In Mrs Dalloway, Virginia Woolf explores the events of one day, impression by impression, minute by minute, as Clarissa Dalloway''s and Septimus Smith''s worlds look set to collide - this classic novel is beautifully repackaged as part of the Penguin Essentials range.

''She had a perpetual sense, as she watched the taxi cabs, of being out, out, far out to sea and alone; she always had the feeling that it was very, very dangerous to live even one day.''

Elsewhere in London Septimus Smith is being driven mad by shell shock. As the day draws to its end, hi
