Kde se rozmanitost setkává s hodnotou - Katalo.cz

In this extraordinary essay, Virginia Woolf examines the limitations of womanhood in the early twentieth century. With the startling prose and poetic licence of a novelist, she makes a bid for freedom, emphasizing that the lack of an independent income, and the titular `room of one's own', prevents most women from reaching their full literary potential. As relevant in its insight and indignation today as it was when first delivered in those hallowed lecture theatres, A Room of One's Own remains both a beautiful work of literature and an incisive analysis of women and their place in the world. This Macmillan Collector's Library edition of A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf features an afterword by the British art historian Frances Spalding. Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure.

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.

''But, you may say, we asked you to speak about women and fiction - what has that got to do with a room of one''s own?''A Room of One''s Own grew out of a lecture that Virginia Woolf had been invited to give at Girton College, Cambridge in 1928 and became a landmark work of feminist thought. Covering everything from why a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write, to authors such as Jane Austen, Aphra Behn and the Brontë sisters, and the tragic story of Shakespeare''s fictional sister Judith, it remains a passionate assertion for female creativity and independence in a world dominated by men.

Virginia Woolf's only autobiographical writing is to be found in this collection of five unpublished pieces. Despite Quentin Bell's comprehensive biography and numerous recent studies of her, the author's own account of her early life holds new fascination - for its unexpected detail, the strength of its emotion, and its clear-sighted judgement of Victorian values. In 'Reminiscences' Virginia Woolf focuses on the death of her mother, 'the greatest disaster that could happen', and its effect on her father, the demanding patriarch who took a high toll of the women in his household. She surveys some of the same ground in 'A Sketch of the Past', the most important memoir in this collection, which she wrote with greater detachment and supreme command of her art shortly before her death. Readers will be struck by the extent to which she drew on these early experiences for her novels, as she tells how she exorcised the obsessive presence of her mother by writing To the Lighthouse. The last three papers were composed to be read to the Memoir Club, a postwar regrouping of Bloomsbury, which exacted absolute candour of its members. Virginia Woolf's contributions were not only bold but also original and amusing. She describes George Duckworth's passionate efforts to launch the Stephen girls; gives her own version of 'Old Bloomsbury'; and, with wit and some malice, reflects on her connections with titled society.

První román proslulé anglické spisovatelky vyšel v roce 1915 a Woolfová na něm pracovala v době, která pro ni byla neobvykle těžká, a kdy trpěla opakujícími se depresemi. Dílo si drží tradiční románovou podobu, ale již v sobě skrývá zárodky toho, co zdobí autorčinu vrcholnou tvorbu: inovativní vypravěčský styl, vhled do ženské psychiky, téma sexuality a smrti.V roce 1920 si Virginia Woolfová do deníku napsala: „Každý den od dvanácti do jedné si čtu Plavbu... je to taková směsice obrazů – místy jasně srozumitelných a vážných – místy hravých a povrchních – místy pravdivých jako slovo Boží – místy silných a plynoucích lehce a dokonale... Nad nedostatky se rdím studem, a pak věta, jasnozřivě vyjádřená představa mi tváře rozpálí úplně jiným pocitem. Vlastně musím tu mladou ženu obdivovat: jak odvážně se vrhá přes překážky – a psát tedy opravdu umí, to se jí musí nechat!“

Román Orlando (Orlando, č. 1994) z roku 1928 hrál pro autorku zcela zásadní roli, patrně je to i nejdelší milostný dopis, který kdy v literatuře vznikl, a Woolfová jej píše sobě samé. Orlando je téměř nesmrtelná bytost, na své cestě prochází dějinami od počátku sedmnáctého století, doby Alžběty I., až do století dvacátého, což dává autorce prostor vyjádřit se k postupným proměnám společenských mravů. Orlando se proměňuje z muže v ženu, aby jí už navždy zůstal. Autorka se v této impresionisticky laděné próze snaží o zachycení prchavého okamžiku a zároveň o propojení minulosti a přítomnosti a významně analyzuje otázky genderu, identity a tvořivosti. Snímek Orlando z roku 1992 je pokusem Sally Potterové přetlumočit do filmové řeči tento fantastický, fiktivní román a díky skvělým hereckým výkonům a esteticky neobyčejně vytříbené inscenaci je považován za vynikající literární adaptaci, jakkoliv nebylo snadné přenést na odlišné médium všechny vzájemně se překrývající časové roviny románové předlohy.Orlando je téměř nesmrtelná bytost, na své cestě prochází dějinami od počátku sedmnáctého století, doby Alžběty I., až do století dvacátého, což dává autorce prostor vyjádřit se k postupným proměnám společenských mravů.

''A fantasy, impossible but delicious ... an exuberance of life and wit'' The Times Literary SupplementFirst masculine, then feminine, Orlando begins life as a young sixteenth-century nobleman, then gallops through the centuries to end up as a woman writer in Virginia Woolf''s own time. Written for the charismatic, bisexual writer Vita Sackville-West, this playful mock biography of a chameleon-like historical figure is both a wry commentary on gender and, in Woolf''s own words, a ''writer''s holiday'' which delights in its ambiguity and capriciousness.Edited by Brenda Lyons with an Introduction and Notes by Sandra M.

Vyprávění o jednom dni hlavní hrdinky, chystající se uspořádat večírek, paralelně doprovázejí popisy pocitů jejích přátel a známých, zároveň s pozorováním pohybu všech zúčastněných po Londýně, záznam detailů světla, změn přírody, zvuků města. Autorka o své knize prozradila, že jde současně o svět viděný očima duševně zdravých a šílených. Třebaže jedna z postav během vyprávění ukončí sebevraždou svůj život, výsledným dojmem z díla je pocit radosti ze života, a jak píše v doslovu Martin Hilský: nejhlouběji se vryje do paměti atmosféra toho nádherného červnového rána, kterým prochází drobná, prošedivělá žena s kyticí hrachorů v ruce. "Jsem paní Dallowayová," jako by říkala, "chyť si mě, můžeš-li."

When Mrs Ramsay tells her guests at her summer house on the Isle of Skye that they will be able to visit the nearby lighthouse the following day, little does she know that this trip will only be completed ten years later by her husband, and that a gulf of war, grief and loss will have opened in the meantime. As each character tries to readjust their memories and emotions with the shifts of time and reality, this long-delayed excursion will also prove to be a journey of self-discovery and fulfilment for them. Rich in symbolism, daring in style, elegiac in tone and encapsulating Virginia Woolf's ideas on life, art and human relationships, To the Lighthouse is a landmark of twentieth-century literature and one of the high points of early Modernism.

With an Introduction and Notes by Merry M. Pawlowski, Professor and Chair, Department of English, California State University, Bakersfield. Virginia Woolf's Orlando 'The longest and most charming love letter in literature', playfully constructs the figure of Orlando as the fictional embodiment of Woolf's close friend and lover, Vita Sackville-West. Spanning three centuries, the novel opens as Orlando, a young nobleman in Elizabeth's England, awaits a visit from the Queen and traces his experience with first love as England under James I lies locked in the embrace of the Great Frost. At the midpoint of the novel, Orlando, now an ambassador in Costantinople, awakes to find that he is a woman, and the novel indulges in farce and irony to consider the roles of women in the 18th and 19th centuries. As the novel ends in 1928, a year consonant with full suffrage for women. Orlando, now a wife and mother, stands poised at the brink of a future that holds new hope and promise for women.

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.
