A deep study of the English writer, criticism and author of our bestseller "Lonely City" dedicated to how history lives in the landscape, and why ghosts never leave their favorite places. More than sixty years after Virginia Wolf drowned in 1941 (hence the name of the book), Lang, went all the way along the Uzsex River in Sussex: from the source to Sorden, where the river flows into sea. In the book, the author raises various topics - from the brutal Baron War in the XIII century to "Dinosaurs" hunters" in the nineteenth, - recalls Shakespeare, Homer, Iris Murdok and Kenneth Graham, the author of the coastal classics" Wind in Ivas", and considers the role of rivers in human Life, tracing their confusing stream in literature and mythology. But the central of all ghosts remains Virginia Wolf, a constant companion of Lang on this journey, so the book can be read as a biography of this unique English writer
