Los Pargiter, una típica familia burguesa, recorren en este audiolibro un periodo de tiempo comprendido entre los últimos estertores de la era victoriana y los primeros años treinta.

Partant de l'analyse des interdits misogynes, solides remparts d'une supériorité masculine dont la réalité paraît sérieusement ébranlée, Virginia Woolf définit les conditions d'existence et la spécificité de la création pour les femmes. Il faut d'abord "une chambre à soi", dont la portée va bien au-delà du matériel. Il suffit d'entrer dans n'importe quelle chambre de n'importe quelle rue pour que se jette à votre face toute cette force extrêmement complexe de la féminité.

Flush è un cane fortunato. Un cocker spaniel delle più nobili origini che nasce nella verdissima campagna inglese e che diventerà l'animale da compagnia della celebre poetessa Elizabeth Browning.

The Ramsey family, with house guests, visit the Isle of Skye at least twice. The plot is not at all the point though, as this is a book about how people think and feel and relate. There’s insight into the world of childhood thought and emotion, and a variety of views of adult care and perceptions. I hope this doesn’t make it sound ‘difficult’, it doesn’t need to be–just let the sentences flow and make your own sense of the words. It’s perhaps as close as a novel can come to the highly individual experience of looking at a painting.

"To the Lighthouse" è uno dei romanzi più famosi di Virginia Woolf, scritto nel 1927. Il romanzo è tutto incentrato sul flusso di pensieri dei protagonisti, in cui la percezione del mondo esterno e del mondo interno si confondono, e colori e paesaggi interiori e esteriori si mescolano in modo unico, e reso forse possibile dall’atmosfera rarefatta dell'isola di Sky. Il mondo femminile è analizzato, sezionato, sofferto e compatito visceralmente dall'autrice.

Baseado em palestras proferidas por Virginia Woolf nas faculdades de Newham e Girton em 1928, o ensaio Um teto todo seu é uma reflexão acerca das condições sociais da mulher e a sua influência na produção literária feminina. A escritora pontua em que medida a posição que a mulher ocupa na sociedade acarreta dificuldades para a expressão livre de seu pensamento, para que essa expressão seja transformada em uma escrita sem sujeição e, finalmente, para que essa escrita seja recebida com consideração, em vez da indiferença comumente reservada à escrita feminina na época.

In A Room of One’s Own, Virginia Woolf’s classic six-part essay, the iconic Modernist writer takes on the misogyny of writing, publishing, and creativity in her time. Through the imagined sister of William Shakespeare, who in her argument possesses the same talent and intellect as the famous playwright, Woolf lays out the fundamental truth that one requires room to express creativity and time to explore and see it through. Genius unexpressed is genius nonetheless, and had Shakespeare’s sister the means to make her own art, she would have had the same lasting legacy as her brother.

There is something about the number 3. The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two. Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.
