Información sobre este eBook
In Virginia Woolf's groundbreaking novel, 'Orlando,' the reader is taken on a journey through time and gender as the protagonist lives over 300 years, transitioning from male to female. The book's fluid narrative style challenges traditional literary conventions, while exploring themes of sexuality, identity, and societal expectations. Woolf's use of stream-of-consciousness writing and poetic language creates a dream-like atmosphere that blurs the boundaries between reality and fantasy. 'Orlando' is a significant work in the literary canon for its feminist perspective and innovative storytelling techniques. Virginia Woolf's personal experiences with gender identity and her interest in the fluidity of identity likely influenced her creation of this thought-provoking and visionary novel. I recommend 'Orlando' to readers interested in exploring themes of gender, identity, and the nature of storytelling through Woolf's lyrical prose and inventive narrative structure.
Acerca del autor
Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) remains one of the most innovative and influential writers of the 20th century. Woolf was born into an intellectual family in London and grew up amidst the influences of her father, Sir Leslie Stephen's literary society. As a central figure in the Bloomsbury Group, Woolf revolutionized narrative forms and introduced new ways of exploring the human consciousness. She is admired for her contributions to modernist literature, particularly her use of stream-of-consciousness and lyrical prose. Her works frequently examine the complexities of time, memory, and individual perception, artfully collapsing boundaries between the internal and external worlds of her characters. 'Orlando: A Biography' (1928), one of her most celebrated novels, playfully crosses genre divides and breaks traditional narratives regarding sex and gender, as it traces the centuries-long adventures of its androgynous protagonist. This work exemplifies Woolf's literary style, characterized by wit and a flair for the poetic. Beyond 'Orlando,' Woolf authored numerous novels, essays, and short stories of critical acclaim such as 'Mrs. Dalloway' (1925), 'To the Lighthouse' (1927), and 'A Room of One's Own' (1929), in which she famously asserted, 'A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.' Woolf's contributions to literature and feminist discourse remain profound, and her writing continues to be extensively studied, admired, and enjoyed for its depth, innovation, and beauty.
