书刊介绍

内容简介

Virginia Woolf's exuberant `biography' tells the story of the cross-dressing, sex-changing Orlando who begins life as a young noble in the sixteenth century and moves through numerous historical and geographical worlds to finish as a modern woman writer in the 1920s. The book is in part a happy tribute to the `life' that her love for Vita Sackville-West had breathed into Virginia Woolf's own day-to-day existence; it is also Woolf's light-hearted and light-handed teasing out of the assumptions that lie behind the normal conventions for writing about a fictional or historical life. In this novel, Virginia Woolf plays loose and fast: Orlando uncovers a literary and sexual revolution overnight.

2.“贫穷也罢,无知也罢,它们本来就是女人遮身蔽体的外衣,这世界不妨留给别人去治理;军事野心、迷恋权力,以及男人其他的一切欲望,都可以抛到脑后,只要能够更充分地享受人类精神所知晓的最崇高的愉悦,”她大声说,她深受感动时总是这样,“那就是冥思、隐居、爱情。”
