'Her first full work of the charged Modernism that would come to define her' Paris Review
Jacob Flanders is a young man passing from adolescence to adulthood in a hazy rite of passage. From his boyhood on the windswept shores of Cornwall to his days as a student in Cambridge, his elusive, chameleon-like character is gradually revealed in a stream of loosely related incidents and impressions: whether through his mother's letters, his friend's conversations, or the thoughts of the women who adore him. Then we glimpse him as a young man in 1914, caught under the glare of a London streetlamp as Europe is on the brink of war. This tantalizing novel heralded Woolf's departure from the traditional methods of the novel, with its experimental play between time and reality, memory and desire.

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Set in the halcyon days of pre-World War I innocence, Jacob's Room, Virginia Woolf's third novel, follows the progress of a young man as he moves from adolescence to adulthood in a hazy rite of passage. Wandering through the windswept shores of Cornwall to the sunscorched landscape of Greece, his character is revealed in a stream of loosely related incidents, thoughts, and impressions: "Listless is the air in an empty room, just swelling the curtain; the flowers in the jar shift. One fibre in the wicker armchair creaks, though no one sits there." Imparted in a poetic prose style reflecting her experiments with reality, memory, and time, Jacob's Room signals Woolf's bold departure from the traditional methods of the English novel.
