Synopsis

Book by Woolf Virginia

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'In her writing career, Virginia Woolf developed a startling, original style that chases thought and fires the moment; she makes old hurts new and freshens the dim ideas of modern life. This style bloomed in experimental novels like Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and The Waves, but prior to writing those books, Woolf created a number of short fictions, exquisite pieces in which the seeds of her new approach quickened into life. In miniature, they display all the intensity and fleetness of Woolf s greatest works. She gathered and printed these stories in Monday or Tuesday, the only collection to be published in her lifetime. Hesperus Press, in its excellent and intriguing line of short works by major authors, has recreate Monday or Tuesday as a slim volume that tempts one to carry it always, like a talisman of greatness. Monday or Tuesday richly conveys Woolf s generous experiments in writing. And though it be but little, it is fierce.' --watermarkbooks.com

Présentation de l'éditeur

A woman gazes at a mark on a wall and ponders the vagaries of thought and opinion; a succession of couples are caught up with nostalgia for their past as they stroll among the vibrant flowers of Kew Gardens; a heron soars high above cities and towns, lakes and mountains, whilst below, life continues in all its mundanity; and blue and green are given their expression in words. Monday or Tuesday is a brilliant and striking series of impressions, written in Woolf's characteristic lyrical - and startling - prose.
