Voyage Out Woolf Virginia
Autor : Virginia Woolf, Popis : Helen and Ridley Ambrose are preparing to set off for an exotic resort off the coast of South America on the Euphrosyne, a ship belonging to Helen's brother-in-law Willoughby Vinacre. Along the way other people join on board, such as the upper-class Clarissa and Richard Dalloway and the scholar William Pepper. Also travelling with them is his daughter Rachel - a quiet, unremarkable girl raised in the London suburbs by her spinster aunts after the death of her mother.
Published in 1915 after a long period of gestation and several drafts, The Voyage Out marks Virginia Woolf's debut as a novelist. As Rachel interacts with the other passengers, intrigued by their different personalities, it becomes clear that what started for her as a mere sea voyage is turning into a journey of self-discovery and a rite of passage that will change her for ever, transforming her into a fully fledged woman. Perhaps the most conventional and accessible of her major works, it is essential both for understanding the early development of her style and for the light it sheds into her own biography and artistic vision.Druh sortimentu : Kniha, Název : The Voyage Out, Jazyk : Angličtina, Počet strán : 432
