description: Jacob's Room is a novel written by Virginia Woolf, published in 1922. The book is a modernist novel that explores the life of Jacob Flanders, a young man who is striving to find his place in the world. The novel is divided into three sections, each of which focuses on a different stage in Jacob's life. The first section of the book takes place in Jacob's childhood and adolescence, and introduces us to his family and friends. The second section takes place during Jacob's time at Cambridge University, where he begins to explore his intellectual and artistic interests. The third and final section of the book takes place during Jacob's adulthood, where he is living in London and trying to find his place in the world. Throughout the novel, Woolf uses a stream-of-consciousness style of writing to explore Jacob's inner thoughts and feelings. The book also features a number of other characters who are important to Jacob's life, including his mother, his friends, and various lovers. Overall, Jacob's Room is a complex and deeply introspective novel that explores themes of identity, gender, and the search for meaning in life. It is considered one of Woolf's most important works, and is a key example of modernist literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
