Escritos con honestidad, agudeza y sentido de la inmediatez, los diarios de Virginia Woolf hacen aflorar esa corriente de vida que fluye incontenible detrás de sus novelas. «Yo utilizo a mis amigos más bien como lámparas: veo que ahà hay otro campo: con tu luz. AllÃ, una colina. Ensancho mi paisaje», nos dice, y sus palabras nombran también y dan sentido a la lectura de estas páginas. La luz de la escritora se vierte sobre los espacios, su ingenio y clarividencia iluminan ya un suceso menor en el curso de la noche –alguien robó su bolso–, ya los grandes hitos de su obra literaria. «Digo que estoy escribiendo Las olas siguiendo un ritmo, no una trama», leemos, o bien: «Orlando es un libro muy rápido y brillante, sÃ, show more pero no intenté explorar». Este volumen abarca Ãntegramente el perÃodo de tiempo comprendido entre 1925 y 1930. Virginia Woolf alcanzó entonces su plena madurez como escritora, consiguió una posición segura y respetada en el mundo de las letras y participó de una agitada vida social. Pese a todo, dÃa a dÃa siguió consignando la impresión que le causaban escritores como W. B. Yeats, H. G. Wells o Thomas Hardy, su amor por Vita Sackville-West y el de Ethel Smith por ella, sus lecturas, sus empeños, las franjas más inaprensibles de su intimidad. show less
I have read two volumes of the Diary and nearly finished with Volume 3. I started to read the Woolf diaries because of the recommendation of Ronald Blythe in his marvellous book, "The Pleasure of Diaries". I have read numerous diaries over the years but Woolf is one of, if not the, best.
The third volume of Virginia Woolf's revelatory diary which covers an intensely creative period which resulted in the writing and publication of "To The Lighthouse", "Orlando", "The Common Reader" and "A Room Of One's Own".
The third volume of Virginia Woolf's diary draws you into her world and her life. Compulsively readable and profoundly affecting.

Virginia Woolf was born in London, England on January 25, 1882. She was the daughter of the prominent literary critic Leslie Stephen. Her early education was obtained at home through her parents and governesses. After death of her father in 1904, her family moved to Bloomsbury, where they formed the nucleus of the Bloomsbury Group, a circle of show more philosophers, writers, and artists. During her lifetime, she wrote both fiction and non-fiction works. Her novels included Jacob's Room, Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, Orlando, and Between the Acts. Her non-fiction books included The Common Reader, A Room of One's Own, Three Guineas, The Captain's Death Bed and Other Essays, and The Death of the Moth and Other Essays. Having had periods of depression throughout her life and fearing a final mental breakdown from which she might not recover, Woolf drowned herself on March 28, 1941 at the age of 59. Her husband published part of her farewell letter to deny that she had taken her life because she could not face the terrible times of war. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
