Synopsis "El Lector Común (in Spanish)"

Los ensayos y pensamientos sobre literatura de la extraordinaria Virginia Woolf, el complemento ideal a la lectura de su obra narrativa.

"Virginia Woolf es dios, nadie ha escrito mejor."Milena Busquets

Además de una de las escritoras más importantes y renovadoras de la literatura del siglo XX, Virginia Woolf fue una lectora muy aguda, capaz de iluminar con su impagable sentido común textos y cuestiones literarias de diversa índole.

La presente selección supone un recorrido cabal por las lecturas que formaron a la gran escritora británica. Defoe, Jane Austen, las Brontë, George Eliot, Conrad, Sterne o Thomas Hardy son algunos de los autores que desfilan ante la mirada de Woolf, siempre atenta al detalle revelador, dueña de una incomparable habilidad para hablar al común de los mortales de cuestiones a menudo complejas pero siempre apasionantes.

Estos ensayos constituyen el complemento ideal a la lectura de la obra narrativa de Virginia Woolf, cuya riqueza y originalidad se agranda a la luz de estos comentarios, una verdadera fiesta del gusto y la inteligencia.

Reseña:"Virginia Woolf sostuvo la luz de la lengua inglesa contra la oscuridad."E. M. Forster

Virginia Woolf was born in London on January 25, 1882, and died on March 28, 1941, drowned in the River Ouse. After her father's death, the well-known man of letters Sir Leslie Stephen, Virginia and her sister Vanessa left the elegant Kensington neighborhood and moved to the bohemian Bloomsbury, which named the brilliant literary group formed around the Stephen sisters. Among its members were T. S. Eliot, Bertrand Russell, Vita Sackville-West, and the writer Leonard Woolf, whom Virginia married and with whom she ran the prestigious Hogarth Press. From her early works, Virginia Woolf highlighted her intention to take novels beyond mere narration. In Mrs. Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927), the author expressed the inner feelings of the characters with her own techniques, achieving great psychological effects through images, metaphors, and symbols. Her technique was consolidated with Orlando (1931) and The Waves (1931), which secured her an indisputable place within the finest world literature. Additionally, Woolf wrote essays as famous as A Room of One's Own (1929), which still inspires new generations of women today, literary criticism articles like those compiled in The Common Reader (1925, 1932) and in Genius and Ink (2021), or the biography of the English poet Elizabeth Barrett's dog, Flush (1933). All these works are published by Lumen.
