Synopsis "Cuentos Completos (in Spanish)"

En 1944, tres años después del suicidio de Virginia Woolf, su viudo publicó dieciocho cuentos que reunió bajo el título de A Haunted House and Other Short Stories. Se trataba de un proyecto en el que habían trabajado juntos, pero que no lograron llevar a término durante la vida de la escritora inglesa. Son estos dieciocho relatos los que conforman la presente edición ilustrada, donde la prosa de Woolf se desborda en imágenes que demuestran cómo el alma es, por naturaleza, solitaria. Los personajes de estos cuentos transitan un mundo que se hace infinito en hilos de pensamiento. Una pareja discute en una fiesta sobre quién tiene más bondad, quién entiende más la belleza. Una estudiante se sumerge en un trance imaginario que termina en un beso con su profesora de piano. Los movimientos de flora y fauna son los protagonistas de Kew Gardens mientras distintos grupos de personas pasan con sus problemas humanos de turno.Por primera vez se traduce a Virginia Woolf en Colombia, en manos del Colectivo Barbárika, perteneciente a la Asociación Colombiana de Traductores,Terminólogos e Intérpretes (actti). En un taller que duró toda la pandemia, estos catorce intérpretes se enfrentaron a las dificultades propias del estilo woolfiano, tratando de conservar su textura particular, sus inesperados cambios de voz, su sintaxis personalísima. El resultado es una maravillosa traducción que honra el relieve propio de los cuentos de una de las escritoras más importantes de la literatura occidental.

Virginia Woolf was born in London on January 25, 1882, and died on March 28, 1941, drowned in the River Ouse. After her father's death, the well-known man of letters Sir Leslie Stephen, Virginia and her sister Vanessa left the elegant Kensington neighborhood and moved to the bohemian Bloomsbury, which named the brilliant literary group formed around the Stephen sisters. Among its members were T. S. Eliot, Bertrand Russell, Vita Sackville-West, and the writer Leonard Woolf, whom Virginia married and with whom she ran the prestigious Hogarth Press. From her early works, Virginia Woolf highlighted her intention to take novels beyond mere narration. In Mrs. Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927), the author expressed the inner feelings of the characters with her own techniques, achieving great psychological effects through images, metaphors, and symbols. Her technique was consolidated with Orlando (1931) and The Waves (1931), which secured her an indisputable place within the finest world literature. Additionally, Woolf wrote essays as famous as A Room of One's Own (1929), which still inspires new generations of women today, literary criticism articles like those compiled in The Common Reader (1925, 1932) and in Genius and Ink (2021), or the biography of the English poet Elizabeth Barrett's dog, Flush (1933). All these works are published by Lumen.

Hasta la mitad, los relatos son vacíos y sin interés. En adelante, son tan buenos como cabría esperar de Virginia Wolf.
