Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
Auteur van Mevrouw Dalloway
Over de Auteur
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 toon meer the nucleus of the Bloomsbury Group, a circle of 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) toon minder

Als fan van Virginia Woolf is dit boek een must read én een hebbeding. Zo blij dat uitgeverij HetMoet On being ill heeft vertaald (door Monique ter Berg) én heeft uitgegeven. Prachtig uitgegeven. Echt wel een hebbeding, ook visueel. De cover is mooi en als je de wikkel er af neemt is het boek zo waar nog mooier. HetMoet heeft oog voor detail, elk detail. Hun boeken zijn pareltjes. Fan!
Over ziek zijn bevat het essay van Woolf met dezelfde naam, een voorwoord van Rees-Jones en bijdrages van van Zonneveld en Marsman. Die laatste verscheen al eerder in De volgende scan duurt vijf minuten maar is het herlezen meer dan waard.
Elke schrijver vraagt op een heel eigen manier meer aandacht voor het ziek zijn an sich, de zieke én wat het in ziek zijn in een leven teweegbrengt. Er moet meer over geschreven en gepraat worden. Omdat het niet gaat over een Rijk der zieken (Hanna Bervoets gebruikend) maar over een wereld waar we allemaal, vroeg of laat, mee te maken krijgen.
Woolf laat ons naar de wolken kijken, Marsman heeft het over de waarde van levens én van centen, van Zonneveld voelt vreugde in haar geloof. Wat ze gemeen hebben is dat je aan hun pen gekluisterd wordt en meer wil. Meer lezen, meer leven.
Wat een mooi boek, in elke zin van het woord!… (meer)
