O ovoj e-knjizi

In "Virginia Woolf: The Moment & Other Essays," Woolf intricately weaves a collection of essays that reveal her profound understanding of the human experience, the passage of time, and the complexities of consciousness. Characterized by her signature stream-of-consciousness style, the essays explore a variety of themes, including the role of women in society, the nature of art, and the subtleties of moments that define existence. Woolf's keen observations and lyrical prose reflect her modernist sensibilities, positioning the collection within a broader literary context that challenges traditional narrative forms and embraces introspective examination. Virginia Woolf, a pioneering figure in the modernist movement, was profoundly influenced by her own experiences with mental illness and the limitations placed on women during her time. Born into a talented family of writers and intellectuals, she cultivated a life devoted to literature and social change. These essays serve not only as a personal exploration but also as a reflection of her commitment to examining the intersection of individual and societal consciousness, drawing upon her rich background and experiences. This collection is highly recommended for readers seeking to engage deeply with Woolf's intricate thoughts and stylistic innovations. It provides valuable insight into her literary genius and broader cultural critiques, making it a seminal work for anyone interested in modernist literature, feminist studies, or the philosophy of time.

O autoru

Virginia Woolf, born Adeline Virginia Stephen on January 25, 1882, in London, stands as one of the foremost literary figures of the 20th century. A central figure in the Bloomsbury Group, Woolf's modernist approach redefined narrative structure and the portrayal of the psychological facets of characters, as seen in her much-acclaimed works such as 'Mrs. Dalloway' (1925) and 'To the Lighthouse' (1927). Woolf was renowned for her innovative use of stream of consciousness, which she skillfully employed to delve into her characters' inner lives, a technique that became a hallmark of her style. Her essay collection 'The Moment & Other Essays' showcases her wide-ranging intellect and the breadth of her interests, from literature to politics. Woolf's influence extended beyond her novels and essays; her critical works, including 'A Room of One's Own' (1929), advocate for women's intellectual freedom, having had a lasting impact on feminist criticism. Despite battling mental health issues throughout her life, Woolf's literary legacy is profound, inspiring countless writers and thinkers. Her work not only illuminates the complexities of human consciousness but also continues to resonate with readers for its depth and its poignant exploration of the human experience. Woolf's contributions to literature were tragically cut short when she took her own life on March 28, 1941, but her innovative narratives and impassioned advocacies remain significant to this day.
