Virginia Woolf's first book - "By the Sea Away" - is a traditional novel in form, but it already shows the features that made the writer famous: an innovative style of narration, penetration into the inner world of the characters and elegant prose.
Young Rachel goes on a sea cruise from London to a resort on the coast of South America. She is a free spirit, far from the prejudices and conventions of society, the world of politics and strong feelings. And this journey will be full of discoveries for Rachel: about herself, others and life.
The novel "Years" - a series of portraits and sketches from the lives of three generations of a British family against the backdrop of the changing world of the last decades of the nineteenth century and the first twentieth, in which the external and internal, public and personal intertwine. Gasoline engines replace horses, electric lamps replace gas lamps, World War I erupts and the British Empire disintegrates, and against the backdrop of the events of world history traces the fortunes of the Pargeter family - moments of intimacy and estrangement, anxieties and triumphs. This novel became the most famous in the writer's lifetime, hitting the New York Times bestseller list.
