书籍简介

《阿弗小传》是二十世纪英国大作家弗吉尼亚·伍尔芙一本难得的谐趣之作。

阿弗是维多利亚时代女诗人勃郎宁夫人的一条小狗，陪伴了她缠绵病榻的年月，zui近距离地见证了她与大诗人勃郎宁的相识相恋，并参与了他们的私奔，从阴郁湿冷的英国伦敦来到了阳光明媚的意大利乡间，开始了自由自在的美妙生活。

本书是阿弗的传记，透过一条小狗的视角，再现了桂冠诗人夫妇的浪漫爱情传奇和宇宙中不同生命形式间的神秘联系，同时也表达了对沉闷都市生活的厌倦和对自然的向往。伍尔芙*为关注的女性主义、现代主义主题在其中也时有巧妙表达。

与作者其他晦涩朦胧的实验作品相比，这部小说手法相对传统，视角独特，语言诙谐机智，是一本有趣而深刻的小书。

'Things are not simple but complex. If he bit Mr. Browning he bit her too. Hatred is not hatred; hatred is also love.'

作者简介

艾德琳·弗吉尼亚·伍尔芙（Adeline Virginia Woolf，1882年1月25日-1941年3月28日），英国女作家、文学批评家和文学理论家，意识流文学代表人物，被誉为二十世纪现代主义与女性主义的先锋。

两次世界大战期间，她是伦敦文学界的核心人物，同时也是布卢姆茨伯里派（Bloomsbury Group）的成员之一。*知名的小说包括《达洛维夫人》（Mrs. Dalloway）《到灯塔去》（To the Lighthouse）等。

Virginia Woolf is now recognized as a major twentieth-century author, a great novelist and essayist and a key figure in literary history as a feminist and a modernist. Born in 1882, she was the daughter of the editor and critic Leslie Stephen, and suffered a traumatic adolescence after the deaths of her mother, in 1895, and her step-sister Stella, in 1897, leaving her subject to breakdowns for the rest of her life. Her father died in 1904 and two years later her favourite brother Thoby died suddenly of typhoid.

With her sister, the painter Vanessa Bell, she was drawn into the company of writers and artists such as Lytton Strachey and Roger Fry, later known as the Bloomsbury Group. Among them she met Leonard Woolf, whom she married in 1912, and together they founded the Hogarth Press in 1917, which was to publish the work of T. S. Eliot, E. M. Forster and Katherine Mansfield as well as the earliest translations of Freud. Woolf lived an energetic life among friends and family, reviewing and writing, and dividing her time between London and the Sussex Downs. In 1941, fearing another attack of mental illness, she drowned herself.

Her first novel, The Voyage Out, appeared in 1915, and she then worked through the transitional Night and Day (1919) to the highly experimental and impressionistic Jacob's Room (1922). From then on her fiction became a series of brilliant and extraordinarily varied experiments, each one searching for a fresh way of presenting the relationship between individual lives and the forces of society and history. She was particularly concerned with women's experience, not only in her novels but also in her essays and her two books of feminist polemic, A Room of One's Own (1929) and Three Guineas (1938).

Her major novels include Mrs Dalloway (1925), the historical fantasy Orlando (1928), written for Vita Sackville-West, the extraordinarily poetic vision of The Waves (1931), the family saga of The Years (1937), and Between the Acts (1941). All these are published by Penguin, as are her Diaries, Volumes I-V, and selections from her essays and short stories.
