Vincent Norah Adeline
On 18 April 1941, twenty-two days after Virginia Woolf went for a walk near her weekend house in Sussex and never returned, her body was reclaimed from the River Ouse. Norah Vincent's Adeline reimagines the events that brought Woolf to the riverbank, offering us a denouement worthy of its protagonist. With poetic precision and psychological acuity, Vincent channels Virginia and Leonard Woolf, T. S. and Vivienne Eliot, Lytton Strachey and Dora Carrington, laying bare their genius and their blind spots, their achievements and their failings, from the inside out. And haunting every page is Adeline, the name given to Virginia Stephen at birth, which becomes the source of Virginia's greatest consolation, and her greatest torment. Intellectually and emotionally disarming, Adeline - a vibrant portrait of Woolf and her social circle, the infamous Bloomsbury Group, and a window into the darkness that both inspired and doomed them all - is a masterpiece in its own right by one of our most brilliant and daring writers.

Вулф В. A Haunted House and Other Short Stories
Вирджиния Вулф (урожденная Аделина Вирджиния Стивен; 1882–1941) - английская писательница и литературный критик, ведущая представительница модернистской литературы первой половины XX века. Известная прежде всего своими романами, Вирджиния Вулф на протяжении всей жизни обращалась и к малым формам: делала небольшие заметки, писала эссе и рассказы, последние из которых увидели свет в авторском сборнике "Понедельник иль вторник" (1921). В 1940 году писательница задумала еще одну книгу, в которую должны были войти как новые, так и ранее выходившие короткие работы. Реализовать эту идею довелось мужу Вирджинии уже после ее смерти: в 1941 году он издал сборник из восемнадцати рассказов "Дом с привидениями". Часто занимающие не более нескольких страниц, рассказы Вирджинии Вулф представляют своеобразную квинтэссенцию ее писательского метода. Сперва отчетливо традиционное повествование вдруг меняется, захваченное потоком сознания персонажей. Ступая в область индивидуализированного восприятия, виртуозно соединяя тонкий лиризм и стилистическое совершенство, автор создает мир, где таинственное и банальное меняются местами и сливаются до неразличимости. Издание на английском языке.
