Description

'What do we seek through millions of pages? Still hopefully turning the pages - oh, here is Jacob's room.'Who is Jacob Flanders?

Virginia Woolf's third novel, published in 1922 alongside James Joyce's Ulysses and T.S.

Eliot's The Waste Land, follows this elusive title character from a sunlit childhood on the Cornwall coast to adventures in Cambridge, London, and Athens.

Women fall in love with Jacob; young men desire his company and conversation.

But Woolf keeps her scornful, charming protagonist at a distance, enveloping Jacob in mystery as he enters adulthood and the Great Warthunders across Europe.

A daring work that reimagines every element of the traditional novel, Jacob's Room tells a new story for a new century. In 1922, Lytton Strachey pronounced Jacob's Room 'a most wonderful achievement—more like poetry, it seems to me, than anything else, and as such I prophesy immortal.' One hundred years after its publication, Woolf's first full-length work of experimental fiction pulls us into the inexhaustible mysteries of intimacy and mortality.
