 The Virginia Woolf Super Pack #1 The Voyage Out, Night and Day, The Mark on the Wall, Kew Gardens, A Society Series【電子書籍】[ Virginia Woolf ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Collected in this seven hundred plus page Super Pack omnibus edition are two complete novels and three short stories showcase Virginia Woolf's masterful ability to blend psychological depth with social commentary, making them essential reads for anyone interested in modernist literature. Virginia Woolf's debut novel, The Voyage Out, is a rich exploration of self-discovery and the complexities of human relationships set against the backdrop of a voyage to South America. The story follows Rachel Vinrace, a young woman embarking on a journey that is both literal and metaphorical. As she travels with her father and a group of eclectic characters, Rachel grapples with her identity, societal expectations, and the constraints of her upbringing. Woolf's lyrical prose captures the beauty of the natural world and the intricacies of the human psyche, inviting readers to reflect on the transformative power of travel and the quest for personal freedom. The novel intricately weaves themes of love, loss, and the search for meaning, ultimately culminating in a poignant exploration of life's uncertainties. In Night and Day, Virginia Woolf delves into the lives of two women, Katharine Hilbery and Mary Datchet, as they navigate the complexities of love, ambition, and societal roles in early 20th-century England. The novel contrasts the inner lives of its characters with the external pressures of their environment, exploring the tension between personal desires and societal expectations. Katharine, a poet caught between her literary aspirations and the expectations of marriage, and Mary, a suffragist dedicated to social change, embody the struggles of women seeking autonomy in a patriarchal society. Woolf's innovative narrative style, characterized by stream-of-consciousness techniques, allows readers to intimately experience the characters' thoughts and emotions. Night and Day is a profound meditation on the nature of relationships, the pursuit of individuality, and the interplay between night and day as metaphors for the dualities of life.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 289円 |

 Kew Gardens【電子書籍】[ Virginia Woolf ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞From the oval-shaped flower-bed there rose perhaps a hundred stalks spreading into heart-shaped or tongue-shaped leaves half way up and unfurling at the tip red or blue or yellow petals marked with spots of colour raised upon the surface; and from the red, blue or yellow gloom of the throat emerged a straight bar, rough with gold dust and slightly clubbed at the end. The petals were voluminous enough to be stirred by the summer breeze, and when they moved, the red, blue and yellow lights passed one over the other, staining an inch of the brown earth beneath with a spot of the most intricate colour.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 438円 |

Milazzo was a small-time drug dealer who had squealed to avoid prison time a year earlier. Milazzo's body was found in the Kew Gardens section of Queens by a woman who was on her way to work. Two days earlier Paul Caravello was taken for a ride before his body was dumped in a vacant lot in an isolated Pelham section of the Bronx.

 Kew Gardens and Other Short Fiction【電子書籍】[ Virginia Woolf ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞'The ponderous woman looked through the pattern of falling words at the flowers standing cool, firm, and upright in the earth, with a curious expression. . .So heavy the woman came to a standstill opposite the oval shaped flowerbed, and ceased even to pretend to listen to what the other woman was saying.'＜/strong＞ Virginia Woolf's short fiction has long been acknowledged as the place where she tried out some of her more experimental techniques before adopting and adapting them for use in her novel-length works. While this is certainly true, it is also the case that these short pieces are now increasingly being recognized as important works of art in their own right, rather than simply flights of experimental fancy awaiting their full actualization in the novel form. This new edition edited by Bryony Randall emphasises the startling variety in Woolf's experimentation during the most productive period of short fiction writing in Woolf's life, the late 1910s through to the end of the 1920s. It draws readers' attention to the deep political engagements evident across the range of her work and on the recent burgeoning of work in modernist print culture to set out the importance of the material context of these works' initial publication and reception.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 492円 |

 Monday or Tuesday and Kew Gardens【電子書籍】[ Virginia Woolf ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞THIS IS HOW it all came about. Six or seven of us were sitting one day after tea. Some were gazing across the street into the windows of a milliner’s shop where the light still shone brightly upon scarlet feathers and golden slippers. Others were idly occupied in building little towers of sugar upon the edge of the tea tray. After a time, so far as I can remember, we drew round the fire and began as usual to praise menhow strong, how noble, how brilliant, how courageous, how beautiful they werehow we envied those who by hook or by crook managed to get attached to one for lifewhen Poll, who had said nothing, burst into tears. Poll, I must tell you, has always been queer. For one thing her father was a strange man. He left her a fortune in his will, but on condition that she read all the books in the London Library. We comforted her as best we could; but we knew in our hearts how vain it was. For though we like her, Poll is no beauty; leaves her shoe laces untied; and must have been thinking, while we praised men, that not one of them would ever wish to marry her. At last she dried her tears. For some time we could make nothing of what she said. Strange enough it was in all conscience. She told us that, as we knew, she spent most of her time in the London Library, reading. She had begun, she said, with English literature on the top floor; and was steadily working her way down to the Times on the bottom. And now half, or perhaps only a quarter, way through a terrible thing had happened. She could read no more. Books were not what we thought them. “Books,” she cried, rising to her feet and speaking with an intensity of desolation which I shall never forget, “are for the most part unutterably bad!”＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 640円 |

 The Collected Short Stories of Virginia Woolf Kew Gardens, Monday or Tuesday, A Haunted House, Mrs Dalloway's Party, Carlyle's House…【電子書籍】[ Virginia Woolf ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In 'The Collected Short Stories of Virginia Woolf', readers are presented with a rich tapestry of Woolf's literary artistry that spans the breadth of her career, revealing her innovative narrative techniques and keen psychological insights. This collection, expertly curated, showcases Woolf's mastery in exploring themes of consciousness, identity, and the passage of time, presented through fluid prose and fragmented forms that challenge traditional storytelling conventions. Drawing from the early 20th-century literary context, this compilation highlights her burgeoning modernist style, marked by impressionistic descriptions and stream-of-consciousness techniques, reflecting the complexities of human experience. Virginia Woolf, a central figure in modernist literature and a leading voice in feminist discourse, brought her personal experiences, including her struggles with mental illness and the challenges of being an early 20th-century woman writer, to her storytelling. Influenced by her intellectual upbringing and the Bloomsbury Group, Woolf sought to redefine narrative structures and elevate the inner lives of her characters, allowing readers to engage deeply with their psychological landscapes. This anthology is a must-read for those interested in modern literature, feminist studies, and the evolution of narrative form. Woolf's ability to weave hauntingly beautiful tales invites readers to contemplate the intricacies of existence, making 'The Collected Short Stories of Virginia Woolf' an essential addition to both literary collections and personal libraries.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 300円 |
