Orlando
Virginia Woolf
£18.99
Description
A beautiful deluxe gift edition of Woolf’s delightful, boundary-pushing classic, with foiled covers, marbled endpapers, sprayed edges, beautiful paper and finished with a silk ribbon.
As his tale begins, Orlando is a passionate young nobleman whose days are spent in rowdy revelry, filled with the colourful delights of Queen Elizabeth’s court. By the close, he will have transformed into a modern, thirty-six-year-old woman and three centuries will have passed. Orlando will not only witness the making of history from its edge, but will find that his unique position as a woman who knows what it is to be a man will give him insight into matters of the heart.

Publisher Review
Orlando has sometimes been dismissed as a romp. As a less important book than Mrs Dalloway or To the Lighthouse. This is to misread it. It was far ahead of its time in terms of gender politics and gender progress -- Jeanette Winterson A brilliant book that teaches you so much about identity and love - all these fundamental questions that we ask ourselves -- Emma Corrin I read this book and believed it was a hallucinogenic, interactive biography of my own life and future -- Tilda Swinton
