Born into an age of grandeur and intrigue, Orlando is a charismatic noble whose life takes an extraordinary turn when an inexplicable transformation defies the laws of time. Swept across centuries, Orlando experiences the shifting landscapes of history, art, and culture while navigating the complexities of love and selfhood. With each passing age, new encounters and revelations challenge rigid expectations, offering moments of wit, wonder, and surreal adventure. Orlando's journey is not only across eras but also through the fluidity of identity, inviting readers to see the world through ever-changing eyes. Orlando stands as one of Virginia Woolf's most daring and influential works, a groundbreaking exploration of identity, gender, and time. Published in 1928, the novel defied literary convention with its fluid portrayal of a protagonist who lives as both man and woman, spanning centuries of history. Its playful yet profound narrative challenged early 20th-century views of gender and remains a cornerstone of feminist and LGBTQ+ literature. With lyrical prose and revolutionary imagination, Woolf's work continues to spark conversations about identity and self-expression in modern culture.
