Apresentando Mrs. Dalloway: um dos grandes romances do modernismo – part. Mell Ferraz

The old narrative style of the 19th century couldn't handle the urban, technological, and psychological transformations that were brewing at the beginning of the 20th century. The English writer Virginia Woolf, aware of this, sought to use new ways to narrate what she herself felt and observed around her. Stream of consciousness, therefore, presents itself as the ideal narrative technique, since it consists of a deep dive into the most diverse layers of the human mind. Mrs. Dalloway, one of the greatest novels of modernism, is an excellent example of the technique in practice: in it, the narrator freely explores the thoughts and memories of the characters, a process triggered when Clarissa Dalloway, an English socialite, decides to buy the flowers herself to decorate her grand party. To discover more about this extraordinary work, we chatted with Mell Ferraz: creator of @MellFerraz and a devoted Virginia Woolf fan. Mell has a deep connection to the book and presented our edition of Mrs. Dalloway – which also features previously unpublished illustrations by Sabrina Gevaerd, a direct translation from English by Stephanie Fernandes and Thaís Paiva, and additional texts by Ana Carolina Mesquita, Carola Saavedra, and Sabrina Gevaerd. A book by a revolutionary writer in an edition made entirely by women. ► Link to Mell Ferraz's channel, Literature-se: https://bit.ly/308PzAM ► Get your copy of Mrs. Dalloway: https://amzn.to/2z2Kv5Y ► Build your Antofágica Library: https://amzn.to/2LqKxbn ► We look forward to your visit to our city:   / antofagica     / antofagica     / antofagica
