Orlando invites readers to explore a dazzling narrative that spans over three centuries and challenges every convention of identity and time. As the protagonist transforms from a young Elizabethan nobleman into a woman navigating the modern world, Woolf deftly delves into the fluidity of gender, the nature of self, and the evolution of society. Inspired by her muse Vita Sackville-West, Orlando remains a bold and playful celebration of transformation, creativity, and the enduring power of living beyond the limits imposed by time or tradition.

 

“As long as she thinks of a man, nobody objects to a woman thinking.”

 

  • Explore centuries of history through a single unforgettable life that defies the bounds of time and tradition.
  • Delve into the fluidity of gender and identity as Orlando transforms from nobleman to noblewoman across eras.
  • Experience a bold celebration of individuality, challenging norms with wit and grace.
  • Engage with a pioneering work of feminist and queer literature that still inspires today.
  • Journey through vivid settings, from Elizabethan courts to roaring 20th-century London, alive with cultural change.

Virginia Woolf was born as Adeline Virginia Stephen in Kensington, London, in 1882. Raised by her parents in their literate and well-connected household, she was influenced by the Victorian literary society and the prominent British intellectuals of her time. Virginia began writing in her teens. Her reviews were published anonymously in the Times Literary Supplement and other journals. The Voyage Out, originally titled Melymbrosia, was her first novel published in 1915 by Duckworth. She developed her art and went on to publish a number of novels including Night and Day (1919), Jacob’s Room (1922), Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), Orlando (1928), The Waves (1931), and The Years (1937). Mrs Dalloway is one of her best-known works. A Room of One’s Own (1929) and Three Guineas (1938) are among her famous non-fiction books. Virginia Woolf’s works have been translated into more than fifty languages. She continues to remain one of the significant writers of the twentieth century.
