Spanning over 300 years of British history, Orlando bends the rules of time, gender, and narrative as its protagonist navigates shifting societies, identities, and expectations, all while seeking something elusive: the truth of the self.

Als Orlando nach einer ausschweifenden Feierlichkeit am Hofe des türkischen Sultans aus einem langen und erholsamen Schlaf erwacht, lässt es sich nicht leugnen: Die Tage seiner Männlichkeit sind gezählt, in der Nacht ist er zur Frau geworden. Orlando nimmt es, wie es kommt, und reist fortan ewig jugendlich durch die Weltgeschichte. Dabei trifft er auf die großen Dichter und Denker verschiedener Epochen. Was Virginia Woolf mit "Orlando" vorlegte, ist ein spielerischer Ritt durch die literarischen Genres, ein satirisches, sprachgewaltiges, feministisch angehauchtes Vergnügen.

Dalla postfazione di Mario Fortunato: "Orlando è la biografia che diventa romanzo di un eroe che diventa un'eroina e che vive parecchi secoli. Non ci vuole molto a capire che il suo tema non è l'immortalità né il sesso né la letteratura né Vita Sackville-West a cui il libro è dedicato. Il tema è piuttosto lo slittamento o, meglio ancora, la metamorfosi: di un corpo nell'altro, di un sesso nell'altro, di un genere nell'altro.

Opening with a panorama of Russian society, from the cloistered world of the Tsar to the brutal life of the peasants, A People’s Tragedy follows workers, soldiers, intellectuals and villagers as their world is consumed by revolution and then degenerates into violence and dictatorship.

Virginia Woolf's semi-biographical novel, inspired by her life changing love affair with Vita Sackville-West, takes us on an exhilarating, fantastical roller coaster, tracing 400 years of English history, in the company of her shape-shifting, gender-bending, time-travelling hero Orlando, whose inner conflicts and triumphs challenge our preconceptions of the nature of love, the battle of the sexes, posing socal and metaphysical questions including what we now call climate change.

"Quando il ragazzo, poiché, ahimè, era certo un ragazzo - nessuna donna sui pattini sarebbe mai stata così veloce e potente - gli sfrecciò accanto quasi sulle punte, a momenti Orlando si strappò i capelli per la rabbia che quella persona fosse del suo stesso sesso e quindi ogni abbraccio fosse fuori discussione".

Orlando is the extraordinary biography of a young nobleman in the court of Elizabeth I who transforms into a woman and lives for over three centuries. In his youth, Orlando is a passionate lover and poet. He dotes on the Queen, serves King James faithfully, falls deeply in love with a Russian princess, and becomes an ambassador to Constantinople, but at his heart all Orlando ever wants to be is a great writer (and living at the same time as Marlowe, Donne, and Shakespeare, this is no easy thing). But while living in Constantinople, one evening Orlando is transformed into woman.

Orlando is one of the most unforgettable creations of twentieth-century literature. He emerges as a young man at the court of Queen Elizabeth I and progresses, with breathtaking ease, through three centuries until, by now a woman, she arrives in the bustle and diversion of the 1920's.
