Sobre este artículo
Unlike many of her contemporaries in the late 20th Century, Le Guin's setting of worlds were not about other times or in deed worlds - but about the present reality. Our world. This novel won the Nebula for best novel and is about the Vietnam War. It introduces concepts such as "prisons" as no ones knows where it came from etc.
This is a nice copy of the British first edition. The book is square and the binding tight, with no inscriptions. Internally nice and clean. The faults are toning to the top and side edges; and remains of a mark to the half title page. The jacket is protected and the only fault is very slight edge wear to the top of the spine and it is price-clipped. It a nice copy of a desirable dystopia novel.
Sinopsis
The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia is a 1974 utopian science fiction novel by Ursula K. Le Guin, set in the same fictional universe as that of The Left Hand of Darkness. The book won the Nebula Award in 1974, both the Hugo and Locus Awards in 1975, and received a nomination for the John W. Campbell Memorial Award in 1975. It is also notable for achieving a degree of literary recognition unusual for science fiction works.
