L'habitació d'en Jacob

In Jacob's Room, we follow the life of Jacob Flanders, accompanying him during his childhood, his university journey at Cambridge and his adult life through the eyes of the women around him, which show us a portrait full of nuances of an absent protagonist to the point that it seems that Jacob can only exist as a compilation of memories and sensations. Jacob's room represents a leap in the narrative style of Virginia Woolf, who departs with this work from the conventional form she had followed until then and experiments with new and daring literary forms. A deliberately ambiguous story, masterfully built around an absence, which constituted Virginia Woolf's entry into modernism.
