Orlando by Virginia Woolf

This is a pocket-size edition

A Gender-Defying, Time-Bending Classic of English Literature—Now in a Stunning Collector’s Edition
A satirical, sensuous journey through 400 years of identity, transformation, and history.

One of BBC’s 100 Novels That Shaped Our World, Orlando is Virginia Woolf’s groundbreaking and delightfully unconventional novel that blurs the boundaries of gender, time, and biography. Originally inspired by Woolf’s lover, Vita Sackville-West, this timeless literary gem remains a bold exploration of identity and self-expression.

Beginning in Elizabethan England, young nobleman Orlando enjoys wealth, privilege, and the pleasures of courtly life. But after being appointed ambassador to Constantinople, Orlando awakens one day to discover a transformation: he has become a woman. Unfazed, Orlando embarks on a four-century journey through English history, living through shifting societies, literary revolutions, and changing gender roles—from Shakespearean intrigue to Jazz Age modernity.
