Synopsis "Londres (in Spanish)"

Un personaje de «Noche y día», la segunda novela de Virginia Woolf, confiesa que todo el mundo le parece un poco raro, y añade: «tal vez sea el efecto de Londres». La capital inglesa no es solo el telón de fondo de gran parte de la obra de Woolf, sino que se erige como un personaje más de sus historias. Pero en el libro que tienes en tus manos son las multitudes en sus calles, la magnificencia de sus catedrales, la majestad de sus instituciones y el ritmo de la vida de sus gentes los protagonistas absolutos. Publicados entre 1927 y 1950, estos ocho textos nos invitan a dar un inolvidable paseo por el Londres de principios del siglo XX que empieza con la búsqueda de un lápiz y acaba contemplando la ciudad desde la vista privilegiada de los cielos. La mirada única de Woolf, unida a la del pintor Arnau Sánchez Campamà, consiguen capturar ese embriagador «efecto de Londres». «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.
