Wise Virgins: A Story of Words, Opinions, and a Few Emotions
ISBN: 9780300126532 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Wise Virgins (1914), Leonard Woolf's second novel, was published two years after the author's marriage to Virginia Stephen--and begun during their honeymoon.

Leonard's sister, Bella, urged him to bury the novel, while his mother was shocked and mortified by unflattering portraits of herself and her neighbors. Two weeks after reading the novel, Virginia Woolf suffered the worst of her many breakdowns.As a roman a clef the novel holds considerable...

The Wise Virgins
ISBN: 9781903155332 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The Wise Virgins (1913) is a semi-autobiographical novel about a dilemma: whether Harry, the hero, should go into the family business and marry the suitable but dull girl next door or move in artistic circles and marry one of the entrancing 'Lawrence' girls. For, as Lyndall Gordon writes in her Persephone Preface: 'It is a truth widely acknowledged that Camilla Lawrence is a portrait of the author's wife - Virginia Woolf.'

Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This almost forgotten book, first published in 1913, is a remarkable work because it is the first novel in English literature to be written from the indigenous point of view rather than that of the colonizers.
