Description

Orlando, a wildly imaginative and comic novel, explores the life of a young Elizabethan nobleman whose wealth and status afford him an extravagant lifestyle. Appointed ambassador in Constantinople, he wakes one morning to find himself transformed into a woman.

Unfazed by this dramatic change, Orlando navigates life with his characteristic flamboyance and ambition, charging through history so that by the end of his extraordinary biography, he is a modern woman living in the 1920s. This beautifully bound edition features original illustrations and an introduction by Professor Susan Sellers.

One of BBC's 100 Novels That Shaped Our World, Orlando is a thought-provoking exploration of identity, transformation, and the power of human experience.
