Das Läuten der Glocken von Big Ben, Omnibusse am Piccadilly, Miss Pyms Hände, die so rot und kalt sind, als hätten sie mit den Blumen im Wasser gestanden, und dann ein Aeroplan, das "Toffee" in den Himmel schreibt. Mrs Dalloway macht Besorgungen für eine Abendgesellschaft in ihrem Haus in Westminster, sie lässt sich durch das London des beginnenden 20. Jahrhunderts treiben und mit ihr treiben ihre Gedanken, reichen sich Vergangenheit und Gegenwart in einem unvergleichlichen Auf und Ab die Hand.

Als Orlando nach einer ausschweifenden Feierlichkeit am Hofe des türkischen Sultans aus einem langen und erholsamen Schlaf erwacht, lässt es sich nicht leugnen: Die Tage seiner Männlichkeit sind gezählt, in der Nacht ist er zur Frau geworden. Orlando nimmt es, wie es kommt, und reist fortan ewig jugendlich durch die Weltgeschichte. Dabei trifft er auf die großen Dichter und Denker verschiedener Epochen. Was Virginia Woolf mit "Orlando" vorlegte, ist ein spielerischer Ritt durch die literarischen Genres, ein satirisches, sprachgewaltiges, feministisch angehauchtes Vergnügen.

Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf, details a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway in post-World War I England. Clarissa visits London in the morning, getting ready to host a party that evening.

For years now the Ramsays have spent every summer in their holiday home in Scotland, and they expect these summers will go on forever; but as the First World War looms, the integrity of family and society will be fatally challenged.
