About This Novel

This book is Woolf's biography of the fictional character Orlando. The language is light and humorous, making it an especially easy read among Woolf's works. Orlando was originally an aristocratic boy who was deeply favored by the queen and loved poetry. However, he suffered a double betrayal of literature and love. After a fire, he suddenly turned into a woman... The wanton youth of the Elizabethan era, the moist lust of the Victorian era, the wind of 400 years blowing here and there, the sky for women is getting lower and lower. In modern times, Orlando had to adapt to the trend of the times and became a wife and mother, but he never forgot to find himself. "Orlando" is hailed as a feminist classic and a pioneer work that tells the story of "The Second Sex" from a literary perspective. Using the words of Orlando, Woolf witty and boldly satirized gender prejudice, and delicately described women's survival dilemma and self-awakening. In the author's writing, the world is vast and complex, time is constantly changing, and genders are not antagonistic. Regardless of men or women, being able to be yourself is more important than anything else.
