Orlando

De: Virginia Woolf

Narrado por: Brandy Rose, Kay Elúvian

Virginia Woolf's most unusual and fantastic creation, a funny, exuberant tale that examines the very nature of sexuality.

As his tale begins, Orlando is a passionate young nobleman whose days are spent in rowdy revelry, filled with the colourful delights of Queen Elizabeth's court. By the close, he will have transformed into a modern, thirty-six-year-old woman and three centuries will have passed. Orlando will not only witness the making of history from its edge, but will find that his unique position as a woman who knows what it is to be a man will give him insight into matters of the heart.

The horrible narrator

The narrator was awful. She sped through the story so fast I could barely understand and there was no feeling in her reading. A two year old would have done a better job.

Supurlative

On this, my second listen, I have determined I will read Woolf’s ORLANDO a myriad more times. There are moments — intended by Mystery — to be experienced, utterly , directly. Reading or listening to ORLANDO is one such moment. Being in this realm of Woolf’s articulation is captivating beyond the beyond. I am heartened to have experienced ORLANDO.
