Jacob's Room

Meer over het boek

The narrative centers on Jacob Flanders, portraying his life through the perspectives of the women who surround him, emphasizing their memories and emotions. Woolf's innovative approach uses stream of consciousness and symbolic elements to delve into character psychology rather than a conventional plot. This experimental novel explores themes of existence and identity, presenting Jacob more as a reflection in others' lives than as a standalone character. Celebrated for its impressionistic style, it challenges traditional storytelling and highlights the complexity of human perception.
