在三十歲那年,他被愛人背叛、欲將人生寄情於詩作卻又遭受無情的批評。
他看破人生,認為一切都毫無價值。愛情和雄心壯志,女人和詩人,全都是一場徒然。
他自請赴土耳其擔任大使,卻在封爵盛宴後的一場戰亂中陷入昏睡,當他在七天之後醒來,竟發現自己變成了女人……隨之而來的改變是:無法保有財產、寫作的限制,以及婚姻。
歐蘭多的一生跨越三個世紀,經歷兩種性別,場景橫跨歐亞兩大陸,更置身於無數的性別角色變換。她是一個充滿活力的男人、一位詩人、一位懂時尚的女人,也是一位傳統維多利亞時代女性。

عرض الكلThis was quite possibly one of the most thought-provoking and interesting books I've ever read. I will admit it took me a little while to get into it. I initially struggled with the biographical style Woolf employed and had to put the book down fir a good while, hence the docked star. However once i was back into it, i finished it in a day. I do have to celebrate this book mostly due to how happy this book made me whilst reading it. Its joyful and romantic description of Orlando's world in turn gave me a far greater appreciation of my own surroundings and experiences, which i shall be forever grateful for. Overall a very good book, just a bit challenging to jump straight into.
