Orlando: A Daring Literary Journey Through Time, Gender, and Identity

A man. A woman. Four centuries of life. One unforgettable story. Orlando: A Biography is Virginia Woolf's dazzling, genre-defying masterpiece—a playful, profound, and poetic exploration of identity that transcends the boundaries of time and gender.

Inspired by Woolf's intimate relationship with writer and iconoclast Vita Sackville-West, Orlando follows its titular hero(ine) from the Elizabethan court to the 20th century—beginning life as a nobleman and awakening centuries later as a woman. Along the way, Orlando navigates changing fashions, lovers, empires, and cultural expectations, all while confronting the eternal question: Who am I, really?

A revolutionary blend of fiction, biography, and fantasy, Orlando is a celebration of self-reinvention, artistic expression, and queer identity—written with Woolf's signature wit, lyricism, and courage.

"The longest and most charming love letter in literature." — Nigel Nicolson "Woolf's wildest, boldest, and most brilliant book." — The Guardian "Decades ahead of its time—and still more modern than most novels today." — Goodreads Reviewer

Perfect for fans of experimental fiction, gender studies, LGBTQ+ literature, and literary modernism, Orlando remains a triumph of imagination and a testament to the freedom of the human spirit.
