A masterpiece like no other

Cláudia

Virginia Woolf does not need an introduction, nor does she need a detailed explanation of her talents: it's all right there in her writings. "Mrs Dalloway" is one of those books that brings out Woolf's fluidity and ritmic writting style. Her words, more than a vehicle for the narrative, are able to capture each and every moment as if it were a photograph that's long gone; and, in doing so, chains the reader to that exact moment and those exact thoughts, so that they can understand the timelessness of it all; the basis of all human emotion throughout time and place. "Mrs Dalloway" might seem like a simple linear story, but it is in the distillation of the linear where the heart of the book lies ("a whole life in one day"); it is in the distillation of the sadness and despair where one finds an eternal second of happiness. More than a tragedy, this book is a scream of hope and a timeless guideline to happiness.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf nasceu em Londres a 25 de janeiro de 1882, filha de Sir Leslie Stephen, escritor e historiador ilustre da Inglaterra vitoriana. Desde cedo ligada a grupos de intelectuais, casou em 1912 com Leonard Woolf e com ele fundou a editora Hogarth Press, responsável pela revelação de autores como Katherine Mansfield e T. S. Eliot e pela publicação das suas próprias obras. Reconhecida como uma das mais proeminentes figuras do modernismo britânico, destacam-se entre os seus trabalhos os romances Mrs Dalloway (1925), Orlando (1928) e As Ondas (1931), assim como o ensaio Um Quarto que Seja Seu (1929). Após sucessivas crises depressivas e não suportando o isolamento provocado pelo agravar da Segunda Guerra Mundial, suicida-se a 28 de março de 1941, em Lewes.
