EBook of Jacob

Jacob's Room is the book that marks Virginia Woolf's passage from traditional literature to the universe of experimentalism, with which she would eventually leave her revolutionary literary imprint. Jacob Flanders is the central character of a story, which is not revealed or concluded. In this work, it is not the action that drives the narrative, but the torments, doubts, ambitions, and love for people and books that dictate the course of events.

The sequence of events is presented in the same seemingly disconnected manner that governs the human mind. Virginia Woolf's genius presents us with delicious symmetry, for while Jacob seems to escape the pages, she also brings a plethora of other fascinating characters, who appear in five lines never to return. This book is a modernist milestone, determining the author's fame and maturity. It is unbelievable to see how this book still exudes vigor, novelty, creativity, beauty!
