Jacob's Room

Penguin Modern Classics 1st Edition, published 1965.

Jacob's Room is Virginia Woolf's first truly experimental novel. It is a portrait of a young man, tracing his life from childhood, to Cambridge University, and to his early adult life in artistic London. Jacob always yearns for something greater, and embarks on a voyage to the Mediterranean before the war begins and his fate is forever altered. Impressionistic in style, the narrative is as inspired now as it was when it first appeared.

Condition grading: Good. Creases to front cover top right hand corner. Couple of small marks to front cover. Minor wear to ends of tanned spine. Very light foxing to both covers. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
