About the author
Virginia Woolf is now recognized as a major twentieth-century author, a great novelist and essayist and a key figure in literary history as a feminist and a modernist. Born in 1882, she was the daughter of the editor and critic Leslie Stephen, and suffered a traumatic adolescence after the deaths of her mother, in 1895, and her step-sister Stella, in 1897, leaving her subject to breakdowns for the rest of her life. Her father died in 1904 and two years later her favourite brother Thoby died suddenly of typhoid.
With her sister, the painter Vanessa Bell, she was drawn into the company of writers and artists such as Lytton Strachey and Roger Fry, later known as the Bloomsbury Group. Among them she met Leonard Woolf, whom she married in 1912, and together they founded the Hogarth Press in 1917, which was to publish the work of T. S. Eliot, E. M. Forster and Katherine Mansfield as well as the earliest translations of Freud. Woolf lived an energetic life among friends and family, reviewing and writing, and dividing her time between London and the Sussex Downs. In 1941, fearing another attack of mental illness, she drowned herself.
Her first novel, The Voyage Out, appeared in 1915, and she then worked through the transitional Night and Day (1919) to the highly experimental and impressionistic Jacob's Room (1922). From then on her fiction became a series of brilliant and extraordinarily varied experiments, each one searching for a fresh way of presenting the relationship between individual lives and the forces of society and history. She was particularly concerned with women's experience, not only in her novels but also in her essays and her two books of feminist polemic, A Room of One's Own (1929) and Three Guineas (1938).
Her major novels include Mrs Dalloway (1925), the historical fantasy Orlando (1928), written for Vita Sackville-West, the extraordinarily poetic vision of The Waves (1931), the family saga of The Years (1937), and Between the Acts (1941). All these are published by Penguin, as are her Diaries, Volumes I-V, and selections from her essays and short stories.

Rachel Vinrace dagegen ist gerade eben ihren engstirnigen Tanten entkommen, während Castorp bei seiner Ankunft im Hochtal schon sein Studium abgeschlossen hat. Rachels Weg also ist noch weiter.
Dort in St. Marina erobern sich die beiden Frauen Rachel und Helen vorsichtig das nahe Hotel, das hell erleuchtet zum Haus des Verwandten, das sie benutzen dürfen, hinüberscheint. Rachel trifft auf ihren Settembrini in der Person von St. John Hirst, der ihr nach dem ersten Treffen schon die empfohlene Lektüre ins Haus überstellt. Unter dem Einfluss dieser Leute und der Liebesbeziehung zu Terence Hewet verändert sich Rachel bis zum Punkt, wo sie ihrer Entwicklungshelferin Helen, die sie auch aus der Familie gelöst und mitgenommen hat, Konventionalität vorwirft.
Auf einem Gruppenausflug den Fluss hoch holt sich Rachel ein tödliches Fieber. Ihre Kumpels und Freunde aus dem Hotel tun, was sie können, ohne Erfolg. Sie stirbt.
Sagt uns die Woolf mit diesem Ende, dass Rachel zu weit gekommen ist, dass ihre Überzeugungen und Regungen noch zur Unzeit entstanden sind, zu einer Zeit, wo es für so eine Frau keinen Platz gab? Woolfs Vita und ihr „Ein Raum für sich" sprechen dafür.
Woolfs Schreibe ist brillant, von Metaphern durchsetzt, von grosser Luzidität, von Schärfe geprägt, die nichts an Deutlichkeit vermissen lässt, aber dennoch poetisch durchzogen ist. Und auch hier entsteht der witzige Ton nicht selten bereits über die klare Feststellung der Phänomene.
Eine interessante, feine, scharfe Erzählung.
