Description
Virginia Woolf es una biografía que conserva intacta la voz de una de las escritoras más emblemáticas de nuestro tiempo. «Quien de verdad quiera saber algo fiable y profundo sobre el grupo de Bloomsbury y todos sus componentes, debe acudir a este libro. Aprenderá, comprenderá y se llevará la sorpresa de una lectura apasionante.» Alicia Giménez Bartlett «Virginia Woolf era la hermana de mi madre. En 1964, unos veinte años después de la muerte de Virginia, mi tío Leonard me escribió comentándome que había gente dispuesta a escribir su biografía. Él se veía en la obligación de invitarlos a almorzar para convencerles de que no lo hicieran, lo cual no dejaba de ser un fastidio... Acto seguido, me sugirió que fuera yo quien se ocupara del tema.» Con estas sencillas palabras Quentin Bell inaugura uno de los mejores trabajos biográficos del siglo XX, y con la misma soltura cuenta con todo detalle la vida de una mujer que hoy es un mito de la literatura contemporánea. Gracias a su especial vinculación con la autora y a la ayuda de valiosos documentos, inéditos hasta ahora, Quentin Bell pudo dibujar un retrato único en el que la ironía e incluso el humor se codean a gusto con el rigor histórico. Esta biografía es ya un clásico, sus páginas aún conservan intacta la voz de una mujer que vivió y escribió con el talento que distingue a los genios. La crítica ha dicho: «Simplemente la mejor biografía de Virginia Woolf.» New York Times Book Review «Un libro lleno de vida.» José Manuel Benítez Ariza, El Cultural «Es un placer leer la obra de Bell. La recomiendo a todo el mundo.» Judy Mimken, Library Journal «Cautivará a todo admirador de la obra de Woolf.» Alice Joyce, Booklist «Un relato alegre, simpático y tolerante.» Janet Malcolm «Bell no solo tiene nuevos datos que añadir, sino que, además, disipa la parte más tendenciosa y pedante con toques divertidísimos.» Francis Spaulding, Times Literary Supplement
