THE YEARS - VIRGINIA WOOLF TASCHENBUCH

It is 1880: after visiting his mistress in the London suburbs  Colonel Pargiter returns home to
his children and his dying wife. In a series of snapshots we meet all the Pargiter siblings:
twenty-year-old Eleanor  whose concern is to help the poor  her younger sisters Milly  Delia
and Rose  her brothers Morris  Martin and Edward  who is at Oxford and in love with his cousin
Kitty. As the years unfold  the various threads of relation  history and personal experience
are woven into the tapestries of the characters' lives  forming a larger canvas that covers not
only the story of a family  but that of two entire generations. The most ambitious of Woolf 's
novels  and the last one to be published during her lifetime  The Years is a work suff used
with a haunting  melancholy sense of time and history  and a stylistic tour de force.
