Product Information

I wonder if you heard the voices of decades lost in the spiral of time whispering into your ears the truest wisdom of all, as you sat at a desk in a room of your own, pursuing the tail end of some stray thought. Algunos de los fantasmas que Woolf pretendía exorcizar con su señora Dalloway permanecen aquí: el paso del tiempo, la frustración, la incomunicación, el papel de la mujer en la familia y en la sociedad, la homosexualidad, la duda existencial, la soledad, “aquella soledad que constituía (…) la auténtica esencia de las cosas”. This book bounces back and forth between philosophy, psychology and fictionalized story telling in such an interweaving of narrative and personal reflection that it may be difficult to discern who is thinking what and which thoughts are the result of whom.

Behind her window, mother to the child with his son James, the young Charles Tansey, looking for his place, disagreeable, fascinated too.James at long last takes the boat with his detested father, yet looking for his approval he needs, brothers and sisters on board, to the fabled black and white lighthouse, above the horizon the smooth sea cooperates, a steady wind blows the sails full, the bright blue sky and equally blue ocean makes this the perfect day for their voyage. Currents of erratic thoughts, many of them contradictory in nature, are zipping past each other inside my head this moment and I am unable to articulate into words the fact of their individual existence as I open my mouth or let my fingers move over this keyboard.

It’s the reflection afterwards when the canvas is more fully revealed that I can applaud its significance and value. And while I value the stark realism which is found at times in Ulysses, there is also a lot of truth knitted into the beautiful shape of Woolf’s novel: there are valuable reflections on the challenges of relationships, particularly those of husbands and wives and parents and children; there are interesting musings on art and literature, poetry and philosophy; and there are very, very beautiful thoughts on death and dying. Ramsay is a beauty, she pretends to ignore that fact still her aging, brilliant, distant philosopher husband does not, is proud.

This aspect of the book negatively impacted my immersion, however, some people might see it as a positive form of escapism. En cualquier caso, sigo manteniendo que Virginia Woolf es un portento y que posee la magia que caracteriza a los grandes.
