Woolf's writings make you ponder. My English teacher and the school librarian were great fans of Virginia but because of the lack of classic readers, they had to exclude her from the library book list. But on seeing my best friend and my love towards her writing, they agreed to stock up a shelf, dedicate a shelf to her. And now whenever I see one of her books in the hands of a fellow student, I can't help but smile at the thought that someone's perspective of life is going to change.

I'm currently reading 'To the lighthouse' by her; never have I ever read any book with such an exquisite depiction of characters' inner worlds; they actually do transcend the reality that surrounds them with their marvellously lurid streams of conscience.

@NickBoston 3 жыл бұрын

To the Lighthouse is incredibly rich. I've never felt so moved by the written word before. I read Mrs. Dalloway earlier this year. I need to re-read it again after this. Her use of stream of consciousness, and the deep dive into the tiny details... those small things that seem insignificant. And yet life is made up of these insignificances. Nothing I have ever read has made me feel so human.

Hi Dewi! We're so glad you like the video. The pre-production stage of our pipeline (which includes concept, writing, editing, and fact checking) took about a month and a half. In terms of scripts, this is about as quick as it gets. The production portion (including recording voiceover, design, animation, music, and sound effects) took roughly 2.5 months, which is also one of the faster productions for a piece of this length. All told, about four months, and we loved pretty much every minute of making it.

@ladykenya 4 жыл бұрын

TED-Ed and in that four months how many people worked on this piece and pieces like this? I want full credits for all the amazing human beings that worked on this. Virginia Woolf never seemed interesting to me until now. But to be fair, all that was told to us in high school was that she was writer who ended her own life.

Virginia Woolf is better with context- I've only read Jacob's Room and Mrs Dalloway and both were a hard read to get into. It was somehow so simple- both relatively small books about fairly ordinary things- but the way it was done and the way I had to think to read it was a challenge. When I started watching biopics of her life and why she wrote the way she did and what she was trying to say it suddenly clicked. I still had to take my time to really absorb what was happening on each page- it's not one to read on autopilot- but my appreciation for her work grew immensely and it made so much more sense even changing the way I saw artistic expression and the world

There's also other single-work videos like the Tolstoy one, but the only one I can think of off the top of my head is the The Wizard of Oz one... (The "what makes something Orwellian" video focuses more on the word than on the work or the man, but I guess that one should be counted too.)

I've only read his essay 'What is Art?' and his short novel 'The Death of Ivan Ilych', but I think he is a superb writer! I definitely want to read more of his work. Ted-Ed has a wonderful video about his novel Peace & War if you're interested though.

I think he's brilliant. I loved his book Anna Karenina.

This video in general was beautiful... And the E. Albee reference at the end was just cherry on top of the cake. Absolutely loved this. ☺️

One must truly want to die, to suppress the body's own instinctual reflexes in the face of impeding death, while you coolly walk with stones in your coat pockets into the river Ouse to drown.

Please do "educated" by Tara Westover. She has such an extraordinary story and was even invited by Bill Gates to do an interview.

i feel so terrible that i never heard of her before, and only finding her in the most tragic way. i discovered her through her last letter, performed on Letters Live. it's just so tragic. i can't wait to finally get back to reading and getting the chance to read her works.
