Mrs Dalloway

Virginia Woolf

Sinossi

What can a single day reveal about an entire life?

First published in 1925, Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf is a landmark novel of modernist literature. Set over the course of one June day in post-World War I London, the story follows Clarissa Dalloway as she prepares for an evening party—while her thoughts, memories, and emotions unfold in rich, flowing detail.

Through Woolf's innovative stream-of-consciousness style, the novel moves seamlessly between characters, revealing hidden fears, private joys, and the lingering impact of trauma and time. Alongside Clarissa's reflections runs the story of Septimus Warren Smith, a war veteran struggling with psychological wounds, creating a powerful meditation on life, death, and human connection.

This timeless classic explores themes of identity, mental health, love, aging, and the unseen lives people carry within them.

Waxworks - From their pens to...

W L George

Walter Lionel George was born to British parents on the 20th March 1882 in Paris, France. 
It was not until he was a young man of 20 that he learned English.  In 1905 he moved to London to work in an office but soon found himself working as a journalist, and as a foreign correspondent, for various London newspapers. 
By 1911, with the publication of his first novel ‘A Bed of Roses’, which portrayed the fall of a penniless young woman into prostitution, his efforts were rewarded, and he turned to literature as a full-time career. 
His writings now sold well.  He added short stories to his offerings as well as literary essays and several tracts that discussed left-wing themes.  Some critics thought his subject matter to be difficult and poorly chosen. His political views gained him little credit amongst his peers although such luminaries as George Orwell praised both subject matter and style. 
His personal life was also turbulent.  His three marriages left him widowed twice.  In 1908 he married Helen Porter who died in 1914.  Helen Agnes Moorhead followed in 1916 but died only 4 years later.  His last marriage was to Kathleen Geipel in 1921. 
W. L George died on 30th January 1926.  He was 43.

Kashtanka

Anton Chekhov

"Kashtanka" — Anton Chekov's short story about a dog with two masters — is a fable about the conundrum of the creative life.
The dog Kashtanka belongs to a drunken carpenter who takes her out one day, but on the way home loses her in the confusion of a military parade. The story is told by an omniscient narrator who privileges Kashtanka's point of view, so we follow the dog's subsequent adventures largely from her eyes.
