Meet Orlando: a young nobleman in Elizabethan England, poet, lover, adventurer—and, after a transformational sleep, a woman. Spanning over 300 years of British history, Orlando bends the rules of time, gender, and narrative as its protagonist navigates shifting societies, identities, and expectations, all while seeking something elusive: the truth of the self. Playful, profound, and radically ahead of its time, Virginia Woolf's groundbreaking novel is part love letter, part satire, and part meditation on the fluid nature of existence.

Zu schlau'n'schlank für ein bestimmtes Geschlecht? - Virginia Woolfs "Orlando" geistert durch vier Jahrhunderte.

So wild die Kapriolen und so amüsant die Hakenschläge auch sein mögen, sind sie doch unerschütterlich durchtränkt von echt britischem Humor. Orlando, das ist Verführung pur.
