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: A Biography is a groundbreaking English novel by Virginia Woolf that explores English history, gender roles, and sexual politics in a way few books have before or since. Inspired by the life of Woolf's friend and lover Vita Sackville-West—herself an accomplished poet and novelist—the story follows the life of an aristocratic nobleman who changes from man to woman and goes on to live for centuries, meeting all of the most influential and powerful figures in English history.

Desde que se publicó en 1928, Orlando ha sido una de las novelas más populares de Virginia Woolf por su originalidad y espíritu transgresor. Cuenta las peripecias de un joven aristócrata inglés, apuesto, rico, seductor y amante de la literatura—figura inspirada en la vida y la personalidad de la escritora Vita Sackville-West, gran amiga de la autora—que cabalga la Historia con mayúsculas desde el siglo XVI hasta el siglo XX y que, durante el reinado de Carlos II, se convierte en mujer.

Written in 1927, To the Lighthouse is Virginia Woolf's experimental and brilliant third novel. The narrative concerns the annual visits by the Ramsay family to their summer home in the Isle of Skye in Scotland between 1910 and 1920. Once again employing her unique stream-of-consciousness style of writing, Woolf creates a fascinating and complex novel where the point of view of the narration switches between the various Ramsay family members and their guests.

Presented here are three of the most important feminist novels ever written: Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf, The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and The Awakening by Kate Chopin. Each of these works is an early groundbreaking piece of fiction from some of literature's finest female writers as they explore life, love, and the struggle of women to find their voices in a time where they were too often silenced and suppressed.

Presented here are two of the most important books of the early 20th century by one of the most original and groundbreaking writers of her era, the feminist literary pioneer Virginia Woolf. First, the 1925 sensation Mrs. Dalloway, the breakthrough novel that solidified Woolf's reputation as a fresh new voice of her generation. Also included in this volume is To the Lighthouse, which was published in 1927, just two years after Mrs. Dalloway was released. To the Lighthouse is Virginia Woolf's experimental and brilliant third novel.

À Londres, ce soir, Clarissa Dalloway offre une fête ! La haute société anglaise a intérêt à s'amuser. Or, de vieilles connaissances ressurgissent des limbes et exhument des souvenirs comme on ouvre une boîte de Pandore. Ce mois de juin d'après-guerre n'en est pas moins radieux. Quant à Lucrezia, déracinée de son Italie natale, elle tente de retrouver son mari dans la froide Angleterre. Septimus est là, mais absent. Pâle vétéran décoré, le jeune homme reste hanté par les tranchées et les bombes. Parfois, il entend la voix d'un de ses amis mort au front.

Jacob’s Room was written in 1922 and is Virginia Woolf’s third novel; the first in which she made a radical shift from the established style of prose narrative writing and began experimenting with the modernist "stream of consciousness style" now so firmly associated with her work and that so shook the literary establishment. Jacob’s Room is overwhelmingly centered around feelings of absence and emptiness and is a collection of memories and sensations that chart the life of Jacob Flanders, largely observed through the eyes of others.

Clarissa Dalloway is preoccupied with the last-minute details of a party she is to give that evening. As she makes preparations, she is flooded with memories and reexamines the choices she has made over the course of her life. On the same day, the war-inflicted Septimus is struggling to keep his dark thoughts and vivid flashbacks from overwhelming him, leading to a catastrophic turn of events.

Das Läuten der Glocken von Big Ben, Omnibusse am Piccadilly, Miss Pyms Hände, die so rot und kalt sind, als hätten sie mit den Blumen im Wasser gestanden, und dann ein Aeroplan, das "Toffee" in den Himmel schreibt. Mrs Dalloway macht Besorgungen für eine Abendgesellschaft in ihrem Haus in Westminster, sie lässt sich durch das London des beginnenden 20. Jahrhunderts treiben und mit ihr treiben ihre Gedanken, reichen sich Vergangenheit und Gegenwart in einem unvergleichlichen Auf und Ab die Hand.

A day in Clarissa Dalloway's life is explored through her thoughts, actions, and reminiscences and by the flashbacks of those about her. Virginia Woolf's writing was never better!

Within our minds, time flows eternal in parallel streams, carrying a host of memories and conflicting emotions and we are connected by webs of intermittent visibility to the lives of many whom we have never even met. This is what we come to realise as we join Clarissa Dalloway on a fine June day in 1923, as she prepares a party she is giving that night for London's social and political elite. Virginia Woolf's often teasing portrait of British characters at every level of society remains remarkably accurate to this day.

Ante la enormidad de la vida, con sus largos años y su final que pareciera que nunca llegará, ¿qué nos motiva a vivirla? Cuando un viaje prometido de una madre a un hijo se ve aplazado en el tiempo, movida desde el futuro cercano a la perpetuidad, ¿Qué se siente saber que el viaje nunca llegará? La residencia Ramsay conocerá la muerte y la pérdida a medida que venga. Son aspectos inseparables de la vida, pero a la vez lo son el amor y la euforia de conocerse a sí mismo en el transcurso de los años.

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.

Virginia Woolf’s most famous "stream of consciousness" novel, Mrs. Dalloway, records the events of one June day in 1923 - the day on which Clarissa Dalloway is hosting a party in her London home. Mrs. Dalloway continues to fascinate and challenge, hinting at homosexuality, mental illness, racial prejudice, infidelity, and unrequited love. It presents a perfect picture of London between the wars, in an England where the class system is still firmly entrenched while carrying throughout an undercurrent of rage at the resulting inequalities.

Virginia Woolf es considerada como una de las más destacadas figuras del modernismo literario del siglo XX.
