The last and most light-hearted of Woolf's three major novels it was begun in 1927 at the peak of her career and published by Virginia and Leonard Woolf's Hogarth Press in 1928. <br /> <br /> "Orlando" is perhaps the most imaginative some would say fantastical creation of this legendarily individualistic writer taking its reader on a journey across four centuries with a hero who comes of age as a titled country gentleman in Elizabethan times and ends as a prize-winning woman author in the nineteen-twenties. <br /> <br /> Diana Michener is a photographer known for images that are powerfully suggestive of narrative. Her photographs offer a new visual experience for readers of Orlando using friends relatives and found portraits of unknowns as models and costumes objects and landscapes to suggest historic periods and the passage of time. The photographer herself appears in several images in various guises and disguises. The photographs are informed by the story or run parallel independent but indebted to it for inspiration.<br /> <br /> ___POSTAGE: International customers please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details.<br /> <br /> ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
