Vintage Deco series, celebrating the decadence and drama of the Roaring Twenties. The 1920s continues to capture the collective imagination with its parties, jazz, female liberation, travel, wealth and flamboyance. Art Deco is one of the most visually distinctive eras of all time and these gorgeous editions are a distillation of that aesthetic.
Virginia Woolf's famous novel exploring a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, a wealthy women in England after World War I. Set around Clarissa's preparations for hosting a high society party, Woolf's narrative skips through time, and through the perspectives of multiple characters. "Mrs. Dalloway" has been included in Time's list of the 100 best English-language novels. At various times, the book has been banned for its depiction of homosexuality in the form of Clarissa's same-sex attraction to the character Sally Seton, and Septimus' relationship with his friend and commanding officer, Evans.
