Carol Ann Duffyová Poradie kníh (chronologicky)

An anthology of moving poems collated by Carol Ann Duffy, from the poet's own archives.

One of the English language’s best-loved living poets arrays before us here, in chronological order, her favorites among her poems on death, drawing on work written over four decades, and adds to her selection one wholly new poem. It makes for a sequence that is warm, vibrant, alive.

Román Pani Dallowayová, ktorý sa pokladá za prvé majstrovské dielo Virginie Woolfovej, vyšiel prvý raz v roku 1925. Dej sa odohrá za jediný deň, no za neveľký časový úsek sa rozprávanie rozbieha do nekonečných hlbín ľudského vedomia. Hlavná hrdinka, bohatá Londýnčanka Clarissa Dallowayová, pripravuje večernú párty pre svojich priateľov. V jej detailných reflexiách okolitého sveta a v spomienkach sa súčasný príbeh prelína s minulosťou. Strhujúci, novátorský štýl autorky postupne odkrýva vnútorný život postáv, ktorých poprepájané osudy sú podobenstvom o tragickom údele moderného človeka v odcudzenom svete. Román, prostredníctvom ktorého autorka „načrela do najspodnejších zákutí svojej mysle“, patrí medzi najvýznamnejšie diela európskej literárnej moderny.
