Swann’s Way is one of the preeminent novels of childhood – a sensitive boy’s impressions of his family and neighbors, all brought dazzlingly back to life years later by the famous taste of a madeleine. The first volume of the work that established Proust as one of the finest voices of the modern age – satirical, skeptical, confiding, and endlessly varied in his response to the human condition – Swann’s Way also stands on its own as a perfect rendering of a life in art, of the...

Totem and Taboo is a work by Sigmund Freud in which he develops his theory of the origin of morality and religion. This is one of the most significant works of Sigmund Freud.

An exquisite novel in which times of action are mixed and intertwined, and the summer spent by the wealthy Ramsey family on the Isle of Skye turns out to be a kind of British „chronicle of lost time” – a fragile, almost idyllic time, doomed to be destroyed soon by the First World War.

The story of how women can prevent war when they are deprived of education, professions and the public sphere. The name „Three Guineas” comes from Wolfe’s reflection on whether she should support three different reasons for giving a guinea donation – this creature; a society to end the war, a campaign to support the restoration of the women’s college, and an organization to promote the employment of women in professions.

The action of the novel „Years”, one of the most significant works of W. Woolf, takes place over fifty years – from the 1880s to the mid 30s of the twentieth century. Victorian traditions are breaking down, cars and planes are appearing, the First World War is covering Europe... All this serves as the backdrop for the family saga – the history of the Pargiter family: Colonel Abel Pargiter, his wife, lover, seven children, their wives, husbands, numerous relatives...

The novel is about six friends who have known since childhood: Bernard, Louis, Neville, Susie, Ron and Ginny. After a few key episodes, their life appears from early childhood to the last days. As in most Virginia Woolf books, the plot as such is absent, it is entirely focused on the inner world of its characters, the flow of their thoughts and feelings, the whole story is an uncontrollable, bubbling flow, stream of thoughts, stream of life, stream of time.

From the first essay of volume: The Moment and Other Essays, a multi-layered portrait of a summer evening in the English countryside in the company of friends, we are delighted with Wolfe’s perception and her ability to articulate them clearly. A series of sensory descriptions – the rumble of an airplane, the night darkness of an night, the flight of an owl – give way to a thought no less important, even inconspicuous: „If you are young, the future truly lies like a piece of ...

An amazingly soft film adaptation of the novel, it subtly merges the past and present, „here and there”, because it is the world of feeling, and it is feeling, and not dry logic that determines what is important and what is not, turning the moment into eternity, and a trifle in event.. The author describes only one summer day in the life of the prosperous socialite lady Mrs. Dalloway. A meeting with an old acquaintance, Peter Welsh, her first love, opens the door to the world...

A woman looks at the mark on the wall and ponders the whims of thoughts and opinions; a series of couples is captured by nostalgia for their past as they stroll among the vibrant colors of Kew Gardens; the heron flies high above cities and towns, lakes and mountains, and below life continues in all its abundance; and blue and green are given in words.

Flush tells the story of the curious, determined boy Noah Underwood, his tough, persistent sister Abby and their unusual father, who defends everything that he believes is right. Papa Noah is imprisoned for drowning in the shoes of the Coral Queen Dusty Muleman casino. Noah’s father did not do this for any good reason, the true reason is that he thinks that Dusty discharges sewage into the ocean, where children swim and where marine life lives.

The author describes us only one day. One summer day of 1939. England. Between the Acts – plays devoted to the history of England and presented on the stage of the amateur theater, a drama of misunderstanding and alienation in real life of the main characters of the novel is played. Between acts, the ideals and hopes of people standing on the threshold of World War II are crumbling, the whole world is crumbling.

The beauty of „A Room of One’s Own” is that it serves as an example of peace of mind, which, as Wooolf insists, is the defining quality of all great artists. Her transparent and elegant essay is devoted not only to the necessary material conditions of writing, but also to the self-overcoming of the creator. Virginia Woolf, in her essay, talks about a woman’s right to work. The writer considers a centuries-old story during which a woman was only a silent shadow of a man....

„I had turned the corner at Thirty-fifth Street and was halfway down the block in my search for a number I had just taken from the telephone book when my attention was suddenly diverted by the quick movements and peculiar aspect of a man whom I saw plunging from the doorway of a large office-building some fifty feet or so ahead of me”.

The story of a strange, impenetrable, charming woman. Miss Hurd is certainly a very unusual person: „Miss Hurd in the garb of a working woman, and with a working woman’s bundle in her lap, but striking as ever in her appearance – possibly more so, –and as conspicuous among the mass of commonplace people surrounding her as she had ever been when clad in the habiliments of a lady and moving among persons of her own rank in life”.

Intoxicated by success, the crowd walked along the street, screaming and screaming, while broken glasses and women’s cries marked her progress. In a few minutes they will be ahead. Suddenly a second doorbell rang. This time the negro stopped before opening it.
