À propos de cet audio

“One of the greats….Not just a science fiction writer; a literary icon.” – Stephen King

From the brilliant and award-winning author Ursula K. Le Guin comes a classic tale of two planets torn apart by conflict and mistrust — and the man who risks everything to reunite them.

A bleak moon settled by utopian anarchists, Anarres has long been isolated from other worlds, including its mother planet, Urras—a civilization of warring nations, great poverty, and immense wealth. Now Shevek, a brilliant physicist, is determined to reunite the two planets, which have been divided by centuries of distrust. He will seek answers, question the unquestionable, and attempt to tear down the walls of hatred that have kept them apart.

To visit Urras—to learn, to teach, to share—will require great sacrifice and risks, which Shevek willingly accepts. But the ambitious scientist's gift is soon seen as a threat, and in the profound conflict that ensues, he must reexamine his beliefs even as he ignites the fires of change.

I initially disliked the narrators voice, although it quickly became a non-issue. A very interesting and captivating book despite having no combat or even a very explicit set of problems for the protagonist to overcome. It was not my usual genre, but I’m glad I tried it. There are very nuanced and tasteful thoughts on feminism, communism (both authoritarian and libertarian), travel, psychology, and other less dramatic themes. They are all thoughtfully interwoven into a very compelling narrative that turned into a real page turner (ear turner?).

Very captivating

Much like Asimov's work, The Dispossessed is dialogue and concept-driven Science Fiction. Not a lot in the way of action but full of rich world-building and ideas about society and our connections to wealth, culture, and the stars.

Great Intellectual Sci Fi

a gripping read that makes you think. Everytime I read it I get more out of it. it is a rare book that discusses the merits of communism and capitalism with an even hand while still being interesting. #Audible1

One of the best sci-fi novels, and one of the best novels, I've ever read. The Universe described is a fascinating, imaginative political utopia and dystopia. The characters are dynamic and the plot is exciting, but unforced.

Fascinating
