Mrs. Dalloway
von Virginia Woolf
(0 Besprechungen)
Virginia Woolf’s novel chronicles a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, a politician’s wife in 1920s London, as she prepares to host a party that evening. The narrative follows Clarissa’s thoughts (and sometimes those of people she meets) as she goes about her errands, and events in the day remind her of her youth and friendships from the past. As the book progresses characters from the past emerge, igniting old feelings and making Clarissa question the life she has created for herself.Mrs. Dalloway became the inspiration for Michael Cunningham’s 1998 novel The Hours.
