The British novelist, critic and essayist Virginia Stephen Woolf is considered one of the most authentic writers of England in the period between the First and the Second World Wars. Being discontented with the novels on the basis of the well-known, actual and apparent, Woolf went on her own experimental way. Walking along this path, the writer discovered a more internal, subjective interpretation of life experience, which is reflected in all of her creative works. It is also worth mentioning about the impact of such famous people such as Henry James, Marcel Proust and James Joyce on her work. ...

In Tom Regan's article “The Case for Animal Rights,” he makes the case for the rights of animals on the basis of equal treatment of all living things that possess inherent value.
