Un mundo donde conviven los descendientes de dos grupos de exiliados de la tierra; un grupo de pacifistas de varias partes del mundo (sobre todo Rusia y Europa continental) y los convictos de América (sobre todo de Brasil). Con mucha belleza Le Guin muestra ese mundo, su flora y su fauna, mientras narra la tensión entre los pacifistas, que viven en un pueblo y los descendientes de convictos que viven en la ciudad. La protagonista es la hija del cónsul de la ciudad, su sociedad es machista y prioriza el poder de la fuerza, ella aprende de los pacifistas y se une a ellos.

Since the first moment, I knew I was going to love this. I can’t understand how Le Guin is able to make me love characters that are developed in less than 100 pages. I love the struggle, the perspectives and the hopefulness in the story. This was truly amazing.

Ursula K. Le Guin is an author who fits into that type of a mad scientist. What I mean by this.? she has a tendency of creating these words with a philosophical question at the court. Then she takes real people and give them a problem to fix.. and then she just observes the way people go about fixing these issues. I took care of all her riding is a human desire and motive. and that’s why I think she’s in my squishy patience I would say and then she watches as they go and here I think. the feelings, white woman alyship . what does it mean to be an ally and what does your idea of protection to minimize community affect them?
