Book Synopsis
This collection presents two of Virginia Woolf's most profound and innovative works, The Years and The Waves, showcasing her mastery of narrative form and deep exploration of human experience.
The Years, the last novel Woolf published during her lifetime, is a sweeping yet intimate portrayal of an extended family's journey through fifty years of change and upheaval. Spanning generations, the novel captures the trials and tribulations of the Pargiter family, offering a unique approach by focusing on a single day in each chosen year.
The Waves is widely regarded as Woolf's most experimental and daring novel. Published in 1931, it is composed of a series of soliloquies from six distinct characters, interspersed with poetic third-person descriptions of a coastal landscape. Through this innovative narrative technique, Woolf delves into the concepts of self, individuality, and the interconnectedness of human experience.
Published by Read & Co. Classics, this volume is complete with a specially commissioned biography of Woolf, offering readers deeper insight into the life and legacy of one of the twentieth century's most visionary writers. This collection is an essential addition to any literary library, celebrating Woolf's unparalleled contributions to the world of fiction.
