“Among the greats….Not just a science fiction article writer; a literary icon.” – Stephen Ruler

From your brilliant and award-winning author Ursula K. Le Guin comes a vintage tale of two planets torn apart by discord and mistrust – and the man who dangers everything to reunite them.

A bleak moon resolved by utopian anarchists, Anarres is definitely isolated from various other worlds, including its mom globe, Urras-a civilization of warring nations, great poverty, and immense wealth. Now Shevek, a brilliant physicist, is determined to reunite both planets, which were divided by hundreds of years of distrust. He’ll seek answers, query the unquestionable, and attempt to rip down the walls of hatred which have kept them apart.

To go to Urras-to learn, to instruct, to share-will require great sacrifice and risks, which Shevek willingly accepts. But the ambitious scientist’s present is soon regarded as a threat, and in the serious turmoil that ensues, he must reexamine his beliefs even as he ignites the fires of alter.
