On a June morning in 1923, Clarissa Dalloway is preparing for a party and remembering her past. Elsewhere in London, Septimus Smith is suffering from shell-shock and on the brink of madness. Their days interweave and their lives converge as the party reaches its glittering climax. Here, Virginia Woolf perfected the interior monologue and the novel's lyricism and accessibility have made it one of her most popular works.

One of the greatest literary achievements of the 20th century and the author's most popular novel. The serene and maternal Mrs. Ramsay, the tragic yet absurd Mr. Ramsay, together with their children and assorted guests are holidaying on the Isle of Skye. From the seemingly trivial postponement of a visit to a nearby lighthouse, Virginia Woolf constructs a remarkable and moving examination of the complex tensions and allegiances of family life, and the conflict between male and female principles.

Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization, and helped make us who we are.

Set on the English coast against the vivid backdrop of the sea, The Waves introduces six characters who are grappling with the death of a beloved friend, Percival. The characters are almost imperceptibly revealed through the kaleidoscopic accumulation of their reflections on themselves and each other. Regarded by many as Virginia Woolf's masterpiece, The Waves was partially written in order to exorcise her private ghosts as the central, yet absent, character of Percival represents her brother Thoby, who died in 1906. It is a poetic dreamscape, visual, experimental and thrilling.

Orlando’s journey, from the court of Queen Elizabeth I to modern times will also be an internal one. He is an impulsive poet who learns patience in matters of the heart, and a woman who knows what it is to be a man. Virginia’s Woolf’s most unusual and fantastic creation is a funny, exuberant tale which examines the very nature of sexuality.

This story of Elizabeth Barrett Brownings cocker spaniel, Flush, enchants right from the opening pages. Although Flush has adventures of his own with bullying dogs, horrid maids, and robbers, he also provides the reader with a glimpse into Brownings life. Introduction by Trekkie Ritchie.

In A Room of One's Own, Virginia Woolf imagines that Shakespeare had a sister: a sister equal to Shakespeare in talent, equal in genius, but whose legacy is radically different.This imaginary woman never writes a word and dies by her own hand, her genius unexpressed. But if only she had found the means to create, urges Woolf, she would have reached the same heights as her immortal sibling. In this classic essay,Virginia Woolf takes on the establishment, using her gift of language to dissect the world around her and give a voice to those who have none. Her message is simple: A woman must have a fixed income and a room of her own in order to have the freedom to create.

On a June morning in 1923, Clarissa Dalloway, the glittering wife of a Member of Parliament, is preparing for a grand party that evening. As she walks through London, buying flowers, observing life, her thoughts are in the past, and she remembers the time when she was as young as her own daughter Elizabeth; her romance with Peter Walsh, now recently returned from India; and the friends of her youth. Elsewhere in London, Septimus Smith is being driven mad by shell shock. As the day draws to its end, his world and Clarissa's collide in unexpected ways.

維吉尼亞．吳爾芙最顛峰的代表作。也是她老是被聲音「驚擾」的一次交響曲，出版後再度面臨精神崩潰的狀態。
.
她的目標是要為生命照像，從最早的感覺甦醒一直到最後；生命的夢想、野心、期盼、成就和失敗，一直到最終的幻滅。」－約翰．賽門
.
「當我們身不在那裡但依舊存在的事物」，1926年吳爾芙在日記裡，提到寫這樣一本書的想法。隨後她將這個想法最早實現於《燈塔行》，就是「當我們身不在那裡但想起一張在那裡的桌子」。
.
《海浪》，將這個想法推到了最極盡。
.
六個人物，在那裡也不在那裡，同時不在也同時存在。挑戰吳爾芙最巔峰、最終極的意識流作品。
.
《海浪》也許是吳爾芙作品中結構最形式化，敘事本身全然內心化的一部作品。《海浪》透過六個人物不斷的獨白，不斷的獨白，不斷的獨白…，呈現九個像故事又不是故事的段落。六個人物用自己描述性的「標籤」或主題曲，在全書中持續地變奏：人物在長大的過程中，漸漸發展出歧異性。隨著死亡和失落陰影的籠罩，漸漸明瞭某些野心和夢想將永遠不會實現，感受到日益年老所帶來的失意悵然。
.
而太陽自海邊的花園升起，在結尾時落下，所有事物背後都是海浪。這些固定出現、純描述的意象插曲，分隔了故事的段落，也是書中唯一的客觀性，其他盡是無休止的內心的獨白。因所有寫實主義的花招盡被丟棄，使其更像是古典戲劇而非小說。

Virginia Woolf's first original and distinguished work, Jacob's Room is the story of a sensitive young man named Jacob Flanders. The life story, character and friends of Jacob are presented in a series for separate scenes and moments from his childhood, through college at Cambridge, love affairs in London, and travels in Greece, to his death in the war. Jacob's Room established Virginia Woolf's reputation as a highly poetic and symbolic writer who places emphasis not on plot or action but on the psychological realm of occupied by her characters.

An invaluable guide to the art and mind of Virginia Woolf, drawn by her husband from the personal record she kept over a period of twenty-seven years. Included are entries that refer to her own writing, others that are clearly writing exercises; accounts of people and scenes relevant to the raw material of her work; and comments on books she was reading. Edited and with a Preface by Leonard Woolf; Indices.

As his tale begins， Orlando is a passionate young nobleman whose days are spent in rowdy revelry， filled with the colorful delights of Queen Elizabeth's court. By the close, he will have transformed into a modern， 36-year-old woman and three centuries will have passed. Orlando will not only witness the making of history from its edge， but will find that his unique position as a woman who knows what it is to be a man will give him insight into matters of the heart.

Who better to serve as a guide to great books and their authors than Virginia Woolf?
In the early years of its existence, the Times Literary Supplement published some of the finest writers in English: T. S. Eliot, Henry James and E. M. Forster among them. But one of the paper’s defining voices was Virginia Woolf, who produced a string of superb essays between the two World Wars.
The weirdness of Elizabethan plays, the pleasure of revisiting favourite novels, the supreme examples of Charlotte Brontë, George Eliot and Henry James, Thomas Hardy and Joseph Conrad: all are here, in anonymously published pieces, in which may be glimpsed the thinking behind Woolf’s works of fiction and the enquiring, feminist spirit of A Room of One’s Own.
Here is Woolf the critical essayist, offering, at one moment, a playful hypothesis and, at another, a judgement laid down with the authority of a twentieth-century Dr Johnson. Here is Woolf working out precisely what’s great about Hardy, and how Elizabeth Barrett Browning made books a “substitute for living” because she was “forbidden to scamper on the grass”. Above all, here is Virginia Woolf the reader, whose enthusiasm for great literature remains palpable and inspirational today.

One of Woolf’s most experimental novels, The Waves presents six characters in monologue - from morning until night, from childhood into old age - against a background of the sea. The result is a glorious chorus of voices that exists not to remark on the passing of events but to celebrate the connection between its various individual parts.

Originally published in 1929， A Room of One s Own eloquently states Woolf s conviction that in order to create works of genius， women must be freed from financial obligations and social restrictions.

Moments of Being contains Virginia Woolfs only autobiographical writing: By far the most important book about Virginia Woolf...that has appeared since her death [Angus Wilson, Observer (London)]. Edited and with an Introduction by Jeanne Schulkind; Index.

Subject of this extraordinary novel is the daily life of an English family in the Hebrides. "Radiant as To the Lighthouse] is in its beauty, there could never be a mistake about it: here is a novel to the last degree severe and uncompromising. I think that beyond being about the very nature of reality, it is itself a vision of reality."-Eudora Welty, from her Introduction.
