Virginia Woolf
The beauty of A Room of Ones Own is that it serves as an example of peace of mind, which, as Wooolf insists, is the defining quality of all great artists. Her transparent and elegant essay is devoted not only to the necessary material conditions of writing, but also to the self-overcoming of the creator. Virginia Woolf, in her essay, talks about a womans right to work. The writer considers a centuries-old story during which a woman was only a silent shadow of a man.

Za wszelką cenę chce odkryć prawdę, która przed laty zniszczyła ich rodzinę. Kierują nią gniew i niepohamowana żądza zemsty.

Poruszająca opowieść o miłości silniejszej niż śmierć. I o cenie, którą trzeba za nią zapłacić. *** Yun mistrzowsko buduje atmosferę powoli narastającej grozy, pokazując, jak rodzinne historie potrafią prześladować kolejne pokolenia.
