Still hopefully turning the pages -- oh, here is Jacob's room.'\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWho is Jacob Flanders? Virginia Woolf's third novel, published in 1922 alongside James Joyce's \u003cem\u003eUlysses\u003c\/em\u003e and T.S. Eliot's \u003cem\u003eThe Waste Land\u003c\/em\u003e, follows this elusive title character from a sunlit childhood on the Cornwall coast to adventures in Cambridge, London, and Athens. Women fall in love with Jacob;\u003cbr\u003eyoung men desire his company and conversation. But Woolf keeps her scornful, charming protagonist at a distance, enveloping Jacob in mystery as he enters adulthood and the Great War thunders across Europe. A daring work that reimagines every element of the traditional novel, \u003cem\u003eJacob's Room\u003c\/em\u003e tells a new\u003cbr\u003estory for a new century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 1922, Lytton Strachey pronounced Jacob's Room 'a most wonderful achievement--more like poetry, it seems to me, than anything else, and as such I prophesy immortal.' One hundred years after its publication, Woolf 's first full-length work of experimental fiction pulls us into the inexhaustible\u003cbr\u003emysteries of intimacy and mortality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780192857392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240","brand":"Virginia Woolf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42314667753653,"sku":"9780192857392","price":8.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_cb1b0e88-16d2-47a1-b845-8e721a44c5ef.jpg?v=1659412090","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/jacobs-room-9780192857392","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
