Synopsis



"In the Orchard" is a story by Virginia Woolf written and published in 1923. The protagonist is Miranda, in the shade of the apple trees. The reader is immersed, by Virginia Woolf, in a rural context. In this story, the writer performs a real creative literary experiment, (very similar to what was already happening in the pictorial context with the post -impressionism), as there is not a narration and description performed with the usual linear temporal canons (of "before"and "after", of the past and of the future), but a sort of moving paintings, through which the narration is based on space and sound .. Through space and sound, therefore, Miranda, reconnects herself  with the rest of the world and will be transported from the boundless land to the sea.
