    About this ebook

    Monday or Tuesday by Virginia Woolf is a collection of 8 short stories first published in 1921. Apparently, when it was originally published, the author's husband called it one of the worst printed books ever published, because it contained so many errors (these were corrected in later editions). The stories included in this collection are as follows: A Haunted House; A Society; Monday or Tuesday; An Unwritten Novel; The String Quartet; Blue and Green; Kew Gardens; and, The Mark on the Wall.

    Virginia Woolf

    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) gilt als Englands größte Autorin der Moderne. Ihre Romane werden in einem Atemzug mit James Joyce und Marcel Proust genannt, zudem verfasste sie zahllose Essays und hinterließ umfangreiche Tagebücher. Obwohl Tochter einer wohlhabenden Intellektuellen-Familie – Thomas Hardy und Henry James gingen in ihrem Elternhaus ein und aus – hat sie nie eine Schule, geschweige denn eine Universität besucht. 1917 gründete sie gemeinsam mit ihrem Mann Leonard den Verlag The Hogarth Press, in dem auch »Ein Zimmer für sich allein« erschien. Als Opfer sexuellen Missbrauchs in der Familie, litt sie zeitlebens unter wiederkehrenden schweren Depressionen. Am 28. März 1941 fand ihr Mann einen Brief auf dem Kaminsims, der mit den Zeilen begann: »Liebster, ich fühle deutlich, dass ich wieder verrückt werde ...« Virginia Woolfs Leiche wurde in einem nahegelegenen Fluss entdeckt.
