In a single day in postwar London, Clarissa Dalloway prepares to host a party. As she walks through the city buying flowers and recalling her youth, thoughts, memories, and hidden desires intertwine in her mind like a quiet river. Virginia Woolf unveils the inner lives of Clarissa and those around her: Peter Walsh, Sally Seton, Septimus Warren Smith — souls searching for meaning amid the noise of modern life and the invisible scars of war.

First published in 1925, Mrs. Dalloway stands as one of the masterpieces of literary modernism. With poetic and innovative prose, Woolf transforms a single day into a profound meditation on time, memory, and identity.

Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) was a British novelist, essayist, and critic, considered one of the most influential figures in twentieth-century literature. A member of the Bloomsbury Group, she revolutionized modern narrative through her introspective style and innovative use of stream of consciousness. Author of essential works such as Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse and Orlando, she explored themes of identity, time, and the female condition. Her life and writing left an enduring mark on world literature and contemporary feminist thought.
