Orlando - Virginia Woolf

This picture was taken in Amsterdam in 2009.
 

Virginia Woolf was an English novelist and essayist. Orlando was first published in 1928.
Orlando was adapted to film in 1992. The film was directed by Sally Potter, and stars Tilda Swinton as Orlando.


"She had been a gloomy boy, in love with death, ... as boys are; and then she had been amorous and florid; and then she had been sprightly and satirical; and sometimes she had tried prose and sometimes she had tried drama. Yet through all these changes she had remained, she reflected, fundamentally the same. She had the same brooding meditative temper, the same love of animals and nature, the same passion for the country and the seasons."
