DESCRIPTION:
A fantasy, impossible but deliciousan exuberance of life and wit The Times Literary Supplement
VIRGINIA WOOLF (1882–1941) was one of the major literary figures of the twentieth century. An admired literary critic, she authored many essays, letters, journals, and short stories in addition to her groundbreaking novels.
He emerges as a young man at the court of Queen Elizabeth I and progresses, with breathtaking ease, through three centuries until, by now a woman, she arrives in the bustle and diversion of the 1920s. It was a roman à clef, a love letter for her lover, the charismatic, eccentric bisexual, Vita Sackville West. For Virginia Woolf, a leading figure of the Bloomsbury Group, Orlando was more than a fantastic flight of imagination. Orlando's journey, from wondrous youth barbed by love, to fêted writer, settled in her femininity, is a wild and curiously relevant fable for our times.. Orlando is one of the most unforgettable creations of twentieth-century literature
mfpm said Excellent author who writes wonderfully all the time.. Very intriguing. Gifted, prolific author.. A work of art and literature combined I love these clothbound classics--I am slowly building my collection of them. They are a bit pricey, but they are like works of art and literature combined. Beautiful designs and good print size.
