📘 About This Book

Set in post-First World War London, this landmark work of modernist literature follows a day in the life of a high-society woman preparing for an evening party. Through an innovative stream-of-consciousness narrative style, the story unfolds across a single day, capturing the intricate inner thoughts, memories, and sensory impressions of its protagonist. As she moves through the bustling city, mundane preparations become deeply intertwined with profound reflections on the passage of time, the choices that define a life, and the quiet weight of unfulfilled potential. The narrative intimately explores themes of marriage, aging, and social class, while drawing a poignant parallel to the invisible scars left by the Great War on society and its individuals. Celebrated for its psychological depth and lyrical prose, the novel remains a definitive exploration of modern human consciousness, capturing the extraordinary resonance found within ordinary moments.

📖 Resumo

A obra-prima de Virginia Woolf, 'Mrs. Dalloway', acompanha um único dia na vida de Clarissa Dalloway, uma mulher da alta sociedade na Londres pós-Primeira Guerra Mundial. Enquanto se prepara para uma festa à noite, a narrativa flui através de sua consciência, entrelaçando memórias de sua juventude em Bourton, sua decisão de se casar com o estável Richard Dalloway em vez do apaixonado Peter Walsh, e suas reflexões sobre a passagem do tempo. O romance opera como uma narrativa dupla, justapondo os preparativos mundanos de Clarissa com a experiência dilacerante de Septimus Warren Smith, um veterano traumatizado que sofre de grave transtorno de estresse pós-traumático. Enquanto Clarissa representa a fachada social e a luta para manter a própria identidade dentro das restrições do casamento e da classe social, Septimus representa a realidade trágica e desmoronada de um mundo que se recusa a reconhecer as cicatrizes psicológicas da Grande Guerra. Ao longo do dia, as vidas dos personagens se cruzam por meio de encontros fortuitos e do convívio social compartilhado.
