First masculine, then feminine, Orlando begins life as a young sixteenth-century nobleman, then gallops through three centuries to end up as a woman writer in Virginia Woolf's own time. A wry commentary on gender roles and modes of history, \u003ci\u003eOrlando\u003c\/i\u003e is also, in Woolf's own words, a light-hearted 'writer's holiday' which delights in ambiguity and capriciousness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45085610377367,"sku":"9780241371961","price":325.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780241371961.webp?v=1767638213","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/orlando-9780241371961","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
