Description
Book Synopsis
A dazzling, time-defying journey of love, identity and transformation. Woolf's subversive novel remains radically modern.
Different though the sexes are, they intermix. In every human being a vacillation from one sex to the other takes place, and often it is only the clothes that keep the male or female likeness, while underneath the sex is the very opposite of what it is above. Orlando is a charming nobleman, a poet, and a vessel through which truth is exposed. Born in Elizabethan England, his life spans across centuries. He observes the shifting landscapes of history and time, noting these changes as they come. But one morning, he transforms into a woman. What begins as a fantastical romp through time becomes a profound meditation on gender, freedom and the fluidity of identity. With wit, lyricism and dazzling imagination, Virginia Woolf crafts a gender defying portrait of a soul unbound by society's labels. Woolf's masterful writing was ahead of its time. This novel is a bold rebellion against life's binaries and is brought to life with breathtaking interior art of Varvara Alay.Review Quotes
