Synopsis "La Señora Dalloway (in Spanish)"

La primera de las novelas con que Virginia Woolf revolucionó la narrativa de su tiempo. «Virginia Woolf es dios, nadie ha escrito mejor.»Milena Busquets La señora Dalloway relata un día en la vida londinense de Clarissa, una dama de alta alcurnia casada con un diputado conservador y madre de una adolescente. La historia comienza una soleada mañana de 1923 y termina esa misma noche, cuando empiezan a retirarse los invitados de una fiesta que se celebra en la mansión de los Dalloway. Aunque en el curso del día acaece un hecho trágico -el suicidio de un joven que volvió de la guerra psíquicamente perturbado-, lo esencial de la obra estriba en que los sucesos están narrados desde la mente de los personajes, con un lenguaje capaz de dibujar los meandros y ritmos escurridizos de la conciencia y de expresar la condición de la mujer de un modo a la vez íntimo y objetivo. Reseña:«Tal vez su obra maestra. Exquisita y soberbiamente construida.»E.M. Forster

Virginia Woolf was born in London on January 25, 1882, and died on March 28, 1941, drowned in the River Ouse. After her father's death, the well-known man of letters Sir Leslie Stephen, Virginia and her sister Vanessa left the elegant Kensington neighborhood and moved to the bohemian Bloomsbury, which named the brilliant literary group formed around the Stephen sisters. Among its members were T. S. Eliot, Bertrand Russell, Vita Sackville-West, and the writer Leonard Woolf, whom Virginia married and with whom she ran the prestigious Hogarth Press. From her early works, Virginia Woolf highlighted her intention to take novels beyond mere narration. In Mrs. Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927), the author expressed the inner feelings of the characters with her own techniques, achieving great psychological effects through images, metaphors, and symbols. Her technique was consolidated with Orlando (1931) and The Waves (1931), which secured her an indisputable place within the finest world literature. Additionally, Woolf wrote essays as famous as A Room of One's Own (1929), which still inspires new generations of women today, literary criticism articles like those compiled in The Common Reader (1925, 1932) and in Genius and Ink (2021), or the biography of the English poet Elizabeth Barrett's dog, Flush (1933). All these works are published by Lumen.
