Description

One of the greats, a profound and thoughtful tale of anarchism and capitalism, individualism and collectivism, and one ambitious man's quest to bridge the ideological chasm separating two worlds. In celebration of its fiftieth anniversary, a commemorative edition of Ursula K. Le Guin's Hugo, Locus, and Nebula Award-winning novel is now available.

The Dispossessed is the spellbinding story of a brilliant physicist's journey to reunite two planets cut off from each other by centuries of distrust. Anarres, his homeland, is a bleak moon settled by an anarchic utopian civilization, while Urras, his mother planet, is defined by warring nations, great poverty, and immense wealth. Despite the pain of separation from his family, Shevek's determination to unify the two civilizations drives him to make an unprecedented trip to Urras.

With a new foreword by Karen Joy Fowler, this special edition explores the complexities of ideology, culture, and the human condition, raising essential questions about the nature of society and our place within it.
