Synopsis "LA VIUDA Y EL LORO (in Spanish)"

La viuda y el loro es un encantador cuento sobre el amor a los animales que fue escrito por Virgina Woolf expresamente para el diario familiar que editaban sus sobrinos. Narra la historia de una viuda que recibe por herencia una casa ruinosa y un astuto loro. Se trata de una pequeña muestra del talento de su autora y de su capacidad de construir historias que mantienen el suspense hasta el final y nos sorprenden en su desarrollo.Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) nació en Londres y fue la tercera de cuatro hermanos. Su padre procuró que recibiera una educación diferente a habitual en la época, lo que hizo de ella una niña especial, melancólica y observadora. Desde muy joven, sintió la necesidad de escribir diarios en los que describía sus emociones y su visión del mundo que la rodeaba. Hoy día está considerada como una de las escritoras más importantes del siglo XX. Entre sus obras cabe destacar Orlando y La señora Dalloway.

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.
