Med sine tanker om kvinnen som selvstendig individ med økonomisk og arbeidsmessig uavhengighet, fikk boken en banebrytende betydning for kvinnefrigjørelsen, og er fortsatt et sentralt verk i feminismen og den feministiske litteraturkritikken. Tankene hennes blir gjennom undersøkelser av natur og institusjoner, besøk og middager, lagt fram med humor, sinne, ironi og skarpsindighet, og den historiske gjennomgangen av kvinnelige forfattere blir blandet med fiktive forestillinger.

"Gita al Faro" (1927) è il ritratto corale della famiglia Ramsay, che ogni estate ospita diversi amici su un'isola delle Ebridi. Virginia Woolf sembra avere una lente di ingrandimento con la quale osserva ognuno di loro, con il suo flusso continuo di pensieri, immagini, ricordi, associazioni, aspettative, paure.

Virginia Woolf, ici, va droit aux faits avec la plus redoutable précision. Femme, elle reconnaît, décèle et dénonce en précurseur ce scandale d'autant plus occulté qu'il s’inscrit partout, s'étale avec une évidence majestueuse : le racisme ordinaire qui réduit les femmes à l’état d'êtres minoritaires, colonisés. Scandale politique. Dictature qui annonce toutes les autres.

Un mercoledì di metà giugno del 1923, Clarissa Dalloway esce per comprare dei fiori per la festa che si terrà la sera. Rivedrà Peter Walsh, l'amante respinto appena tornato dall'India, e l'amica tanto amata, Sally Seton. Per le strade di Londra passeggia anche Septimus Warren Smith, veterano della Prima guerra mondiale. Nulla sembra legarli, eppure i due, senza mai incontrarsi, comunicano.

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.

"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.

"Mrs Dalloway sade att hon skulle köpa blommorna själv." Med denna berömda mening inleds romanen, som utspelar sig en vanlig sommardag i London i juni 1923, när Clarissa Dalloway förbereder inför en fest på kvällen. Under dagen händer olika saker som leder till reflektioner och associationer kring tidigare händelser.

To the Lighthouse tells of one summer spent by the Ramsay family and their friends in their holiday home in Scotland. Offshore stands the lighthouse, remote, inaccessbile, an eternal presence in a changing wolrd. A projected visit to the lighthouse forms the heart of this extraordinary novel which, through the minds of the various characters, explores the nature of time, memory, transience and eternity.

It is a June day in London in 1923, and the lovely Clarissa Dalloway is having a party. Whom will she see? Her friend Peter, back from India, who has never really stopped loving her? What about Sally, with whom Clarissa had her life’s happiest moment? Meanwhile, the shell-shocked Septimus Smith is struggling with his life on the same London day.

The Waves traces the lives of six friends from childhood to old age. It was written when Virginia Woolf was at the height of her experimental literary powers, and she allows each character to tell their own story, through powerful, poetic monologues. By listening to these voices struggling to impose order and meaning on their lives we are drawn into a literary journey which stunningly reproduces the complex, confusing and contradictory nature of human experience.

Kew Gardens may not be unlike any beautiful garden you might visit. However, Virginia Woolf, invites us to inspect the minds of a few who visit the garden. This is a place of dreams, an oasis, a hideaway from all that is busy and frantic.

All short stories are open to interpretation and philosophical dialogue, but this memorable tale from acclaimed author Virginia Woolf might be described as a case study in the mentality of hoarding or at the very least an obsession. What would John give up to discover and collect a very unusual group of items? Would this collection improve his life, or would it give way to madness?

Orlando is one of the most unforgettable creations of twentieth-century literature. He emerges as a young man at the court of Queen Elizabeth I and progresses, with breathtaking ease, through three centuries until, by now a woman, she arrives in the bustle and diversion of the 1920's.

The Voyage Out is Virginia Woolf's haunting tale about a naïve young woman's sea voyage from London to a small resort on the South American coast. In symbolic, lyrical, and intoxicating prose, her outward journey begins to mirror her internal voyage into adulthood as she searches for her personal identity, grapples with love, and learns how to face life intellectually and emotionally. Its wit and exquisiteness, and its profound depth and insight into humanity, will capture the imagination of the listener.

To the Lighthouse is a landmark work of English fiction. Virginia Woolf explores perception and meaning in some of the most beautiful prose ever written, minutely detailing the characters thoughts and impressions. This unabridged version is read by Juliet Stevenson.

Written before she began her experiments in the writing of fiction, Virginia Woolf's second novel, Night and Day, is a story about a group of young people trying to discover what it means to fall in love. It asks all the big questions: What does it mean to fall in love? Does marriage grant happiness? What is happiness? Night and Day is a conventional novel; however, it maps out for us the world of Virginia Woolf in its wondrous prose: For her it was the beginning, leading on to a prolonged engagement with her search for the means to express the "inner life".

Jacob’s Room is Virginia Woolf’s own modernist manifesto. Jacob Flanders is a mere point of contact between a crowd of people, appearing and disappearing in a tableau in which all is flux, without certainty and without a controlling viewpoint. But it seems that the author could not maintain this rigorous impersonality, and the radical technique breaks down, so that we finally see Jacob as a person, just as his world is blown apart.
