Beschreibung

✨ What if a single life could stretch across centuries—and shift from one gender to another?

Virginia Woolf's Orlando: A Biography is one of the most daring and imaginative works of modernist literature. First published in 1928, it tells the story of Orlando, a young nobleman in Elizabethan England who inexplicably lives for centuries and awakens one day as a woman.

Part love letter, part satire, and part philosophical meditation, Woolf's masterpiece explores themes of gender, identity, art, and the fluidity of time. With her wit and lyrical brilliance, she defies conventional boundaries, blurring the line between biography and fiction.

🌟 Why readers love Orlando:

One of the earliest explorations of gender fluidity and identity in literature.

A witty, playful critique of English history and society.

Inspired by Woolf's intimate relationship with the poet Vita Sackville-West.

Celebrated as a visionary feminist classic, Orlando continues to inspire readers with its boldness and timeless exploration of what it means to be human.

    James follows a successful executive who’s lost sight of what truly matters—trading endless meetings and metrics for a chance encounter that sparks a bold detour into the mountains. As he swaps boardrooms for forest trails, he rediscovers curiosity beneath towering pines, improvises breakthroughs in high-pressure simulations, and learns to lead with empathy rather than authority. Through guided meditations by waterfall, time-boxed ideation sprints, and rituals of reflection, listeners will uncover how intentional pauses ignite creativity, how constraints fuel innovation, and how shared vulnerability builds unshakable teams. Perfect for anyone craving more than frantic hustle, James delivers a dynamic roadmap for reclaiming agency, aligning daily habits with core values, and sustaining momentum on the journey from reactive busyness to purposeful mastery.
