The years covered by the third volume of the diaries are the most fruitful period of Virginia Woolf's life. It was during this time that she created one of her masterpieces, To the Lighthouse, and the first draft of the novel Waves, and also published Mrs. Dalloway, Orlando, and the famous essay A Room of One's Own. As a diarist, Virginia reveals all aspects her life, from everyday and social minutiae to the more complex theme of her love for Vita Sackville-West or, at the end of the volume, Ethel Smith's love for her. She shares other intimate thoughts: about marriage and childbirth, about death, about choosing clothes, about the secrets of your mind. From time to time, Virginia turns to the chronicle, describing, for example, the General Strike, and also sketches portraits of Thomas Hardy, George Moore, W.B. Yeats and Edith Sitwell. For the first time in Russian.
