Virginia Woolf's first original and distinguished work, Jacob's Room is the story of a sensitive young man named Jacob Flanders. The life story, character and friends of Jacob are presented in a series for separate scenes and moments from his childhood, through college at Cambridge, love affairs in London, and travels in Greece, to his death in the war. Jacob's Room established Virginia Woolf's reputation as a highly poetic and symbolic writer who places emphasis not on plot or action but on the psychological realm of occupied by her characters.

Virginia Woolf: Jacob's Room

Elhull a virág, eliramlik az élet…”

És ami megmarad: pár különös, makacs emlék, néhány fontos találkozás, a biztonságot adó napi rutin ismétlődő pillanatai, benyomások (színek, fények, a kintorna hangja a sarkon, a tenger illata), a szabad akarat bizonyossága és az egyediségbe vetett hit a társadalom és a kultúra által meghatározott térben és időben. Filléres emlékeink. Ők tudják, mennyit ér az életünk.*

Majdnem félbehagytam, pedig gyönyörű, vicces, öntörvényű, és kivételes.

I confess I didn't like this fragmented style, although there were of course parts that I enjoyed. It did feel like a photo collection, and I missed the connexion.

“What did I ask you to remember?” she said.

“I don’t know,” said Archer.

“Well, I don’t know either,” said Betty, humorously and simply, and who shall deny that this blankness of mind, when combined with profusion, mother wit, old wives’ tales, haphazard ways, moments of astonishing daring, humour, and sentimentality—who shall deny that in these respects every woman is nicer than any man?

Well, Betty Flanders, to begin with.

Archer could not sleep.

Mrs. Flanders stooped over him. “Think of the fairies,” said Betty Flanders. “Think of the lovely, lovely birds settling down on their nests. Now shut your eyes and see the old mother bird with a worm in her beak. Now turn and shut your eyes,” she murmured, “and shut your eyes.”

The lodging-house seemed full of gurgling and rushing; the cistern overflowing; water bubbling and squeaking and running along the pipes and streaming down the windows.
