Pro Reviews: The Dispossessed
Urras is far more like America than it is unlike, while Anarres's closest parallel would be with the China that Western utopians like to believe in...Miss LeGuin does not pretend that socialism can remove all the horrors of human existence, but shows how they could be much lessened by a society structured so as not to indulge overweening individualism. Her Urras, too, is more than a bugbear world of siren attractions. It is at war with itself and with its own contradictions...'The Dispossessed' is largely a novel of conversations. Often of sixth-form polemics. It is written with thought, care--even love--but its tone is one of unrelieved earnestness.
Publisher Notes: The Dispossessed
- Centuries ago, the moon Anarres was settled by utopian anarchists who left the Earthlike planet Urras in search of a better world, a new beginning. Now a brilliant physicist, Shevek, determines to reunite the two civilizations that have been separated by hatred since long before he was born.
"The Dispossessed" is a penetrating examination of society and humanity -- and one man's brave undertaking to question the unquestionable and ignite the fires of change.
