Produktbeschreibung
"The Voyage Out" by Virginia Woolf is a narrative that explores the journey of Rachel Vinrace, a young woman embarking on a voyage to South America aboard her father's ship, the Euphrosyne. The novel opens with Rachel's relatives, Mr. and Mrs. Ambrose, joining the voyage, setting the stage for a series of interactions that reveal the complexities of human relationships and societal norms. As the ship sails away from England, the passengers, including the scholarly Mr. Pepper and the business-minded Willoughby Vinrace, engage in conversations that reflect their diverse perspectives on life, knowledge, and social conventions. Rachel, who has been raised in a sheltered environment by her aunts, finds herself in a world that challenges her understanding of herself and others. Her education, focused primarily on music, has left her with a limited grasp of the broader world, prompting her to question the values and beliefs she has been taught. Throughout the voyage, Rachel's introspection and interactions with the other passengers lead her to confront her own emotions and the societal expectations placed upon her as a woman. The novel delves into themes of self-discovery, the constraints of social norms, and the pursuit of personal freedom. Woolf's narrative style, characterized by its stream-of-consciousness technique, allows readers to delve deeply into Rachel's thoughts and the subtleties of her evolving consciousness. As the ship progresses on its journey, Rachel's experiences serve as a microcosm of the broader societal changes occurring in the early 20th century, highlighting the tension between tradition and modernity.
Autorenporträt
Adeline Virginia Woolf (25 January 1882 - 28 March 1941) was an English writer, considered one of the most important modernist 20th-century authors and a pioneer in the use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device. Woolf was born into an affluent household in South Kensington, London, the seventh child of Julia Prinsep Jackson and Leslie Stephen in a blended family of eight which included the modernist painter Vanessa Bell. She was home-schooled in English classics and Victorian literature from a young age. From 1897 to 1901, she attended the Ladies' Department of King's College London, where she studied classics and history and came into contact with early reformers of women's higher education and the women's rights movement.
