Acerca de este libro

Jacob's Room is the third novel written by Virginia Woolf. It was published on 26 October 1922 by Hogarth Press.

The novel centers around the life of Jacob Flanders, but indirectly. More of a character study than a story, Jacob is viewed through the eyes of other characters.

Información de la editorial

Virginia Woolf is hailed as one of the great novelists of the twentieth century, widely regarded as an important figure in early Modernism. She experimented with stream-of-consciousness to illuminate her characters' interior lives, and was an acclaimed innovator in both the language and form of such works as To The Lighthouse, Mrs. Dalloway, Orlando and Jacob's Room.

Reseñas en medios

"I wanted them all, even those I'd already read."
—Ron Rosenbaum, The New York Observer

"Small wonders."
—Time Out London

"[F]irst-rate…astutely selected and attractively packaged…indisputably great works."
—Adam Begley, The New York Observer

"I’ve always been haunted by Bartleby, the proto-slacker. But it’s the handsomely minimalist cover of the Melville House edition that gets me here, one of many in the small publisher’s fine 'Art of the Novella' series."
—The New Yorker

"The Art of the Novella series is sort of an anti-Kindle. What these singular, distinctive titles celebrate is book-ness. They're slim enough to be portable but showy enough to be conspicuously consumed—tiny little objects that demand to be loved for the commodities they are."
—KQED (NPR San Francisco)

"Some like it short, and if you're one of them, Melville House, an independent publisher based in Brooklyn, has a line of books for you... elegant-looking paperback editions ...a good read in a small package."
—The Wall Street Journal
