About the book: 2022 / The Complete Diary of Virginia Woolf, according to her nephew Quentin Bell, is a masterpiece, ranking alongside the novels "The Waves" and “To the Lighthouse.” On January 1, 1915, Virginia decided to keep daily records. Interrupted just six weeks later by a severe nervous breakdown, she returned to the diary in 1917 and kept it for the rest of her life. These are probably the most intimate entries we have of her. The idea of ​​a diary, “written after tea, written unwisely,” was brought to life with amusing gossip and hard-hitting portraits of friends. But it contains much more brilliant descriptions; comments about books and reviewing, publishing, and one’s own creativity; reports on family life with Leonard, their social circle, weather, countryside, events and politics. The First World War is in full swing. Air raids occur on moonlit nights. By the end of the volume, the truce has lasted for a year, and Virginia declares: “... I dare say that we are the happiest couple in England.” For the first time in Russian.
