Roky
Roky je román Virginie Woolfové z roku 1937, poslední, který vydala za svého života. Sleduje historii rodiny Pargiterů od 80. let 19. století do poloviny 30. let století minulého. Přestože zde spisovatelka zachytila dobu tak dlouhou, próza není příliš rozsáhlá, vyprávění se zaměřuje spíše na drobné detaily životů postav. Román v překladu Zuzany Mayerové vychází česky vůbec poprvé.
…Myslím, že to bude něco úžasného. Musím být otevřená, odvážná. Chci zachytit celou současnou společnost, nic nevynechat: popsat fakta i vize. A vzájemně je propojit… Je to vůbec možné? … Jak dosáhnout hloubky a neustrnout v nehybnosti? Mě ale baví zdolávat tyhle překážky, a v přirozenosti je svěží vítr a síla. Mým cílem je obsáhnout nekonečnou šíři, nekonečnou intenzitu. Měla by tam být satira, komedie, poezie, próza – jak to všechno skloubit dohromady? Co třeba drama, dopisy, básně? … A nakonec všechno pokračuje dál běžným každodenním životem. Chci tam dostat milióny myšlenek, ale nesmí to být kázání – úvahy o historii, politice, feminismu, umění, literatuře – zkrátka shrnutí všeho, co znám, cítím, čemu se směji, čím pohrdám, co miluji, obdivuji i nenávidím…
V. Woolfová: Deníky; 25. dubna 1933

A világítótorony
Vélemények a könyvrol: ?Woolf technikája olyan, mint egy kirakós játék, mindig más és más darabot tesz le a kép más és más szögletébol, míg összeáll a kép.? ? ??legfoképp hangulat szükséges hozzá. Valamiféle csendes, szomorkás melankólia.? ? ?Az elso 30 oldal után azt hittem, hogy nem fogom befejezni. Az utolsó 30 után pedig, hogy sosem akarom letenni. Telve van érzésekkel, cselekményrol jóformán beszélni sem érdemes, csupán puritán keretként szolgál az érzelmek festette kép körül. Az egész könnyu szelloként simogatja az olvasót, mégsem egyszeru olvasmány. Meg kell rágni, hagyni kell, hogy lélekig hatoljon.? ? ?Virginia Woolf egy-egy mondatában benne van az egész világmindenség.?

Flush: A Biography
Flush: A Biography, an imaginative biography of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's cocker spaniel, is a cross-genre blend of fiction and nonfiction. Commonly read as a modernist consideration of city life seen through the eyes of a dog, Flush serves as a harsh criticism of the supposedly unnatural ways of living in the city. The figure of Elizabeth Barrett Browning in the text is often read as an analogue for other female intellectuals, like Woolf herself, who suffered from illness, feigned or real, as a part of their status as female writers. Most insightful and experimental are Woolf’s emotional and philosophical views verbalized in Flush’s thoughts. As he spends more time with Barrett Browning, Flush becomes emotionally and spiritually connected to the poetess and both begin to understand each other despite their language barriers. For Flush smell is poetry, but for Barrett Browning, poetry is impossible without words. In Flush Woolf examines the barriers that exist between woman and animal created by language yet overcome through symbolic actions.
