Paperback. Condizione: Fair. The story of a man's life from a day in his childhood to the day of his death. Here Virginia Woolf tracks Jacob Flanders from a Cornish beach where he clutches a sheep's skull to the stone court of Trinity College. The novel discards the customary scaffolding of narrative. London surrounds him with bustling music halls and political crowds beneath the clock of Westminster. The author follows his journey onwards to the columns of the Acropolis, while the rumblings of European conflict begin to gather. The portrait remains singular. "Jacob's Room.comes as a tremendous surprise. The impossible has occurred. The style closely resembles that of Kew Gardens.The break with Night and Day and even with The Voyage Out is complete. A new type of fiction has swum into view" (E. M. Forster). Coming of Age: From youthful butterfly hunting on the moors to navigating an offshore gale with Timmy Durrant, Jacob's journey traces the intellectual and worldly education of an Edwardian youth. Family Life: At home in Scarborough, the widowed Betty Flanders herds geese, consults with Captain Barfoot, and pours out her domestic anxieties in tear-stained letters to her sons. Multiple POV: Jacob is assembled through the partial impressions of those who know him, from his Cambridge intimate Richard Bonamy to the artist's model Fanny Elmer reading Henry Fielding in Charing Cross Road. Slow Burn: Amid the rigid etiquette of the London Season, Clara Durrant quietly clips greenhouse grapes and hides her deepening feelings behind polite society manners.
