Beschreibung

One of the very best must-read novels of all time - with a new introduction by Roddy Doyle
'There was a wall. It did not look important - even a child could climb it. But the idea was real. Like all walls it was ambiguous, two-faced. What was inside it and what was outside it depended upon which side of it you were on...'
Shevek is brilliant scientist who is attempting to find a new theory of time - but there are those who are jealous of his work, and will do anything to block him. So he leaves his homeland, hoping to find a place of more liberty and tolerance. Initially feted, Shevek soon finds himself being used as a pawn in a deadly political game.
With powerful themes of freedom, society and the natural world's influence on competition and co-operation, THE DISPOSSESSED is a true classic of the 20th century.

Sehr interessante Dystopie/Utopie Vorstellungen, Geschichte manchmal etwas träge

While some of the world building kept me interested enough, I wasn’t very much enjoying the experience of reading this book / listening to the audio book. Most of it was boring, the morals were ham-fisted and there were neither engaging characters nor a story to pull me in. I liked the idea of the split narrative, alternating between pieces of both planets and the protagonists present and past, and when the everyday life of these societies was described I was reminded why I kept listening. However, none of the characters did it for me, they were pretty one dimensional. Also, nothing happens in this book, which means you would need great characters or fascinating ideas to pull you through. It´s basically a book of someone bland describing their pretty mundane life.
