A collectible hardcover edition of Virginia Woolf's pioneering novel about a time-traveling sixteenth-century nobleman who wakes up in the body of a woman, with a new foreword by Andrea Lawlor, author of Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl"A brilliant book that teaches you so much about identity and love--all these fundamental questions that we ask ourselves." --Emma Corrin "I read this book and believed it was a hallucinogenic, interactive biography of my own life and future." --Tilda Swinton A Penguin Vitae Edition First masculine, then feminine, Orlando is a young sixteenth-century nobleman who gallops through the centuries, from Elizabethan England and imperial Turkey to Virginia Woolf's own time. Will he find happiness with the exotic Russian Princess Sasha? Or is the dashing explorer Shelmerdine the ideal man? And what form will Orlando take on the journey--a nobleman, traveler, writer? Man or . . . woman? Written for the charismatic, bisexual writer Vita Sackville-West, Orlando is one of Woolf's most popular and accessible novels, a playful mock biography of a chameleon-like historical figure that is both a wry commentary on gender and, in Woolf's own words, a "writer's holiday" that delights in its ambiguity and capriciousness. This edition is collated from all known proofs, manuscripts, and impressions to reflect the author's intentions, and includes an illuminating introduction and notes by the distinguished scholar and coauthor of The Madwoman in the Attic Sandra M. Gibert. Penguin Vitae--loosely translated as "Penguin of one's life"--is a deluxe hardcover series from Penguin Classics celebrating a dynamic and diverse landscape of classic fiction and nonfiction from seventy-five years of classics publishing. Penguin Vitae provides readers with beautifully designed classics that have shaped the course of their lives, and welcomes new readers to discover these literary gifts of personal inspiration, intellectual engagement, and creative originality.

In Virginia Woolf's Jacob's Room, the titular character's room is a vivid reflection of his inner life and the complexities of his character. The space is imbued with a sense of intimacy and chaos, where scattered books and sketches reveal Jacob's intellectual pursuits and artistic inclinations. Sunlight filters through the windows, casting playful shadows that dance across the walls, hinting at the fleeting nature of time and memory. The room is adorned with personal artifacts-a well-worn chair, a half-open drawer spilling over with letters and mementos, and a desk that bears the marks of creativity and contemplation. Each object tells a story, embodying Jacob's aspirations, relationships, and the weight of his experiences. Woolf captures the essence of a young man caught between the innocence of youth and the harsh realities of adulthood, making the room not just a physical space, but a poignant symbol of his journey through life. Through meticulous detail and evocative prose, Woolf transforms Jacob's room into a microcosm of his existence, inviting readers to explore the depths of his thoughts and the fleeting moments that define him. The atmosphere is both serene and charged, a testament to the beauty and tragedy of human experience.

“Always to have sympathy, always to be accompanied, always to be understood would be intolerable.” Virginia Woolf’s essay begins by lamenting the surprise neglect of ill-health as a potential literary subject. What then unfolds is a dazzlingly written series of reflections on sickness, fiction, and the chilling indifference of the natural world. Above all a testament to the fundamental solitariness of the human soul, this is an indispensable work by the preeminent stylist of twentieth-century English literature.
