A man becomes a woman. Centuries unfold. Identity is fluid.
In Orlando, Virginia Woolf weaves one of the most dazzling and original novels of the 20th century. The story follows Orlando, a young Elizabethan nobleman favored by Queen Elizabeth I, who lives through more than three centuries of English history — experiencing the Restoration, the Enlightenment, the Victorian age, and the modern era — while mysteriously transforming from a man into a woman. With wit, lyricism, and playful brilliance, Woolf explores the fluidity of gender, the passage of time, the nature of identity, and the constraints placed on women throughout history. A groundbreaking blend of fantasy, biography, and social satire, Orlando remains a joyful and profound celebration of freedom and self-discovery.
