É um mimosinho, edição simples e clássica, coisinha mais lindinha!! As folhas são frágeis - parece um jornal -, mas as letras tem um tamanho bom e as folhas tem esse tom bem confortável para se ler. Vale totalmente o preço, bem caprichosinho apesar de simples.

Impressionnant "stream of cousciousness" de Virginia Woolf. Un livre qui démontre qu'une histoire n'a pas besoin de beaucoup d'action pour être passionnant (il ne se passe à peu près rien pendant tout le livre).
Je l'ai trouvé bien plus accessible que la promenade au phare.

This was my fourth reading of Mrs. Dalloway. The fourth time when I would go back to the book, as if it were the first time, and it would reveal itself a little more, another insight, maybe not, maybe just the usual run-of-the-mill circadian novel that it is, but not monotonous. Never uninteresting, and most certainly never out of touch with the contemporary landscape of emotion and thought.
Mrs. Dalloway is a book about community than just one person. It is about illness, suffering, love, sensations that merge together in sentences that portray that at every page. Clarissa is a protagonist who isn’t likeable and yet you relate, you empathise, you find yourself being a part of her world – and more than anything of the banal every day. Whether it is through the life of Septimus Smith or that of Peter Walsh or even Rezia – who is the most sympathetic character, it is all the every day. A Groundhog Day kind of scenario, but the one that is perhaps bearable, tolerable to read during a pandemic – the prose saves you.
So, then what is Mrs. Dalloway about? A day in the life of someone who wants to throw a party? A day in the lives of people who are...

Good! It’s a lovely book. It’s tiny which I like, so I can bring it everywhere with me without taking up too much space. It’s also not to thick. The quality is good, especially for how cheap it was. Definitely recommend!

I must admit to some confusion. I think I have read Mrs. Dalloway, word for word, beginning to end.
My uncertainty arises because I suddenly found myself, too soon, at the end of the book. My Kindle copy had jumped ahead about 15%. Not the fault of the book, my reader has been a tad twitchy. I did page back to where I thought I was, and I check against a few on line plot summaries. My real problem was that this is a book where you can miss parts and not always know that you have skipped ahead, or behind.
The story of Mrs. Dalloway is the story of several people more or less connected to Mrs. Clarissa Dalloway. Each character is experiencing the same day, the day leading up to a party by the title character. Mostly we learn about these people by listening in on their thoughts, random mental notions and occasionally as they look at or speak with another of the fictional circle. The technique is a variation on Stream of Conscious. Not just the mental world of one person but of several , as they interact or move away from interaction.
Ms Woolf's ability to take us into the heads of a diverse cast is art not artifice. The transitions from interior...

Samuel:
Though there are some passing resemblances to Jane Austen, the comedy of manners, and Victorian narrative satire, this is a modernist novel and a fairly accessible introduction to Woolf, unless the reader is overly impatient or tone-deaf. Woolf creates a character's interior life through a virtuosic, highly mobile third-person narrator, who might be thought of as the character's "persona," not merely "expressing" the character's thoughts but "mirroring" how the character perceives him or herself as seen by others. Moreover, the indefinite pronouns can shift unexpectedly or occur in too close proximity to make identification easy or even definite. As a result, the reader has to work overtime to achieve entrance into the mind of the "right" character while simultaneously sensing the liquid, interpenetrating and shared qualities of human identity itself. And finally there's that tone, now soft, now loud, and rarely without irony.
Woolf makes it fairly easy on the reader with the broad, sardonic strokes she uses to paint the practically villainous Sir William Bradshaw, the eminent psychiatrist viewed by many (especially himself) as the scientific high priest...
