A selection of ghost stories which make your blood run cold.

"Quando il ragazzo, poiché, ahimè, era certo un ragazzo - nessuna donna sui pattini sarebbe mai stata così veloce e potente - gli sfrecciò accanto quasi sulle punte, a momenti Orlando si strappò i capelli per la rabbia che quella persona fosse del suo stesso sesso e quindi ogni abbraccio fosse fuori discussione". Orlando è la biografia scherzosa di un giovane nobile dai lineamenti androgini, che si reincarna rocambolescamente in varie forme attraverso quattro secoli della storia inglese, dall'epoca Elisabettiana fino al '900.

Elegantly covering topics such as the nature of reality, the power of memory and the priceless value of literature, in this sophisticated collection of essays, Woolf more than ever focuses her attention on the fleeting moments of life that meaningfully shape the human experience.

Una habitación propia (A Room of One’s Own) es un ensayo fundamental de Virginia Woolf, publicado en 1929. En este texto, la autora reflexiona sobre el papel de las mujeres en la literatura y en la sociedad de su tiempo. A partir de unas conferencias que ofreció en 1928, Woolf plantea que, para que una mujer pueda escribir y desarrollar todo su potencial creativo, necesita independencia económica y un espacio propio, libre de interrupciones.

To be a woman is to be half the world’s population but, in many countries, unfortunately still now and for most of history, women were decidedly second class, normally no more than chattels and the bearers and nurturers of children. As society involved into a complex and overlapping system where education and equality begin to seek space things began to change. In this volume our authors describe and reveal how life actually felt for almost all women before the recent past.

Championing the everyday, ‘common’ reader, Woolf emphasises the importance of reading for curiosity and interest, as opposed to academic analysis. In a delightfully conversational tone and with personal flair, Woolf explores the works of classical and contemporary authors alike; from Chaucer and Austen to Defoe and Montaigne. Effortlessly blending biography, criticism and philosophy, these brilliantly written essays showcase Woolf’s passion for literature, and particularly its ability to shape life as we know it.
