Series: Cl�sicos Ilustrados

Lord Orlando, un joven cortesano ingl�s con aspiraciones literarias, descubre un d�a al despertar que se ha convertido en una mujer. Su verdadera esencia sigue siendo la misma, pero la vida de lady Orlando cambia de manera radical: por un lado, tiene que enfrentarse a los prejuicios de la �poca, pero por otro adquiere el don de la inmortalidad. Orlando vive m�s de 300 a�os, pero solo envejece en apariencia hasta los 36, lo que le convierte en testigo de un mundo cambiante que sirve de excusa a Virginia Woolf para presentarnos una refinada parodia del g�nero biogr�fico y una s�tira brutal del sexismo. Nos hallamos ante una obra inmortal en todos los sentidos, una carta de amor a la literatura, la libertad sexual y la vida. La novela m�s optimista de una de las mentes m�s brillantes y revolucionarias del siglo XX Lord Orlando, a young English courtier with literary aspirations, wakes up one day to discover that he has become a woman. Her true essence remains the same, but Lady Orlando's life changes radically: on the one hand, she must face the prejudices of the time, but on the other, she acquires the gift of immortality. Orlando lives to be over 300 years old, but she only ages in appearance to 36, making her a witness to a changing world that serves as an excuse for Virginia Woolf to present us with a polished parody of the biographical genre and a brutal satire of sexism.
