Over dit e-boek

Through Virginia Woolf's pioneering use of stream-of-consciousness technique and impressionistic prose, Jacob's Room captures fragments of a life that is constantly slipping away, just beyond the reach of full understanding.

Following the life of Jacob Flanders, Jacob's Room traces his journey from a simple childhood in the English countryside to his time as a student at Cambridge and eventually to the battlefields of World War I. Jacob's voice is markedly absent throughout the entirety of the novel, with his character being presented through the fragmented perspectives of dialogue, letters, and thoughts from those around him—family, friends, and lovers.

Unlike conventional novels of its time, Jacob's Room is less concerned with plot and more focused on the inner lives of its characters and the passage of time. First published in 1922, it's not only a portrait of a single life but also a reflection on the larger forces at play in early twentieth-century England. It stands as a profound meditation on the unknowable aspects of human existence, cementing Woolf's place as one of the most innovative writers of her generation and the modernist period.
