About the book: 2013 / "Night and Day" (1919) is the second most recent novel by the famous English writer Virginia Woolf (1882–1941), one of the founders of modernist literature. This novel is largely autobiographical, although the author assured that the prototype of the main character Catherine was her sister Vanessa, whose name appears in the dedication. “Night and Day” is similar to a classic English novel: there is a love triangle, lyrical sketches colored with humor, lengthy dialogues, detailed descriptions of nature and everyday life. However, the author fills the traditional form with new content: this is the attitude of the main characters to love and marriage. Catherine and Ralph are dreamers, their attempts to get closer are burdened with painful thoughts, doubts about how true their feelings are. And yet, despite the setbacks, they confidently move from dream to reality, from night to day..
