Orlando Av Virginia Woolf

<p><b>Virginia Woolf''s most unusual and fantastic creation, a funny, exuberant tale that examines the very nature of sexuality.<br><br> **One of the BBC''s 100 Novels That Shaped Our World**</b><br><br> As his tale begins, Orlando is a passionate young nobleman whose days are spent in rowdy revelry, filled with the colourful delights of Queen Elizabeth''s court. By the close, he will have transformed into a modern, thirty-six-year-old woman and three centuries will have passed. <i>Orlando </i>will not only witness the making of history from its edge, but will find that his unique position as a woman who knows what it is to be a man will give him insight into matters of the heart.<br><br> <b>WITH INTRODUCTIONS BY PETER ACKROYD AND MARGARET REYNOLDS</b></p>
