La primera de las novelas con que Virginia Woolf revolucion la narrativa de su tiempo.

Virginia Woolf es dios, nadie ha escrito mejor. –Milena Busquets

Igual que James Joyce y Marcel Proust domin el manejo del flujo de conciencia de los personajes, pero ella aade un valor extra, la sensibilidad femenina. –Maria Vargas Llosa

La seora Dalloway relata un da 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 maana de 1923 y termina esa misma noche, cuando empiezan a retirarse los invitados de una fiesta que se celebra en la mansin de los Dalloway. Aunque en el curso del da acaece un hecho trgico -el suicidio de un joven que volvi de la guerra psquicamente perturbado-, lo esencial de la obra estriba en que los sucesos estn 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 condicin de la mujer de un modo a la vez ntimo y objetivo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Mrs. Dalloway by VIRGINIA WOOLF follows a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, a high-society woman married to a member of Parliament, in post-World War I England, as she prepares for a party that she is set to host that evening.

The novel travels back and forth in time, delving into the minds of its characters, exploring their emotional and psychological landscapes. We see Clarissa’s reflections on her choice of husband over a passionate suitor and her current feelings of isolation and confinement within her social role. Simultaneously, the story of Septimus Warren Smith, a shell-shocked war veteran, unfolds as a poignant counterpoint to Clarissa’s internal contemplations.

Their narratives interlace, presenting themes of identity, memory, and disconnection in a rapidly changing world. Woolf’s pioneering stream-of-consciousness technique paints these inner experiences with profound intimacy, challenging traditional narrative structures and illustrating the fluidity of time and the human psyche.
