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.

This collection is an essential addition to any literary library, celebrating Woolf's unparalleled contributions to the world of fiction.

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), an English writer, is considered one of the major literary figures of the twentieth century. Her groundbreaking novels, including Jacob's Room, Mrs. Dalloway, and To the Lighthouse, revolutionized storytelling. Woolf also examined urgent social and political issues in shorter fiction, widely discussed provocative essays, and in posthumously published letters and diaries. She was at the center of The Bloomsbury Group, a circle of seminal writers, artists, and intellectuals who created new paradigms for life during a time of great cultural, economic, and political upheaval. Her work and life have inspired some of the most compelling novels, plays, operas, films, and visual art of our time.
