书籍简介

《奥兰多》被列入BBC评选出的“100部塑造我们世界的小说”，故事始于十六世纪伊丽莎白时代，历时四百年。奥兰多是一位天真无邪的贵族少年，因深受伊丽莎白女王宠爱而进入宫庭。詹姆斯王登基后，大霜冻降临，奥兰多偶遇一位俄罗斯公主，坠入情网，结果是失恋亦失宠，隐居乡间大宅。奥兰多从小迷恋文学和诗歌，莎士比亚的身影令他难以忘怀，设法与小有名气的诗人格林相识，不料又受戏弄，加之不堪忍受罗马尼亚女大公的纠缠，遂请缨出使土耳其。在君士坦丁堡的一场大火之后，奥兰多变为女子，离开官场，混迹于吉卜赛人之间。再后她返回英国，成为上流社会的贵妇，结识一批当时知名文人。之后，奥兰多漫长的生命便一直以女人的形象存在，带着前三十年男子的记忆和认知对男女的差异和世界观重新进入新的生活。到故事结尾时，奥兰多已是二十世纪的获奖诗人，回到那贯穿全书、象征传统的大宅，来到大橡树下，回顾她对文学与诗歌的永恒的追求。

'The flower bloomed and faded. The sun rose and sank. The lover loved and went. And what the poets said in rhyme, the young translated into practice.'

Written for her lover Vita Sackville-West, 'Orlando' is Woolf's playfully subversive take on a biography, here tracing the fantastical life of Orlando. As the novel spans centuries and continents, gender and identity, we follow Orlando's adventures in love - from being a lord in the Elizabethan court to a lady in 1920s London.

First published in 1928, this tale of unrivalled imagination and wit quickly became the most famous work of women's fiction. Sexuality, destiny, independence and desire - all come to the fore in this highly influential novel that heralded a new era in women's writing.
