En Orlando: Una biografía Virginia Woolf da rienda suelta a una imaginación desbordante, creando una de las novelas satíricas más conocidas de todos los tiempos; no bastando con eso es un recuento histórico de la vida de la nobleza y de la literatura inglesa a través de casi cuatro siglos. Y aún así el mayor mérito de la novela es haber abordado, hace casi cien años, temas feministas y transgéneros que aún se encuentran en discusión en nuestros días.Orlando nace biológicamente masculino en la corte de Isabel I en Inglaterra pero un día, tras un largo sueño, se despierta como mujer y así continúa su vida. La narración muestra la paulatina aceptación por parte del personaje de su nueva condición, estudiando el papel de la mujer en la historia y la sociedad, incluso en temas éticos y morales (sexualidad, homosexualidad, derechos de la mujer) contrarios a la época en que fue escrito. Todo esto desde la perspectiva biográfica y desde el discurso femenino, una novedad dado que el género había sido mayormente utilizado por escritores hombres.La novela, sin transformarse nunca en un ensayo ni acercarse a dogmatismos, y sin perder su fino humor, se desarrolla por sí misma y, sin que nos hayamos dado cuenta, el mundo entero ha entrado en una narración que culmina en el momento presente (la narración termina en 1928, en el mismo día en que fue publicada por Hogarth Press, la editorial de Virginia Woolf y su esposo).*Orlando* es tanto un apto regalo de Virginia Woolf a su amante y amiga íntima, Vita Sackville-West —es un retrato poético de su amante—, como a muchas generaciones posteriores que encontraron en esta novela inspiración y liberación.Esta nueva edición al español es fiel al texto y a las intenciones de Virginia Woolf, eliminando las alteraciones introducidas en el relato por traducciones anteriores, mostrando así el espíritu revolucionario en su plenitud. 10
