Her novels can perhaps best be described as impressionistic, a literary style which attempts to inspire impressions rather than recreating reality.This selection specially chosen by the literary critic August Nemo, contains the following stories:A Haunted HouseKew GardensAn Unwritten NovelSolid ObjectsThe Mark on the WallMrs. Dalloway in the Bond StreetThe Lady in the Looking Glass

Born into a privileged English household in 1882, author Virginia Woolf was raised by free-thinking parents. She began writing as a young girl and published her first novel, The Voyage Out, in 1915. She wrote modernist classics including Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse and Orlando, as well as pioneering feminist works, A Room of One's Own and Three Guineas. In her personal life, she suffered bouts of deep depression. She committed suicide in 1941, at the age of 59.
