Ответ Вирджинии Вулф на поставленный в письме вопрос о том, "как нам предотвратить войну?". Выдающийся анализ причин и последствий исключения женщин из британской культурной, политической и экономической жизни. Изначально произведение задумывалось как роман-эссе, в котором будут чередоваться главы вымышленного и публицистического повествования, демонстрируя взгляды Вулф на войну и женщин. Когда писательница поняла, что эта идея не работает, она разделила текст на две части: роман "Годы" и эссе "Три гинеи". Впервые на русском языке.

Роман, который навсегда перевернёт ваше представление об определенных вещах! Изысканный роман, в котором смешиваются и переплетаются времена действия, а лето, проведенное состоятельным семейством Рэмзи на острове Скай, оказывается своеобразной британской «хроникой утраченного времени» – хрупкого, почти идиллического времени, обреченного на скорое разрушение Первой мировой войной. Вырастут дети – кто-то уцелеет и повзрослеет, кто-то сложит голову на полях сражений. Забудутся мелкие неудачи и обиды. Будет заброшен старый дом, зарастет сад. Но воплотится ли в жизнь хоть для кого-то из детей Рэмзи мечта о поездке на далекий маяк?.. © Перевод. Е. Суриц, наследники, 2016 © Оформление.

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.Clarissa Dalloway is a woman of high-society – vivacious, hospitable and sociable on the surface, yet underneath troubled and dissatisfied with her life in post-war Britain. This disillusionment is an emotion that bubbles under the surface of all of Woolf’s characters in Mrs Dalloway.Centred around one day in June where Clarissa is preparing for and holding a party, her interior monologue mingles with those of the other central characters in a stream of consciousness, entwining, yet never actually overriding the pervading sense of isolation that haunts each person.One of Virginia Woolf’s most accomplished novels, Mrs Dalloway is widely regarded as one of the most revolutionary works of the 20th century in its style and the themes that it tackles. The sense that Clarissa has married the wrong person, her past love for another female friend and the death of an intended party guest all serve to amplify this stultifying existence.

JACOB’S ROOM, Virginia Woolf’s third novel, marks her first foray into Modernist experimentation. The narrative traces Jacob’s childhood in Cornwall and his education at Cambridge, culminating in an evocative portrait of his adult life in London and abroad. Jacob is romantically torn between the artistic Florinda, the upper-middle-class Clara Durrant and the beautiful, but married, Sandra Wentworth Williams. This tissue of romance, though, is torn apart by the cataclysmic events of the First World War.Woolf poignantly depicts the life of Jacob through a sequence of alternating perspectives that combine letters, fragments of dialogue and the ephemeral impressions of those nearest to him. Jacob’s voice becomes the absent centre of one of Modernism’s first great novels.

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.‘Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind…’Based on a lecture given at Cambridge and first published in 1929, ‘A Room of One’s Own’ interweaves Woolf’s personal experience as a female writer with themes ranging from Austen and Brontë to Shakespeare’s gifted (and imaginary) sister. ‘Three Guineas’, Woolf’s most impassioned polemic, came almost a decade later and broke new ground by challenging the very notions of war and masculinity.This volume combines two inspirational, witty and urbane essays from one of literature’s pre-eminent voices; collectively they constitute a brilliant and lucid attack on sexual inequality.
