A gorgeous clothbound edition of Woolf's fantastical and enchanting
novel, designed by the acclaimed Coralie-Bickford Smith. Orlando
has always been an outsider... His longing for passion, adventure
and fulfilment takes him out of his own time. Chasing a dream
through the centuries, he bounds from Elizabethan England and
imperial Turkey to the modern world. Will he find happiness with
the exotic Russian Princess Sasha? Or is the dashing explorer
Shelmerdine the ideal man? And what form will Orlando take on the
journey - a nobleman, traveller, writer? Man or... woman? A wry
commentary on gender and history, Orlando is also, in Woolf's own
words, a light-hearted 'writer's holiday' which delights in
ambiguity and capriciousness. This clothbound Penguin edition is
edited by Brenda Lyons with an introduction and notes by Sandra M.
Gilbert. 'I read this book and believed it was a hallucinogenic,
interactive biography of my own life and future' Tilda Swinton
