ABOUT THIS BOOK

One of Virginia Woolf ’s most remarkable works, Orlando, is written as a historical biography
paying homage to the family of Woolf ’s friend, Vita Sackville-West. Narrating the adventures of a
poet who goes from being a man to a woman, and mostly read as a feminist work today, Orlando
explores the boundaries of gender and sexuality and takes the readers into the journey of love and
acceptance through time. Satirizing Victorian literature as it exists, she successfully brings out the
hypocrisy that is apparent in that era and beautifully crafts a tale of the bold and courageous life
of her protagonist.

AUTHOR OF THE BOOK

Virginia Woolf, born on 25 January 1882, was one of the most inventive authors of the twentieth
century. Though Mrs Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927) are perhaps her best-known
works, she was also a prolific writer of essays, diaries, correspondence and biographies. Woolf ’s
writing depicts the rapidly evolving world in which she was living in both style and subject matter.
She struggled with mental illness throughout her life and attempted suicide twice before drowning
herself in River Ouse on 28 March 1941.
