Description

The star-spanning story of humanity’s colonization of other planets, Ursula K. Le Guin’s visionary Hainish novels and stories redrew the map of modern science fiction, making it a rich field for literary explorations of “the nature of human nature,” as Margaret Atwood has described Le Guin’s subject. Now, for the first time, the complete Hainish novels and stories are collected in a definitive two-volume Library of America edition, with new introductions by the author. This first volume in a definitive two-volume edition gathers the first five Hainish novels: Rocannon’s World, in which an ethnologist sent to a bronze-age planet must help defeat an intergalactic enemy; Planet of Exile, the story of human colonists stranded on a planet that is slowly killing them; City of Illusions, which finds a future Earth ruled by the mysterious Shing; and the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning masterpieces The Left Hand of Darkness and The Dispossessed—as well as four short stories.

LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation’s literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America’s best and most significant writing.

—Rocannon‘s World: 2.5 —Planet of Exile: 3 —City of Illusions: 3.5 (not sure yet if I 3.5 is accurate. Feels too low, but 4 feels too high) —Left Hand of Darkness: 4 —Winter‘s King (Revised Edition): 3.5 (not sure about the rating either. Feels too high, but 3 is too low. Basically unsure if this and City of Illusions should have the same rating.) —Coming of age in Karhide: 3 —Is Gender necessary (Redux): 3.5 —The Dispossessed: 4 —Day Before the Revolution: 3 (low 3 stars. Not a 2.5 mainly because I don‘t think Rocannon should be a 2). —Vaster than Empires and More Slow: 4
