La señora Dalloway / Mrs. Dalloway
Description:
The first of the novels with which Virginia Woolf revolutionized the narrative of her time. “Virginia Woolf is a god, no one has written better.” --Milena Busquets “Like James Joyce and Marcel Proust, she mastered the handling of the stream of consciousness of her characters, but she adds an extra value: feminine sensibility.” --Maria Vargas Llosa Mrs. Dalloway recounts a day in the London life of Clarissa, a high-society lady married to a Conservative MP and mother of a teenage daughter. The story begins on a sunny morning in 1923 and ends that same evening, as the guests begin to leave a party being held at the Dalloway mansion. Although a tragic event occurs during the day—the suicide of a young man who returned from the war psychologically disturbed—the essence of the work lies in the fact that the events are narrated from the characters' perspectives, with language capable of depicting the meandering, elusive rhythms of consciousness and expressing the condition of women in a way that is both intimate and objective. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf follows a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, a high-society woman married to a member of Parliament, in post-World War I England, as she prepares for a party she is set to host that evening. The novel travels back and forth in time, delving into the minds of its characters, exploring their emotional and psychological landscapes. We see Clarissa's reflections on her choice of husband over a passionate suitor and her current feelings of isolation and confinement within her social role. Simultaneously, the story of Septimus Warren Smith, a shell-shocked war veteran, unfolds as a poignant counterpoint to Clarissa's internal contemplations. Their narratives interlace, presenting themes of identity, memory, and disconnection in a rapidly changing world. Woolf's pioneering stream-of-consciousness technique paints these inner experiences with profound, challenging traditional narrative structures and illustrating the fluidity of time and the human psyche
