-Jacob's Room

But words have been used too often; touched and turned and left exposed to the dust of the street. The words we seek hang close to the tree. We come at dawn and find them sweet beneath the leaf.

First published in 1922 Jacob's Room which is claimed to be first empiric novel of the author is the third book by Virginia Woolf. It narrates a life of young man named Jacob. He is both representative and victim of social values during the reign of King Edward. The story which is told in the perspectives of women in Jacob's life begins with Jacob's childhood and goes on through his school years at Cambridge and adulthood.

Virginia Woolf attributed this book to her brother who died at a young age and to all the young people who died in battle. So her despair is felt in every line of this book clearly.


-Mrs. Dalloway

Despite everything people overcame misadventures. Despite everything life had an specific way to add one day after another.

Mrs. Dalloway is one of the most prominent work which was written via stream of consciousness technique. It is about Clarissa Dalloway's guest who came after years unexpectedly. In the book that tells one day as reader we witness Clarissa's memories and inner dialogs. In the novel which is setting the day of her invitation while timewise passings are being reflected in the balance of past and future in minds Virginia Woolf points up how a succesful writer she is one more time.

"She had the perpetual sense as she watched the taxi cabs of being out out far out to sea and alone; she always had the feeling that it was very very dangerous to live even one day."
