The story is told mainly through the perspectives of the women in Jacob's life, including the repressed upper-middle-class Clara Durrant and the uninhibited young art student Florinda, with whom he has an affair. His time in London forms a large part of the story, though towards the end of the novel he travels to Italy and then Greece.

The novel centres, in a very ambiguous way, around the life story of the protagonist Jacob Flanders and is presented almost entirely through the impressions other characters have of Jacob. Thus, although it could be said that the book is primarily a character study and has little in the way of plot or background, the narrative is constructed with a void in place of the central character if, indeed, the novel can be said to have a 'protagonist' in conventional terms. Motifs of emptiness and absence haunt the novel and establish its elegiac feel. Jacob is described to us, but in such indirect terms that it would seem better to view him as an amalgam of the different perceptions of the characters and narrator. He does not exist as a concrete reality, but rather as a collection of memories and sensations.

5,0 su 5 stelle Deep Dive on Jacob's Room
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 8 dicembre 2023
Acquisto verificato
It goes without saying that this is an academic text (which includes the full text of the novel itself). For accessibility, one might be better off with a version of Jacob's Room with an introduction for a wide audience, but for a deep dive, this volume is outstanding. I particularly loved reading a wide range of excerpts of contemporary reviews of Jacob's Room, and the team that put this book together did a great job of assembling material like that.

Nobody goes to Woolf for the story, people go to Woolf for the beauty of the prose. Woolf's novels are always an innovative meditation on the English society and the changes it was facing, the value of Classicism and the footsteps of Modernity.

4,0 su 5 stelle Beautiful and sadly forgotten
Recensito in Australia il 19 ottobre 2015

This oft forgotten Woolf novel is her first experimental work. Though not as clearly conceived as some of her later experimental work, it is a gorgeous and profound novel. Jacob himself is not particularly likeable, but I was thrilled to have experienced the gorgeous prose.

4,0 su 5 stelle An Unexpectedly pleasant read !!
Recensito in India il 11 agosto 2020

First of all, for the edition.. it’s remarkable. Penguin’s Vintage editions are worth owning. I know it’s not right to judge the book by its cover but i’m guilty of it. I tend to buy the covers that are alluring and compel you to go for it. The text is fine and so is the quality.
Now coming to the Novel,

Jacob is a young man with conflicted emotions that oscillate between his sexual desires and thirst for knowledge.

Ok, for those who aren’t familiar with Woolf’s work, don’t start with this for it’s linear yet fragmented narrative will test your patience unlike any classic. Thankfully I had a fair idea of Virginia Woolf’s narrative style as I had already read Mrs. Dalloway, which by the way is less fragmented yet more enjoyable than this. But Jacob’s room stands tall among all other novels written by Woolf.
It’s scenic... It’s unexplainable... it’s unexpected... it’s indefinite... It’s beautiful.

We get to know Jacob from his childhood and follow him as he grows young and tries to quench his thirst to rise higher than his fellow peers and other humans to be exact.

But we don’t follow his life from Author’s POV. We follow Jacob from the observations of the people he come across in the train, or on the streets or the theatres or at their homes.

We get to know Jacob from the thoughts his friends and their families, and from the memories of his family and loved ones.
This story isn’t told from without. Instead, Virginia takes you within the story and make you live the life the characters lead. And she does a fine job.
‘Jacob’s Room’ is all about scenes and memories and thoughts strung together to create a novel that will test your intellect.

But be attentive. The scenes change with every turn of the page (sometimes even with a paragraph) and the tone changes with every scene. One moment you are staring out of the window of Jacob’s room and the other you are out on a street waiting with his woman for him. There are more than hundreds of characters and most of them are only there for one or two scenes. Some you’ll forget with the turn of the page and some stay. But few of them we follow until the end. And it’s through those characters we get to know what kind of life Jacob has and what he plan/or do not plan to do with it.

You don’t want to miss out on anything that comprises this beautifully experimented work.
