內容簡介

內容簡介 ✰英國作家：吳爾芙✰文筆耀眼、生命如同傳奇的作家！這本引人入勝的傳記，是認識英國作家維吉尼亞·吳爾芙的入門書。它不僅涵蓋吳爾芙筆下各部小說的背景脈絡，更深入解析為何她即使逝世70年，作品仍能啟發與撼動人心。1907 年，25 歲的維吉尼亞·斯蒂芬 (Virginia Stephen) 尚未出版任何小說，一切榮耀還未到来。她站在人生的十字路口，問自己：「我將成為一個悲慘或快樂的人？成為一個濫情的作家，還是一位能寫出撼動人心作品的人？」如今，她的文字依舊熠熠生辉，光芒更勝以往。這是關於一位拿著筆記本、心志堅定的年輕女子，如何成為史上最偉大作家之一的故事。書中充滿機智、友誼、語言、愛情、淘氣的玩笑以及對平凡事物的熱愛。吳爾芙的一生，時刻燃燒著生命的烈焰，勇敢地挑戰傳統，最終化為永恆的藝術。This gripping account offers an ideal introduction to both the life and work of Virginia Woolf. It considers each of Woolf’s novels in context and shows why, seventy years after her death, Virginia Woolf continues to haunt and inspire us.In 1907, when she was twenty-five and not yet a published novelist, Virginia Stephen had everything still to prove. She felt herself to be at a crossroads: ‘I shall be miserable, or happy; a wordy sentimental creature, or a writer of such English as shall one day burn the pages.’Today her prose is still blazing; perhaps it burns brighter than ever. For this is the story of how a determined young woman with a notebook became one of the greatest writers of all time. It is a story that sparkles with wit and friendship, language and love, wicked jokes and passionate appreciation of ordinary things. Hers was a life lived with intensity from moment to moment, courageous and defiant of convention, and shaped into the lasting patterns of art.
