Synopsis "Orlando (in Spanish)"

Singular biografía, la de Orlando se desarrolla entre la era isabelina y el siglo XX, y además, a mitad de camino, cambia el sexo de su protagonista. Sólo una agilidad narrativa como la de Woolf podía trenzar un juego literario semejante, y sólo un autor como Borges estaba en condiciones de verterla a nuestra lengua.Orlando sigue siendo como una de las mejores novelas de Virginia Woolf debido a su modernidad y a la presencia de todos los temas básicos de la obra de la autora inglesa: la condición de la mujer, el paso del tiempo y la recreación literaria de la realidad.

Virginia Woolf was born in London on January 25, 1882, and died on March 28, 1941, drowned in the River Ouse. After her father's death, the well-known man of letters Sir Leslie Stephen, Virginia and her sister Vanessa left the elegant Kensington neighborhood and moved to the bohemian Bloomsbury, which named the brilliant literary group formed around the Stephen sisters. Among its members were T. S. Eliot, Bertrand Russell, Vita Sackville-West, and the writer Leonard Woolf, whom Virginia married and with whom she ran the prestigious Hogarth Press. From her early works, Virginia Woolf highlighted her intention to take novels beyond mere narration. In Mrs. Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927), the author expressed the inner feelings of the characters with her own techniques, achieving great psychological effects through images, metaphors, and symbols. Her technique was consolidated with Orlando (1931) and The Waves (1931), which secured her an indisputable place within the finest world literature. Additionally, Woolf wrote essays as famous as A Room of One's Own (1929), which still inspires new generations of women today, literary criticism articles like those compiled in The Common Reader (1925, 1932) and in Genius and Ink (2021), or the biography of the English poet Elizabeth Barrett's dog, Flush (1933). All these works are published by Lumen.
