Una novela inspirada en la poeta y novelista aristócrata Vita Sackville-West, amante y amiga Ãntima de Virginia Woolf.
El protagonista de esta historia, Orlando, un muchacho aristócrata de la corte de Isabel I no solo vive con intensidad una dilatada época que va desde la época isabelina hasta nuestros dÃas, sino que tras un profundo sueño, se despierta encarnado en mujer. La agilidad con la que la autora teje este juego es una muestra excelente de un sentido del humor que pocas veces asociamos a la personalidad de Virginia Woolf y una exploración sobre la condición femenina que influirá en posteriores estudios de género.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A novel inspired by the aristocratic poet and novelist Vita Sackville-West, who was both Virginia Woolf's lover and close friend.
The protagonist of this story, Orlando, an aristocratic young man in Queen Elizabeth I's court, not only lives intensely through a long stretch of time--from the Elizabethan era to the present day--but also wakes up as a woman after a deep sleep. The way the author skillfully weaves this transformation is an excellent example of a sense of humor we rarely associate with Virginia Woolf. It's also an exploration of the female condition that would go on to influence later gender studies.
