Synopsis "Orlando (in Spanish)"

Lord Orlando, un joven cortesano inglés con aspiraciones literarias, descubre un día al despertar que se ha convertido en una mujer. Su verdadera esencia sigue siendo la misma, pero la vida de lady Orlando cambia de manera radical: por un lado, tiene que enfrentarse a los prejuicios de la época, pero por otro adquiere el don de la inmortalidad. Orlando vive más de 300 años, pero solo envejece en apariencia hasta los 36, lo que le convierte en testigo de un mundo cambiante que sirve de excusa a Virginia Woolf para presentarnos una refinada parodia del género biográfico y una sátira brutal del sexismo. Nos hallamos ante una obra inmortal en todos los sentidos, una carta de amor a la literatura, la libertad sexual y la vida. La novela más optimista de una de las mentes más brillantes y revolucionarias del siglo XX Lord Orlando, a young English courtier with literary aspirations, wakes up one day to discover that he has become a woman. Her true essence remains the same, but Lady Orlando's life changes radically: on the one hand, she must face the prejudices of the time, but on the other, she acquires the gift of immortality. Orlando lives to be over 300 years old, but she only ages in appearance to 36, making her a witness to a changing world that serves as an excuse for Virginia Woolf to present us with a polished parody of the biographical genre and a brutal satire of sexism.

Virginia Woolf was born in London on January 25, 1882, and died on March 28, 1941, drowned in the River Ouse. After her father's death, the well-known man of letters Sir Leslie Stephen, Virginia and her sister Vanessa left the elegant Kensington neighborhood and moved to the bohemian Bloomsbury, which named the brilliant literary group formed around the Stephen sisters. Among its members were T. S. Eliot, Bertrand Russell, Vita Sackville-West, and the writer Leonard Woolf, whom Virginia married and with whom she ran the prestigious Hogarth Press. From her early works, Virginia Woolf highlighted her intention to take novels beyond mere narration. In Mrs. Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927), the author expressed the inner feelings of the characters with her own techniques, achieving great psychological effects through images, metaphors, and symbols. Her technique was consolidated with Orlando (1931) and The Waves (1931), which secured her an indisputable place within the finest world literature. Additionally, Woolf wrote essays as famous as A Room of One's Own (1929), which still inspires new generations of women today, literary criticism articles like those compiled in The Common Reader (1925, 1932) and in Genius and Ink (2021), or the biography of the English poet Elizabeth Barrett's dog, Flush (1933). All these works are published by Lumen.
