A Pearl of a novel

Claudia

Virginia Woolf does not need introductions; she is the legacy she herself built. My favourite books are by her, but, somehow, “night and day” was one of those that I forgot it existed until I read it. This incredible Pearl of a novel was Woolf’s window into the future of literature. She based this story on her sister, Vanessa Bell, and, by the looks of it, she told a feminist story before feminism was a mainstream topic. Her writing, as always, is superb and unique; her characters are as subtle and nuanced stereotypes of Victorian times as they can be. If you’re a big literature junkie, highly recommend it!

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.
