievements that have completely broken with tradition—New York Times
