In 1922, Lytton Strachey pronounced Jacob\'s Room \'a most wonderful achievement--more like poetry, it seems to me, than anything else, and as such I prophesy immortal.\' One hundred years after its publication, Woolf \'s first full-length work of experimental fiction pulls us into the inexhaustible mysteries of intimacy and mortality..
A daring work that reimagines every element of the traditional novel, Jacob\'s Room tells a new story for a new century.
But Woolf keeps her scornful, charming protagonist at a distance, enveloping Jacob in mystery as he enters adulthood and the Great War thunders across Europe.
Women fall in love with Jacob; young men desire his company and conversation.
