A Challenge

Maria do Céu

This is a modern story, told in a very extraordinary way... Orlando is immortal. This character was born in Elizabethan England and his progress runs side by side with British history. Apart from that the character finds out he is a woman.One of the strong ideas I collected from the novel is the way the narrator deals with time. Time is the hidden character of the novel: it is and it seems it isn't there. A very unusaul novel!!!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf nasceu em Londres a 25 de janeiro de 1882, filha de Sir Leslie Stephen, escritor e historiador ilustre da Inglaterra vitoriana. Desde cedo ligada a grupos de intelectuais, casou em 1912 com Leonard Woolf e com ele fundou a editora Hogarth Press, responsável pela revelação de autores como Katherine Mansfield e T. S. Eliot e pela publicação das suas próprias obras. Reconhecida como uma das mais proeminentes figuras do modernismo britânico, destacam-se entre os seus trabalhos os romances Mrs Dalloway (1925), Orlando (1928) e As Ondas (1931), assim como o ensaio Um Quarto que Seja Seu (1929). Após sucessivas crises depressivas e não suportando o isolamento provocado pelo agravar da Segunda Guerra Mundial, suicida-se a 28 de março de 1941, em Lewes.
