Orlando (The Illustrated Ed.)

維吉尼亞．吳爾芙這部跨越時空、令人驚豔的小說，探討了愛、自我認同與蛻變。本書由藝術家Varvara Alay操刀，以令人屏息的精緻內頁插畫，為經典注入全新生命。

「男女兩性雖有不同，卻又相互交融。每個人都在兩性之間擺盪，往往只有衣著維持了男或女的外在形象，而內在的性別卻可能與外表截然相反。」

奧蘭多是一位迷人的貴族與詩人，也是展現真理的化身。他出生於伊莉莎白一世時期的英國，生命跨越了數個世紀。他冷眼旁觀歷史與時代的更迭，記錄下沿途的所有轉變。然而，就在某個早晨，他變成了一位女性。

這場始於跨越時空的奇幻嬉戲，最終演變成對性別、自由與認同流動性的深刻冥想。吳爾芙以機智、詩意且令人讚嘆的想像力，勾勒出一個不受社會標籤束縛的靈魂，描繪出超越性別的肖像——這是一場對抗生命二元對立的勇敢反叛，時至今日依然走在時代尖端，展現前衛的現代性。

Virginia Woolf's dazzling, time-defying novel of love, identity and transformation, brought to life with breathtaking interior art by Varvara Alay.

Different though the sexes are, they intermix. In every human being a vacillation from one sex to the other takes place, and often it is only the clothes that keep the male or female likeness, while underneath the sex is the very opposite of what it is above.

Orlando is a charming nobleman, a poet, and a vessel through which truth is exposed. Born in Elizabethan England, his life spans across centuries. He observes the shifting landscapes of history and time, noting these changes as they come. But one morning, he transforms into a woman.

What begins as a fantastical romp through time becomes a profound meditation on gender, freedom and the fluidity of identity. With wit, lyricism and dazzling imagination, Orlando crafts a gender-defying portrait of a soul unbound by society's labels - a bold rebellion against life's binaries that remains radically modern today.
