Orlando

Orlando, a young nobleman, was the favorite of Queen Elizabeth I. He lived a merry life at court, and before her death, the Queen asked him to remain eternally young. Orlando set out in search of himself and adventures across the centuries: he visited different eras, including Elizabethan England, served as part of an embassy in Constantinople, traveled with a gypsy camp, and returned to England at the beginning of the 20th century. “Orlando” is Virginia Woolf’s outstanding work, in which she tells the story of an immortal person who changes not only eras and countries, but also his sex.
