»Virginia Woolf fångar livets komplexitet på ett kongenialt sätt och kan använda tiden, könet eller staden man lever i för att beskriva människan.« | LISBETH LARSSON, DN»Mrs Dalloway sa att hon skulle köpa blommorna själv.«Så inleder Virginia Wolff sin berättelse om Clarissa Dalloway, en kvinna ur engelsk medelklass i mellankrigstidens London, som förbereder en fest hon ska hålla under kvällen. Genom inre monolog färdas berättelsen fram och tillbaka i tiden och mellan karaktärerna, samtidigt som bilden av Clarissas liv och mellankrigstidens sociala strukturer framträder.Mrs Dalloway är en tidlös klassiker, läst av generation efter generation, och tillhör den moderna litteraturhistoriens mest betydande verk med sin innovativa berättarteknik.I svensk översättning av Else Lundgren.VIRGINIA WOOLF [1882 -1941] föddes i London. Med romaner som Jakobs rum [1922], Mrs Dalloway [1925], Mot fyren [1927] och Orlando [1928] blev hon en av modernismens förgrundsgestalter och räknas i dag till 1900-talets viktigaste engelskspråkiga författare. Som tänkare, med essäer som Ett eget rum [1929], har Woolf påverkat kvinnorörelsen i många länder.»I det museum som litteraturhistorien utgör har Virginia Woolf verkligen fått sig inrättat ett eget rum - Joyce får nöja sig med att dela rum med T. S. Eliot.« | Bernur»En fantastisk bok som innehåller så mycket känslor och tankegångar.« Betyg 5 av 5 | Karins universum

HarperCollins is proud to present our range of timeless literary classics.Clarissa Dalloway is a woman of high-society – vivacious, hospitable and sociable on the surface, yet underneath troubled and dissatisfied with her life in post-war Britain. This disillusionment is an emotion that bubbles under the surface of all of Woolf’s characters in Mrs Dalloway.Centred around one day in June where Clarissa is preparing for and holding a party, her interior monologue mingles with those of the other central characters in a stream of consciousness, entwining, yet never actually overriding the pervading sense of isolation that haunts each person.One of Virginia Woolf’s most accomplished novels, Mrs Dalloway is widely regarded as one of the most revolutionary works of the 20th century in its style and the themes that it tackles. The sense that Clarissa has married the wrong person, her past love for another female friend and the death of an intended party guest all serve to amplify this stultifying existence.

On a perfect June morning, Clarissa Dalloway – fashionable, worldly, wealthy, an accomplished hostess – sets off to buy flowers for the party she will host that evening. She is preoccupied with thoughts of the present and memories of the past, and from her interior monologue emerge the people who have touched her life. On the same day, Septimus Warren Smith, a shell-shocked survivor of the Great War, commits suicide, and casual mention of his death at the party provokes in Clarissa thoughts of her own isolation and loneliness.Bold and experimental, Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway is a landmark in twentieth-century fiction and a book that gets better and better with every reading.This elegant Macmillan Collector’s Library edition of Virginia Woolf's modernist classic features an afterword by editor and publisher Anna South.Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure.

When Mrs Ramsay tells her guests at her summer house on the Isle of Skye that they will be able to visit the nearby lighthouse the following day, little does she know that this trip will only be completed ten years later by her husband, and that a gulf of war, grief and loss will have opened in the meantime. As each character tries to readjust their memories and emotions with the shifts of time and reality, this long-delayed excursion will also prove to be a journey of self-discovery and fulfilment for them. Rich in symbolism, daring in style, elegiac in tone and encapsulating Virginia Woolf’s ideas on life, art and human relationships, To the Lighthouse is a landmark of twentieth-century literature and one of the high points of early Modernism.

WITH INTRODUCTIONS BY VALENTINE CUNNINGHAM AND CAROL ANN DUFFYIn this vivid portrait of one day in a woman's life, Clarissa Dalloway is preoccupied with the last-minute details of party she is to give that evening.

Clarissa Dalloway har allt: en framstående äkta man, en välartad dotter, ett stort hus fullt av betjänter, vänner tillhörande den absoluta societeten. Ganska snart står det dock klart att hon under den glättiga ytan är en kvinna som tappat bort sig själv bland plikter, konventioner och inte minst i sitt trista äktenskap. Boken utspelar sig i London under en dag i juni 1923. Under dagen får vi följa såväl de många karaktärernas promenader genom staden som deras tankar och minnen. På Clarissas fest på kvällen dyker flera personer från hennes förflutna upp. Mrs Dalloway kom ut första gången 1925 och är en av Virginia Woolfs mest kända romaner. Här är den i lättläst bearbetning, i vår serie Tidlösa berättelser. Boken väcker frågor om kvinnans roll, om synen på äktenskapet och om vikten av att skapa mening i livet. Den tar också upp ämnen som psykisk sjukdom och homosexualitet. Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) var en tongivande modernistisk författare. Till hennes viktigaste verk hör förutom Mrs Dalloway romanerna Mot fyren och Orlando, samt essän Ett eget rum. Hon har inspirerat flera nutida feministiska rörelser.
