Virginia Woolf wanted to write about the vast unknown uncertain continent that is the world and us in it Jeanette Winterson, from her introduction to The Waves The Waves is an astonishingly beautiful and poetic novel. It begins with six children playing in a garden by the sea and follows their lives as they grow up and experience friendship, love and grief at the death of their beloved friend Percival. Weaving together soliloquies from the novel s six characters, Woolf delicately and expertly explores universal concepts such as individuality, the self, and community. A novel still as poignant today as it was when written.

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.

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.

A formally innovative work of modernist fiction, Virginia Woolf s The Waves is edited with an introduction by Kate Flint in Penguin Modern Classics.More than any of Virginia Woolf s other novels, The Waves conveys the full complexity and richness of human experience. Tracing the lives of a group of friends, The Waves follows their development from childhood to youth and middle age. While social events, individual achievements and disappointments form its narrative, the novel is most remarkable for the rich poetic language that expresses the inner life of its characters: their aspirations, their triumphs and regrets, their awareness of unity and isolation. Separately and together, they query the relationship of past to present, and the meaning of life itself.Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) is regarded as a major 20th century author and essayist, a key figure in literary history as a feminist and modernist, and 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. 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.If you enjoyed The Waves, you might like Woolf s Mrs Dalloway, also available in Penguin Classics.
