Una profunda reflexión sobre las mujeres, la sociedad, la literatura y lo que importa en la vida.
Un cuarto propio, escrito hace casi un siglo, sigue llegando al corazón de las mujeres de hoy. ¿Por qué?

Such an expression of unhappiness was enough by itself to make one's eyes slide above the paper's edge to the poor woman's face-insignificant without that look, almost a symbol of human destiny with it. Life's what you see in people's eyes; life's what they learn, and, having learnt it, never, though they seek to hide it, cease to be aware of-what? That life's like that, it seems. Five faces opposite-five mature faces-and the knowledge in each face....

Throughout her life, Virginia Woolf worked and reworked short story ideas, trying to encapsulate her thoughts perfectly in a concise form, but rarely did she publish them. This volume brings together the stories from her own collection 'Monday or Tuesday', together with stories that later appeared individually in magazines and those from amongst her papers that her widower, Leonard, thought sufficiently polished to put before her readers.

Adeline Virginia Woolf (1882 – 1941) is considered one of the most important modernist 20th-century authors and a pioneer in the use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device and for a demonstration of the sheer vitality of Virginia Woolf's writing, Orlando is unsurpassed. The novel is a provocative exploration of gender and history, as well as of the nature of biography itself; perhaps surprisingly, given these highly intellectual concerns,...
