    Virginia Woolfin hauskin ja kepein teos! Klassikkoromaani leikittelee sukupuolella ja yhdistelee eri tyylilajeja. Orlando on nuori aatelismies, joka kasvaa 1500-luvun Englannissa. Hän kulkee kepeästi vuosisatojen halki ja kohtaa matkoillaan kunkin aikakauden suuria ajattelijoita. Orlando on kunnianhimoinen runoilija, joka viettää vapaa-aikansa kosiskelemalla hovien kauniita naisia. Kolmenkymmenen ikävuoden paikkeilla hän muuttuu äkisti naiseksi. Orlandon elämä muuttuu tyystin, naisia kun koskevat aivan erilaiset yhteiskunnalliset odotukset.Virginia Woolfin 1500-luvulta 1900-luvun alkuvuosikymmeniin ulottuva romaani liikkuu ajassa ja paikassa kiehtovasti, vailla rajoituksia. Feminismin klassikkona pidetty teos yhdistää fantasiaa, elämäkertatyylistä proosaa ja historiallista romaania. Yhtä vahvasti ovat esillä niin sukupuolen, taiteen kuin ajan teemat, sekä historia, jossa Orlando liikkuu kuin aikamatkustaja.Orlandosta on tehty vuonna 1992 samanniminen elokuva, jonka pääosassa nähdään Tilda Swinton. Lisäksi romaanista on tehty muun muassa näytelmä- ja oopperasovituksia.Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) oli englantilainen kirjailija, kriitikko ja tasa-arvon puolestapuhuja. Woolf on kirjoittanut useita teoksia, jotka ovat myöhemmin nousseet klassikoiksi, kuten Mrs. Dalloway, Orlando ja Oma huone. Häntä pidetään yhtenä 1900-luvun tärkeimmistä kirjailijoista.

    Questi racconti fantastici rappresentano i primi esperimenti letterari di un’ancora giovanissima Charlotte Brontë.Con personaggi e ambientazioni memorabili, tra fantasia e una più che vivida rappresentazione delle dure condizioni di vita dei bambini della propria epoca, la grande autrice di "Jane Eyre" assembla una serie di racconti insieme vivaci e commoventi. Umani, insomma, a trecentosessanta gradi.Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855) nasce a Thornton, figlia di un pastore protestante e di un'insegnante. È la terzogenita di sei figli: le due sorelle minori Emily ed Anne saranno a loro volta scrittrici (autrici, rispettivamente, di Cime tempestose e Agnes Grey). Nel corso della sua vita assisterà alla morte di ogni membro della famiglia, con l'esclusione del padre. Nel 1842, dopo aver lavorato come insegnante ed istitutrice privata, si reca con la sorella Emily a Bruxelles, con l'intento di studiare il francese. Fra il 1847 e il 1853 dà alle stampe i suoi capolavori (Jane Eyre, Shirley, e Villette), per poi assecondare il volere paterno e sposare il reverendo Nicholls (1854).

A lo largo de su vida destacó principalmente por sus obras infantiles con un estilo innovador donde primaban el humor y los elementos mágicos.
