Synopsis "Kew Gardens (in Spanish)"

Tres relatos de Virginia Woolf son los que componen este libro y que muestran lo que a ella le gustaba denominar momentos de existencia. En ellos, personajes y acciones quedan supeditados a imágenes poéticas, alejadas de las banalidades de la vida. En «Kew Gardens» ambientado en el fabuloso jardín botánico de Londres, nos introduce, como diría T. S. Eliott, en «un montón de imágenes rotas» que van desde el movimiento perezoso de un caracol a las conversaciones de los paseantes por el jardín. En «Una casa encantada», publicado por primera vez en la antología Monday or Tuesday, reescribe un tradicional cuento de fantasmas. Una pareja recibe la visita de unos espectros que ponen en evidencia el mundo de lo superficial. En el tercer cuento, «La marca en la pared», hace uso del monólogo escrito en primera persona para hacernos volar de un recuerdo a otro, teniendo como origen la marca en la pared de su habitación. Acompañan a estos magníficos cuentos las ilustraciones de Elena Ferrándiz, que consiguen sumergirnos en el personal mundo de Virginia Woolf a través de un trabajo lleno de metáforas y símbolos maravillosos.

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.
