Day and night (1919) is the only one of the nine novels of Virginia Wolfe (1882-1941), the undisputed classic of world literature of the twentieth century, which has not previously translated into Russian. An unexpected topic, an unusual style is another, not familiar to us Virginia Wolfe.
In the center of the narration - two families. On one pole - Hillbury, hereditary writers, Higher Middle Class, on the other - Damema, a large family, English Lowest Middle Class. The young heroine of Catherine Hilbury randomly meets Ralph Damem, a novice lawyer, a publicist, not accepting authorities. Passion flashes - and light, and flour for the in love, Ralph is torn, Catherine leaves. It should be waiting for the montext war and cabbage of the twentieth century? .. The exotic paintings of the London literary bohemia are replaced by episodes of violent activity of a bunch of enthusiasts working for the benefit of ordinary people. Grotesque scenes of Victorian tea drinking in the spirit of Carrollovskaya Alice are interrupted by Shakespeare"s notes of the dream of love.
War of clans will not be. But the heroes have to get out of the shell of generally accepted life schemes, find their way in the upcoming new life. Situation - London. He is hardly the main hero of the book. The city, who remembers all the turns of history and culture, where all the roles seem to be pre-determined in advance and where faster than anywhere in the world become noticeable features of a new life.
Big theme of modernism, very important from Wolfe - a new century argues with the old syphilis - gives it to the most voluminous novel of the outline of the new aesthetics: the accuracy of the fact, the completeness of the description of psychology, the picture of life, captured in the eternal movement Day and Night Nutty. The unique Wulf intonation is striking - lightweight, dancing, ironic.
Under one cover with Roman, for the first time in Russian translation, fragments are published from the memories V. Wolf about the center of London Bohemia Old Bloomsbury (1920s), sketching of the past (1940) and Critical Review (1919) Catherine Mansfield on Day and night, barely not worth her friendship with the writer. The reader is also offered: rare photos of the English life of the end of the XIX - early twentieth century, the article Wolfovened, commentator and translator of Natalia Ringold, thorough notes are the first case of commented edition of Romanov V. Wolf in Russia
