Orlando

"I'm sick to death of this particular self. I want another."
Inspired by Woolf's lover and close friend, Orlando is a satirical history of English literature. It's depiction of sexchange accompanies a brave early illustration of genderfluidity in literature.
"No passion is stronger in the breast of a man than the desire to make others believe as he believes."

Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) ranks among the major literary figures of all time. With her novels, including Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and The Waves, she reinvented the art of storytelling and shaped modern culture's self-understanding to the present day. In landmark essays, letters, and diaries, Woolf insisted on a woman's right to tell her story on her own terms.
