O książce

In a world of silk and diamonds, who's conning whom?


In The Duchess and the Jeweller, Virginia Woolf spins a taut, glittering tale about Oliver Bacon, London's most fashionable jeweller, who has risen from rags to riches. When the Duchess of Lambourne, a symbol of fading aristocracy, arrives with a suspiciously convenient offer, a psychological battle unfolds—one of class, ego, and hidden motives.


Told in Woolf's signature stream-of-consciousness style, this short story is both a character portrait and a subtle critique of materialism and social pretense. In just a few pages, Woolf masterfully reveals the fragile power plays between wealth and status, truth and illusion.


Why this story is a hidden gem:


A brilliant example of modernist storytelling in short form


Explores greed, manipulation, and class anxiety with elegance


Showcases Woolf's mastery of interior monologue and layered meaning


A thought-provoking read for fans of psychological fiction and social satire


Perfect for readers who enjoy:


Short fiction with depth and literary elegance


Modernist prose and social critique


Stories of moral conflict and internal tension


Classic literature with rich symbolic meaning


What readers are saying:


"A tight, sparkling piece of social commentary—Woolf at her most clever." – Modernist Fiction Review


"Brief but biting. It leaves you thinking long after the final line." – Amazon Reviewer
