Orlando: A Biography

Orlando: A Biography is an influential novel by Virginia Woolf, first published on 11 October 1928. A semi-biographical novel based in part on the life of Woolf's lover Vita Sackville-West, it is generally considered one of Woolf's most accessible novels. The novel has been influential stylistically, and is considered important in literature generally, and particularly in the history of women's writing and gender studies.

    Pardon me, but this is a bullshit. I know that I'm not a writer and a critic neither, however this book was absolutely nonsense to me, hold on, but there is some shock, emotions, intrigues in the nonsense, so this book is worse than a nonsense. With all respect to an author, but it's not worthy of reading. Nowadays there is an standard that called gender equality, and indeed there is, so this book is worthless in perspective of whatever the author thought it would be a issue to vivid gender inequality

    No one is better at this than Virginia. But really a poem. Funny and profound. We must be kinder to each other. We have all been here before.Dizzying ride.

    what with his glowing cheeks, his dark curls, his black and crimson cloak, he looked as if he were burning with his own radiance, from a lamp lit within.
