Covering the years 1897-1909, these journals complete the autobiographical sequence of Virginia Woolf's diary and letters and provide a picture of the circumstances in which she taught herself her craft. Many of the incidents of these years were to profoundly influence the rest of her life and were to become recurring themes in her novels: the death of her father, trips to Spain, Italy and Greece, and first encounters with those who were to form the Bloomsbury group.

Nakon smrti svoje majke trinaestogodišnja Virdžinija doživela je svoj prvi nervni slom od kojeg se dugo vremena oporavljala. Kao jedan vid lečenja počela je da vodi dnevnik čiji je srpski prevod prvog (od ukupno šest) toma nedavno objavila pomalo šašava izdavačka kuća „Ukronija“. Na početku dnevnika upoznajemo gotovo običnu petnaestogodišnju klinku da bi vremenom, kako zapisi odmiču, devojčurak na naše oči sazrevao i intelektualno i duhovno cvetao. I to veoma brzo jer je Virdžinija od terapije pisanje dnevnika pretvorila u vežbanje, da ne kažem treniranje, svojih spisateljskih sposobnosti. U pitanju su izabrani zapisi, ideja prevodioca i priređivača bila je da nas upozna sa duhovnim svetom jedne od najvećih književnica, tako da su neki svakodnevni događaji propušteni da bi se našlo više mesta za Virdžinijine misli, osećanja, ideje… Ipak, ovo nije samo dnevnik osećaja, već i dnevnik događaja. U njemu su svoje mesto našli opisi Virdžinijih putovanja, isprva samo po Ostrvu, a kasnije i u Grčku, Italiju, Španiju… Tu su takođe i susreti sa kućnim prijateljima njene porodice i, docnije, njenim među kojima se nalaze brojne slavne i manje slavne ličnosti iz kulturnog i društvenog života Velike Britanije na samom koncu vladavine čuvene kraljice Viktorije. Ovi zapisi će nam pomoći da upoznamo jednu drugačiju Virdžiniju. Ne onu sumornu žgoljavicu koja je jednog dana odlučila da uđe u reku sa kamenjem u džepovima. Ne. Čitajući stranice njenog dnevnika upoznajemo jednu drugačiju, obično-neobičnu, ženu. Ženu koja je bila jedna od najobrazovanijih i najinteligentnijih žena u Velikoj Britaniji. Ženu uvek nasmejanu i raspoloženu za šalu i ironiju. Ženu koja je bila draga sestra i prijateljica, obožavana tetka, supruga i spisatelj…ups… književnica kakvu svet retko viđa.

This is Virginia Woolf's early journals, 1897-1909. Virginia is just fifteen years old in the beginning of this book. She has lost her mother, but has almost a second one in her half sister Stella. You can see Virginia developing as a writer as the book goes forward. You read about her days with her father, sister Vanessa, brothers Adrian, and Toby, and her half siblings Stella, Gerald, and George Duckworth. This book follows the siblings as they are growing up and becoming adults. Virginia endea
This is Virginia Woolf's early journals, 1897-1909. Virginia is just fifteen years old in the beginning of this book. She has lost her mother, but has almost a second one in her half sister Stella. You can see Virginia developing as a writer as the book goes forward. You read about her days with her father, sister Vanessa, brothers Adrian, and Toby, and her half siblings Stella, Gerald, and George Duckworth. This book follows the siblings as they are growing up and becoming adults. Virginia endears many painful moment's, but maybe they help her become, the gifted writer she was. Anyone who loves Virginia Woolf or her sister, the talented artist Vanessa Bell will enjoy a peck into their early years.

Mnogo volim Virdžiniju Vulf kao ličnost. U prvom tomu dnevnika vidimo začetke pisanja i kritičkog mišljenja uz detalje iz njenog života.

Fascinating to read her journal entries starting from when she was fifteen--somewhat brief and boring entries at that time--progressing through somewhat whimsical writing to much stronger descriptive writing as a young adult. I especially love her travel journals and her descriptions of her beloved Cornwall coastline and the more desolate moors.

La lecture du journal d'un futur écrivain a quelque chose de touchant, surtout quand, comme Virginia Woolf, ce journal est commencé assez tôt, à l'age de quinze ans. Si les premières entrées n'ont que très peu d’intérêt stylistique, on la sens assez vite tatonner, tenter, frayer son chemin vers la carrière d'écrivaine qu'on lui connaît, et c'est un processus fascinant à découvrir. Attention cela dis, comme beaucoup de témoignages d'époque, racisme et antisémitisme sont au rendez vous.

Having dedicated a shelf to Virginia Woolf makes me into a collector maybe but not a reader. Although I didn't plan to leave my small collection unread I have been a little intimidated by Woolf's writing.

Having dedicated a shelf to Virginia Woolf makes me into a collector maybe but not a reader. Although I didn't plan to leave my small collection unread I have been a little intimidated by Woolf's writing. Last year I started at the very beginning with her very first diary, written when she was almost fifteen. Now it is as if I am tracing her steps in becoming a writer. The first section in A Passionate Apprentice is a collection of short accounts of her daily life in 1897. During the summer holidays of 1899 at The Rectory, Warboys, Huntingdonshire, Virginia Woolf kept a journal that was very different from that of 1897. Rather than the accounts of daily life in 1897, she now is wondering how a reader would respond to her words and you can find her practicing the art of essay-writing for the first time. Where will she go from here?

Charming to watch Woolf grow up; fascinating and sad to watch her put herself back together as a writer after several breakdowns. Her accounts of travels in Greece, Italy, and Turkey, as well as in rural England, are especially delightful.

Far from sentimentalist, these journals evidence Virginia's life, from aristocratic doings and views to a life soaked in culture encounters. The entries encompass the time when Virginia started to be able to claim that she was a writer for a living. Full of essayistic gems, this book invited you to regard Virginia as a friend and sheds a different, more personal light on her life's work.

She writes about what she’s going to write, and cents about writing struggles. Her progress is slow, but evident from beginning to end. If I hadn’t learned anything from all the other brilliant writers, this book shows years of free-writing for herself. Showing your work (journals and exercises) is an honest way to come up in the literary field.

Spoiler within text - don't read on... Interesting but couldn't finish someone's diary, so I will be putting it down as not finished. Maybe I will pick up at another date but for now I wander away from Virginia Woolf, enchanted to of met her although sad to learn she takes her life from____, before I got there on my own. Why lingers and maybe another book of hers will be easier reading. Such a high class life but even that holds despair. Who would of thought that.

A very well documented edition of Virginia Woolf (more properly Virginia Stephens) diaries. Hermione Lee provides a detailed and lengthy introduction that prepares the reader for the details of the diaries. The young years are also years of trauma and illness and discovery. A superbly done history of the formative years of on of Modernism best writers.

Ova ocena jedino i samo zbog užasbog prevoda i lekture.
I hesitate to "star" a journal, because the writer didn't compose his or her diary for the benefit, enjoyment or enrichment of others, however self-conscious said author might be. However, I would say while this journal had some lovely passages, it wasn't illuminating on the whole. It was actually quite depressing.

I hesitate to "star" a journal, because the writer didn't compose his or her diary for the benefit, enjoyment or enrichment of others, however self-conscious said author might be. However, I would say while this journal had some lovely passages, it wasn't illuminating on the whole. It was actually quite depressing. Written during the most difficult period of Virginia Woolf's life, it shows more about her psyche but why she doesn't say than what she does. It's very methodical and routine in the first few years. You could tell she was trying to rebuild her mind after her first nervous breakdown. The diary just stops before difficult periods and resumes after she recovers. The travel sections are actually less interesting despite being more than just an account of her daily tasks, because they feel more straightforward in a way. You infer less about her life at this point, because she's merely outlining travel. It was clear, however, that she was deeply devoted to becoming a writer and did all she could to make that happen. I was hoping this set of
