Beschreibung

<strong>'What do we seek through millions of pages? Still hopefully turning the pages -- oh, here is Jacob's room.'</strong> Who is Jacob Flanders? Virginia Woolf's third novel, published in 1922 alongside James Joyce's <em>Ulysses</em> and T.S. Eliot's <em>The Waste Land</em>, follows this elusive title character from a sunlit childhood on the Cornwall coast to adventures in Cambridge, London, and Athens. Women fall in love with Jacob; young men desire his company and conversation. But Woolf keeps her scornful, charming protagonist at a distance, enveloping Jacob in mystery as he enters adulthood and the Great War thunders across Europe. A daring work that reimagines every element of the traditional novel, <em>Jacob's Room</em> tells a new story for a new century. In 1922, Lytton Strachey pronounced Jacob's Room 'a most wonderful achievement-more like poetry, it seems to me, than anything else, and as such I prophesy immortal.' One hundred years after its publication, Woolf's first full-length work of experimental fiction pulls us into the inexhaustible mysteries of intimacy and mortality.
