✦ Synopsis


Neste envolvente exercício imaginativo, Virginia Woolf aborda questões de classe e gênero — temas tão cruciais na obra de uma das maiores escritoras do mundo — ao reconstituir a história de vida de um cão na Inglaterra vitoriana.

Logo após publicar o romance As ondas, Virginia Woolf começou a trabalhar em Flush, uma biografia do cocker spaniel da poeta Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-61). Nela, o leitor o acompanha desde o nascimento, passando por sua infância ao lado da escritora Mary Russell Mitford (1787-1855), até suas viagens para Pisa e Florença na companhia de Browning.

Apesar da premissa incomum, este livro é mais do que um mero divertimento literário: explora a ideia de uma vida livre da tirania das palavras e é um testemunho ímpar da trajetória pouco estudada das duas poetas inglesas, praticamente esquecidas desde a década de 1930.

Adotando o ponto de vista de um cão, Woolf sonda com humor inigualável as questões de classe e gênero na Londres vitoriana. Encantador, mas também radical, Flush é um exercício de imaginação, um texto aparentemente leve que aborda temas cruciais que irão perpassar toda a obra da autora.
