Overview

A wholly original exploration of the life of one of the 20th century s most influential authors, this graphic novel reproduces events from the life of Virginia Woolf in delicate, evocative illustrations. Without ignoring the difficult circumstances that shook the life of the young Woolf and left her with a melancholic and nostalgic streak, the authors seek to portray the lively, happy girl who enjoyed holidays in Talland House, her family s summer home on the Cornish coast; the sharp-tongued adolescent who caustically and humorously critiqued her contemporaries; and the sophisticated and intelligent woman who demanded feminine independence. In short, this is a vivid portrait of a woman in full, of an individual who, while given to depressive tendencies, nevertheless had an undeniable vitality. This book is sure to appeal to fans of the great modernist writer. Una exploracion completamente unica de la vida de una de las autoras mas influyentes del siglo XX, esta novela grafica reproduce eventos de la vida de Virginia Woolf en ilustraciones delicadas y evocadoras. Sin olvidar las dificiles circunstancias que sacudieron la vida de Woolf durante su juventud y que dejaron en ella una huella permanente de tristeza y nostalgia, los autores buscan retratar a la nina traviesa y feliz que disfrutaba de vacaciones en Talland House, la mansion estival de su familia en la costa de Cornualles; a la joven de lengua afilada que humoristicamente y causticamente criticaba a sus contemporaneos; y a la culta e inteligente mujer que reivindicaba la independencia femenina. Se trata de un vivido y completisimo retrato de una persona que, aunque poseia tendencias depresivas, tenia tambien un impulso vital innegable. Este libro seguramente atraera a los aficionados de la gran escritora modernista.
