Orlando: A Biography = Orlando. A Book for Reading in English. Level B2

The genius work of the brilliant writer Virginia Woolf, "Orlando", is a story of a devoted man, a story of a lovesick woman, a colorful parable, a convoluted allegory, a canvas of an impressionist painter, capturing the swift flow of the writer's consciousness against the backdrop of England across five eras. It is an ode to everything dear to the author's heart, nostalgia for a rapidly escaping past, and a quest for answers to eternal questions. But above all, it is an introspective look, self-discovery, acceptance of oneself, and a detailed figurative proclamation of love for oneself.
This ever-relevant book dazzles with a wealth of colors, enchants with its prose, and intoxicates with the spirit of the times. The novel was successfully adapted into a film in 1992. The memorable movie featuring the incredible Tilda Swinton in the lead role rightfully received a number of awards.
The text is shortened and adapted. Level B2.
