Synopsis "Las Excentricas (in Spanish)"

La relación entre Virginia Woolf y la excentricidad era peculiar. .Desde el primer momento se vio que ella era incalculable, excentrica y propensa a los accidentes., señala su sobrino, el historiador de arte Quentin Bell. Su aspecto, su ropa y, en suma, ella misma podían generar impresiones encontradas. .Tenia una presencia que la volvía notable de inmediato., dice Madge Garland, legendaria editora de Vogue, al recordar la primera vez que la vió, en los años veinte. Pero lo que también le llamo la atención fue que esa mujer elegante y distinguida llevara puesto .lo que solo podría describirse como un cesto de basura dado vuelta en la cabeza.. Matias Battiston Si al llegar más o menos a los cuarenta años les parece que otras distinciones se desdibujan en lugar de nimbarlos de gloria, tal vez valga la pena que investiguen, suponiendo que insistan en llevar algun título, que se puede hacer en aras de la excentricidad. Aunque dejennos advertirles que el fracaso es probable. Virginia Woolf.

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.
