Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The story of a man's life from a day in his childhood to the day of his death. "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). Set in the halcyon days of pre-World War I innocence, 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 sun-scorched landscape of Greece, his character is revealed in a stream of loosely related incidents, thoughts, and impressions.

Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Condition: Nuevo. Los relatos de este volumen contienen ejemplos de lo que Virginia Woolf llamaba ?momentos de existencia?, en los que un personaje es plenamente consciente. En Kew Gardens, ambientada en el famoso jardín botánico de Londres, parece traducir verbalmente un cuadro impresionista. El movimiento de un caracol entre las flores, la forma y color de un pétalo, o las conversaciones fragmentarias de distintos paseantes, se funden en una estructura de cajas chinas que se proyecta desde el detalle minúsculo hasta los ?murmullos? de la gran ciudad que los contiene todos. Edición bilingüe español-inglés. Incluye CD.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. An imaginative selection of short stories from around the world celebrating gardens and gardeners.Spectacular gardens are viewed from the perspective of a snail in Virginia Woolf's 'Kew Gardens' and from that of a sheltered teenage girl in Katherine Mansfield's 'The Garden Party'. The family of Doris Lessing's 'Flavours of Exile' haul succulent vegetables and fruits from the rich African soil, and Colette in 'Bygone Spring' luxuriates in extravagantly blooming flowers. Children discover their own peculiar paradises in Sandra Cisneros's 'The Monkey Garden' and Italo Calvino's 'The Enchanted Garden', while adult gardeners find things that move and haunt them in William Maxwell's 'The French Scarecrow' and Jamaica Kincaid's 'The Garden I Have in Mind'.Gardens of the mind round out the anthology- the beautiful but fatal garden of Nathaniel Hawthorne's 'Rappaccini's Daughter', the crystal buds of J. G. Ballard's 'The Garden of Time', ravenous orchids in John Collier's 'Green Thoughts', and Aoko Matsuda's 'Planting', in which a young woman plants each day whatever she has been given - roses and violets, buttons and broken cups, love and fear and sorrow.An entrancing book for everyone who loves gardens and the beauty of nature.

Condition: Muy bueno. This volume contains sixteen examples of the English short story at its best: immediately captivating and hugely entertaining. Some stories are classics, such as James Joyce?s ?The Dead?; others ? like ?Mr Loveday?s Little Outing? by Evelyn Waugh ? are relatively unknown and a joy to discover. The collection also includes Charles Dickens? premonitory tale, ?The Signalman? which was inspired by his own horrific experiences in a train crash. Katherine Mansfield?s ?The Voyage?, meanwhile, is a sensual narrative centring on a boat journey and set in her native New Zealand. Virginia Woolf?s ?Kew Gardens? is different again, dramatically evoking its setting, awash with colour and light. Tragic or comic, traditional or modernist, each and every piece demonstrates perfectly how the short story form can be as engaging and satisfying as a novel, if not more so.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Catalán. «Mentre nosaltres paríem criatures, ells, suposàvem, parien llibres i pintures. Nosaltres hem poblat el món. Ells l?han civilitzat. » Una societat és un grup de dones que es reuneix per dilucidar si el que pensen, escriuen i fan els homes mereix que elles continuïn portant fills al món. Les dones ja no en tenen prou amb fer el paper d?úter del planeta i ara que han après a llegir, ¿què els impedeix jutjar-ne els resultats? A les Memòries d?una novel lista hi plana la vida i l?obra d?una autora, imaginària i mediocre. La biògrafa l?enyora perquè els diumenges tenien el costum d?anar a Kew Gardens, on passegen els homes i les dones. I també els cargols, que veuen com se?ls omple la closca de colors. Escrits entre el 1909 i el 1921, els tres contes ens parlen del paper de les dones, de la guerra o de l?art. Al segle XXI, Vivian Gornick afirma que un dels problemes de les dones és que dormen amb l?enemic. Entre elles, hi ha un fil de lluites i reivindicacions que Woolf ha ajudat a tensar com cap altra escriptora no ho havia fet abans. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. La antología definitiva de la narrativa breve de Virginia Woolf, concebida por la propia autora en la última etapa de su vida La casa encantada y otros cuentos es la antología definitiva de narrativa breve de Virginia Woolf, concebida por la autora a finales de los años treinta y publicada tres años después de su muerte, en 1943. En sus páginas se encuentran los primeros cuentos que Woolf dio a la imprenta en el volumen Lunes o martes (1921), así como la mayoría de los relatos que publicó en revistas y periódicos durante las dos décadas siguientes, sin que falten los inéditos. El conjunto, un contrapunto perfecto de las novelas famosas, ofrece una muestra de sus temas recurrentes y arroja luz sobre la evolución de sus brillantes experimentos con las formas narrativas. El volumen contiene los siguientes relatos: «La casa encantada» «Lunes o martes» «Una novela no escrita» «El cuarteto de cuerda» «Kew Gardens» «La mancha en la pared» «El vestido nuevo» «La cacería» «Lappin y Lapinova» «Objetos sólidos» «La señora en el espejo» «La duquesa y el joyero» «Momentos de vida» «El hombre que amaba al prójimo» «El foco» «El legado» «Juntos y separados» «Un resumen» La crítica ha dicho: «Cuentos tan perfectos y funcionales, con toda su belleza, como las telarañas. De hecho, fueron creados con un propósito similar: atrapar y diseccionar bocados de vida en forma de palpitantes momentos, percepciones instantáneas, breves visiones». Eudora Welty, The New York Times Book Review «Con Joyce y Eliot, Woolf dio forma a un siglo literario». Jeanette Winterson, The Times «Virginia Woolf es la principal figura del modernismo en Inglaterra y, con Joyce y Proust, llevó a cabo experimentos que rompieron completamente con la tradición». The New York Times «Una de las grandes innovadoras de la gran década del modernismo literario, los años veinte». The Guardian *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente. No aceptamos pedidos con destino a Ceuta y Melilla.

Eliot en ?un montón de imágenes rotas? que van desde el movimiento perezoso de un caracol a las conversaciones de los paseantes por el jardín. En "Una casa encantada" hace suyo el tradicional cuento de fantasmas. Una pareja es visitada por unos espectros que ponen en evidencia el mundo vacío y superficial de los protagonistas. En el tercer cuento, "La marca en la pared" hace uso del monólogo escrito en primera persona para hacernos volar de un recuerdo a otro teniendo como origen la marca en la pared de su habitación.

Book First Edition
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A generous "Contexts" section provides extracts from Woolf's diaries and letters as well as comments on the novel from her fellow writers and friends, among them E. M. Forster and T. S. Eliot. Also included are the short stories "The Mark on the Wall," "Kew Gardens," and "An Unwritten Novel," which Woolf viewed as early experiments with the innovative method used in Jacob's Room. An additional short story, "A Woman's College from Outside," which Woolf originally intended to be Chapter 10 of Jacob's Room, is also included. Finally, Woolf's classic essay "Modern Novels," written shortly before she began work on Jacob's Room, provides insight into her aesthetic and technique. "Criticism" is divided into two sections: "Contemporary Reception and Reviews" contains personal responses to the novel, from Lytton Strachey and E. M. Forster, as well as eleven reviews from contemporary periodicals. "Critical Essays" offers insightful interpretations by Judy Little, Alex Zwerdling, Kate Flint, Kathleen Wall, and Edward L. Bishop. A Selected Bibliography is also included. Jacobs Room is Virginia Woolfs experimental third novel, set in England during the halcyon days before World War I. The text reprinted here is the first British edition, which Woolf approved, and which retains her original layout, including paragraph spacing.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The late novels and stories of Americas greatest myth-maker and chronicler of the Jewish American experienceIs Malamud an American Master? Of course. He not only wrote in the American language, he augmented it with fresh plasticity, he shaped our English into startling new configurations. Cynthia Ozick[A] short-story writer who is better than any of them, including myself. Flannery OConnorThe long-awaited third and final volume of Library of Americas edition of Bernard Malamuds writings brings together three novels and thirteen stories of the 1970s and 80s that reaffirm his place in the American pantheon. The Tenants (1971) chronicles the growing tensions between two male writersone Jewish, the other Blackwho are the only inhabitants of a crumbling Manhattan tenement house. Dubins Lives (1976) is a fascinating portrait of a middle-aged biographer who becomes involved with a woman half his age while researching a life of D.H. Lawrencean affair that unsettles things in expected and unexpected ways. Gods Grace (1982) is a wildly inventive, darkly humorous postapocalyptic novel whose cast includes the lone human survivor of the Day of Devastation, a group of talking chimps, and other (speechless) primateswho try to establish a New Covenant with God. The stories in this volume confirm Malamud as a master storyteller, from the Kafkaesque unbridled fantasy of Talking Horse to the final fictive biographies of In Kew Gardens, about Virginia Woolf, and Alma Redeemed, about the Austrian composer Alma Mahler. Rounding out the volume are Long Work, Short Life, Malamuds hard-to-find casual memoir about his writing life, and the previously unpublished A Lost Bar-Mitzvah, a poignant sketch of Malamuds own childhood. This deluxe edition includes a chronology of Malamud's life and career and detailed notes by Malamud biographer Philip Davis.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Es sabido que Virginia Woolf solía emplear sus cuentos con frecuencia para experimentar con temas y modelos narrativos que incorporaba más tarde a la escritura de sus novelas. Esta selección, elaborada y prologada por Menchu Gutiérrez, reúne veintitrés piezas escogidas de entre el medio centenar que la autora concibiese entre 1906 y 1941 (de las cuales, sólo dieciocho fueron publicadas en vida), en una nueva traducción a cargo de Amelia Pérez de Villar. Comoquiera que Woolf pusiese a prueba los límites de la literatura en su ficción breve, desarrollando un nuevo lenguaje de sensaciones, emociones y pensamientos y recreando en palabras el «enjambre y la confusión de la vida», el presente volumen --con cuentos que abarcan desde el estilo narrativo más tradicional de «Objetos materiales» hasta la exploración abstracta de la conciencia de «Una marca en la pared», pasando por el frágil impresionismo de «Kew Gardens»-- constituye una excelente oportunidad para ahondar en la obra de la que fue sin duda la escritora más decisiva del pasado siglo. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
