书籍简介

《雅各布的房间》是弗吉尼亚-伍尔夫的第三部长篇小说，与前作《夜与昼》相比篇幅较短。她自己说，她通过把所有内容都写进去，学会了如何舍弃。雅各布的房间》讲述的可能是一个年轻人从童年到在一战中死去的简单故事，但它的意义远不止于此：它巧妙地控诉了一个灌输顺从、崇尚军国主义的社会。

因此，雅各布的死看似偶然，实则必然。详尽的注释澄清了无数顺带提及的典故，这应促使人们重新评估《雅各布的房间》，将其视为伟大的现代主义杰作之一，与《尤利西斯》和《荒原》一起在1922年这一标志性年份占据一席之地。该书的导言内容充实，详细介绍了小说的创作、出版和早期评论界的接受情况，并附有创作年表和伍尔夫的生平年表。

Jacob's Room, Virginia Woolf's third novel, is short compared with its predecessor Night and Day. She said herself that she learnt what to leave out by putting it all in. Jacob's Room may be read as the simple story of a young man's life from youth until his death in the First World War, but it is much more than that: it subtly indicts a society that instils obedience and celebrates militarism.

Consequently, Jacob's death seems random yet inevitable. Extensive explanatory notes clarify the myriad passing allusions, which should lead to a reassessment of Jacob's Room as one of the great modernist masterpieces, taking its place with Ulysses and The Waste Land in the iconic year of 1922. The substantial introduction includes a detailed account of the novel's composition, publication, and early critical reception, together with chronologies of composition and of Woolf's life.
