Here the author presents a political science fiction story, which is more fascinated by problem-solving than by political systems. It won top awards. Although Le Guin's sympathies are engaged by the anarchists of Annares, she recognizes what they have given up in their pursuit of equality, and although she exposes the inequalities and unfairness of the capitalistic parent world of Urras, she also recognizes its beauty, color, and freedom. An exciting science fiction novel that has brought the author international recognition. A beautiful book in full leather and gilt designs and lettering. In gift-giving condition.
