The work considered the most brilliant of Virginia Woolf's literary production
Orlando. A biography (1928) recounts part of the life trajectory of an aristocratic boy from the court of Elizabeth I of England who, after a deep sleep, wakes up one day incarnated as a woman. Orlando's progressive acceptance of his new identity will lead to a dissertation on the female condition that takes the reader back to the 20th century, as time passes by fleetingly. This allows the author to delve into issues that in her time caused a real scandal: sexuality in general and homosexuality in particular, the role of women with respect to these issues and the restrictions that society had imposed on those who did not conform to the prevailing moral and ethical profile. But in reality, Virginia Woolf uses her own experience to analyze these questions, since Orlando is none other than Vita Sackville-West, who was her lover and her confidante. The recourse to the biographical genre using the point of view of a woman was totally innovative for the time, since until now it had been the man who had predominantly used it in literature. This has led to consider Orlando as the most brilliant work of Virginia Woolf's literary production, which has been reflected in its success and its impact on later literature.

This edition offers the reader a new translation faithful to the prose and the spirit of the author -without the alterations that other translations, still very established, have introduced in the story-, which will allow us to fully understand Virginia's revolutionary thought Woolf.
