About the author
Ursula K. Le Guin
1,047 books32.3k followersUrsula K. Le Guin published twenty-two novels, eleven volumes of short stories, four collections of essays, twelve books for children, six volumes of poetry and four of translation, and has received many awards: Hugo, Nebula, National Book Award, PEN-Malamud, etc. Her recent publications include the novel Lavinia, an essay collection, Cheek by Jowl, and The Wild Girls. She lived in Portland, Oregon.
She was known for her treatment of gender (The Left Hand of Darkness, The Matter of Seggri), political systems (The Telling, The Dispossessed) and difference/otherness in any other form. Her interest in non-Western philosophies was reflected in works such as "Solitude" and The Telling but even more interesting are her imagined societies, often mixing traits extracted from her profound knowledge of anthropology acquired from growing up with her father, the famous anthropologist, Alfred Kroeber. The Hainish Cycle reflects the anthropologist's experience of immersing themselves in new strange cultures since most of their main characters and narrators (Le Guin favoured the first-person narration) are envoys from a humanitarian organization, the Ekumen, sent to investigate or ally themselves with the people of a different world and learn their ways.

Preciosa adaptación.
Evoca bien la sensación de la obra original.
Excelente uso de las palabras pero también de los silencios. Muchas imágenes y páginas sin texto con mucho peso.

Una buena adaptación de un clásico, con grandiosas páginas mudas donde la inmensidad del mar supera a cualquier palabra escrita. Otra virguería de Fred Fordham.

Un libro que leí hace algo de tiempo, por lo que no lo recuerdo bien del todo.
Aún así es un libro de fantasía que es distinto al género habitual, lo recuerdo con cariño.
