Mrs. Dalloway

di Virginia Woolf (Autore)

Library of Alexandria, 2026

A party to prepare. A city alive with passing impressions. And beneath the surface of an ordinary day, a lifetime of longing and regret. In Mrs. Dalloway, Virginia Woolf follows Clarissa Dalloway through a single day in postwar London as she buys flowers, encounters familiar faces, and prepares to welcome guests into her home. The present continually opens onto the past: old attachments, choices made long ago, and the distance between the woman others see and the self she knows within. Elsewhere in the city, Septimus Warren Smith struggles with the psychological aftermath of the First World War. His suffering stands alongside Clarissa's social world, exposing the limits of conventional ideas about health, duty, and happiness. Moving between minds with lyrical precision, Woolf turns street sounds, passing encounters, and sudden recollections into a searching account of consciousness. The novel endures because its questions remain intimate: how do we live with our choices, understand another person's pain, and find meaning as time passes? What readers find inside: A day in London - Streets, shops, and social encounters give an ordinary day extraordinary emotional depth. Clarissa's inner life - A society hostess reflects on love, identity, and the possibilities she left behind. The aftermath of war - Septimus's distress reveals suffering that polite society struggles to acknowledge. Time and memory - The passing hours mingle with recollection, showing how the past remains alive in the present. Stream of consciousness - Shifting perspectives draw readers into the impressions and associations that shape private experience. For readers of psychological fiction, lovers of literary modernism, and anyone drawn to stories about women's inner lives, this novel offers an intimate encounter with the gap between public appearance and private feeling. Step into Clarissa's London and discover how much of a life can unfold in a single day.
