Ged, the greatest sorcerer in all Earthsea, was called Sparrowhawk in his reckless youth.

Hungry for power and knowledge, Sparrowhawk tampered with long-held secrets and loosed a terrible shadow upon the world. This is the tale of his testing, how he mastered the mighty words of power, tamed an ancient dragon, and crossed death's threshold to restore the balance.

When young Tenar is chosen as high priestess to the ancient and nameless Powers of the Earth, everything is taken away - home, family, possessions, even her name. For she is now Arha, the Eaten One, guardian of the ominous Tombs of Atuan.

While she is learning her way through the dark labyrinth, a young wizard, Ged, comes to steal the Tombs' greatest hidden treasure, the Ring of Erreth-Akbe. But Ged also brings with him the light of magic, and together, he and Tenar escape from the darkness that has become her domain.

George Orr is a mild and unremarkable man who finds the world a less than pleasant place to live: seven billion people jostle for living space and food. But George dreams dreams which do in fact change reality – and he has no means of controlling this extraordinary power.

Psychiatrist Dr William Haber offers to help. At first sceptical of George’s powers, he comes to astonished belief. When he allows ambition to get the better of ethics, George finds himself caught up in a situation of alarming peril.

Darkness threatens to overtake Earthsea: the world and its wizards are losing their magic. Despite being wearied with age, Ged Sparrowhawk - Archmage, wizard, and dragonlord - embarks on a daring, treacherous journey, accompanied by Enlad's young Prince Arren, to discover the reasons behind this devastating pattern of loss. Together they will sail to the farthest reaches of their world - even beyond the realm of death - as they seek to restore magic to a land desperately thirsty for it.

Some inhabitants of a peaceful kingdom cannot tolerate the act of cruelty that underlies its happiness.
The story "Omelas" was first published in New Dimensions 3 , a hard-cover science fiction anthology edited by Robert Silverberg, in October 1973, and the following year it won Le Guin the prestigious Hugo Award for best short story.
It was subsequently printed in her short story collection The Wind's Twelve Quarters in 1975.

The award-winning masterpiece by one of today's most honored writers, Ursula K. Le Guin!

The Word for World is Forest

When the inhabitants of a peaceful world are conquered by the bloodthirsty yumens, their existence is irrevocably altered. Forced into servitude, the Athsheans find themselves at the mercy of their brutal masters.

Desperation causes the Athsheans, led by Selver, to retaliate against their captors, abandoning their strictures against violence. But in defending their lives, they have endangered the very foundations of their society. For every blow against the invaders is a blow to the humanity of the Athsheans. And once the killing starts, there is no turning back.

«La luz es la mano izquierda de la oscuridad, y la oscuridad es la mano derecha de la luz. Las dos son una, vida y muerte, juntas como amantes en kémmer, como manos unidas, como el término y el camino.»

«Escribiré mi informe como si contara una historia, pues me enseñaron siendo niño que la verdad nace de la imaginación». Así comienza su relato Genly Ai, enviado al planeta Gueden—también llamado Invierno por su gélido clima—con el propósito de contactar con sus habitantes y proponerles unirse a la liga de planetas conocida como el Ecumen. Los guedenianos tienen una particularidad que los hace únicos: son hermafroditas, y adoptan uno u otro sexo exclusivamente en la época de celo, denominada kémmer. En Invierno, Ai contacta con Estraven, un alto cargo que le mostrará cuán diferente puede llegar a ser una sociedad donde no existe la diferenciación sexual.

"Otorite kişinin kendisinden mi kaynaklanır, yoksa etrafındakilerden mi?"

Ursula K. Le Guin, bilimkurgu ve fantazi edebiyatına damga vurmuş en büyük yazarlardan; türün kraliçesi. Kitapları ve fikirleriyle hem okurlara hem de yazarlara ilham veren Le Guin, erken dönem eserlerinden Sürgün Gezegeni'nde bizi ötekilik, önyargı, varoluş ve yuva özlemi gibi olgular üzerine derin bir yolculuğa çıkarıyor.

Galaksinin karanlık tarafındaki Sürgün Gezegeni'nde iki büyük halkın mücadelesi hep süregelmiştir: Alterralılar ve Tevarlılar. Gezegenin yabancıları ve "ötekileri" olan Alterralılar -diğer adıyla yabansoylular eski güçlerini kaybetmiş, nüfusu gittikçe azalan bir halktır.

Tevarlılar diğer adıyla izcanlılar "ötekiler"den hoşlanmayan, muhafazakâr, geri kalmış, ilerlemeye kapalı bir topluluktur.

Güney Göçü başlayıp Gaallar güneye doğru ilerleyince büyük savaş kapıya dayanır. Alterralılar ve Tevarlılar bir araya gelip ortak düşmana karşı savaşacak ya da yaklaşan uzun kışla birlikte felakete sürükleneceklerdir. Rolery ve Agat'ın sıradışı hikâyesi de işte bu süreçte başlar.

Mülksüzler ve Karanlığın Sol Eli'nin de dahil olduğu Hainish Cycle'ın bir parçası olan Sürgün Gezegeni, toplumsal ve düşünsel yargılara etkileyici bir dokunuş.
-Ursula K. Le Guin'in önsözüyle-

Ursula K. Le Guin’s most poetic works of fiction unfolds in 13 interconnected stories about women and the lives of artists in a small coastal town in Oregon

One of Ursula K. Le Guin's most realistic works, Searoad: Chronicles of Klatsand, which was first published in 1991, is also among her most inventive. Cast as a series of interconnected stories set in a small vacation town on the Oregon coast, it offers vivid and powerfully evocative portraits of the town's residents and the community they have built. Some have deep roots in the village, while others have come for just a weekend: but all are pilgrims subject to inexpressible longings.

Le Guin’s response to Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own, this unforgettable novel plumbs some of the deepest and most abiding themes in Le Guin's work, especially the relationships between mothers and daughters, the nature of women’s work, and the lives of artists.

In one of her most deeply felt works of fiction, Le Guin explores the dreams and sorrows of the inhabitants of Klatsand, Oregon, a beach town where ordinary people bring their dreams and sorrows for a weekend or the rest of their lives, and sometimes learn to read what the sea writes on the sand. Searoad is the story of a particular place that could be any place, and of a people so distinctly drawn they could be any of us.

Nine Lives is a 1968 science fiction novelette by Ursula K. Le Guin. Originally published in Playboy magazine (it was reprinted in The Wind's Twelve Quarters), the story uses human cloning to explore perceptions of self and other. When it was published, Le Guin opted for publishing it under her initials (U.K. Le Guin) rather than her name, as per Playboy's suggestion that a female author would make its readers "nervous". Le Guin has said "It's not surprising that Playboy hadn't had its consciousness raised back then, but it is surprising to me to realize how thoughtlessly I went along with them. It was the first (and is the only) time I met with anything I understood as sexual prejudice, prejudice against me as a woman writer, from any editor or publisher; and it seemed so silly, so grotesque, that I failed to see that it was also important." It was first recognized on the national level when president Lyndon B. Johnson found the story in Playboy and heavily endorsed it. The presidential endorsement caused the story to spread across the country very rapidly, with an extremely positive result.[citation needed] It was nominated for the Nebula Award for Best Novelette in 1969.
"Nine Lives" is one of the few stories Le Guin has described as being "hard-core" science fiction, using the concept of cloning to explore the concept of the "self". Le Guin also disclosed that the inspiration for "Nine Lives" came from a chapter in Gordon Rattray Taylor's 1968 book, The Biological Time Bomb.
In November 2012, "Nine Lives" was published in a two-part collection of short stories Le Guin released called "The Unreal and the Real". Volume one was titled "Where on Earth" and highlighted "interest in realism and magic realism and includes eighteen of Le Guin’s satirical, political, and experimental earthbound stories." Volume two, where "Nine Lives" was published, was titled "Outer Space Inner Lands" and focused more on Le Guin's non-realistic stories.

Em um mundo assolado por instabilidade climática e superpopulação, George Orr, um cidadão pacato e mundano, descobre que seus sonhos têm o poder de alterar a realidade. Quando acorda, o mundo que conhecia tornou-se um lugar estranho, quase irreconhecível, em que apenas ele tem a memória de como era antes.

Sem rumo, ele busca a ajuda do Dr. William Haber, psiquiatra que logo deixa de lado o seu ceticismo e entende o poder que George possui, transformando-o em um peão de um perigoso jogo, em que o destino da humanidade fica mais ameaçado a cada instante.

Tão relevante para o mundo atual quanto era ao ganhar o prêmio Locus (1972), esta história de Ursula Le Guin é um verdadeiro clássico, profético e ferozmente inteligente.

Source title: As Tumbas de Atuan (Em Portugues do Brasil)

Há quem diga que o feiticeiro mais poderoso de todos os tempos é um homem chamado Gavião. Este livro narra as aventuras de Ged, o menino que um dia se tornará essa lenda.

Ainda pequeno, o pastor órfão de mãe descobriu seus poderes e foi para uma escola de magos. Porém, deslumbrado com tudo o que a magia podia lhe proporcionar, Ged foi logo dominado pelo orgulho e a impaciência e, sem querer, libertou um grande mal, um monstro assustador que o levou a uma cruzada mortal pelos mares solitários.

Publicado originalmente em 1968, O feiticeiro de Terramar se tornou um clássico da literatura de fantasia. Ged é um predecessor em magia e rebeldia de Harry Potter. E Ursula K. Le Guin é uma referência para escritores do gênero como Patrick Rothfuss, Joe Abercrombie e Neil Gaiman.

In The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction, visionary author Ursula K. Le Guin retells the story of human origin by redefining technology as a cultural carrier bag rather than a weapon of domination.

Hacking the linear, progressive mode of the Techno-Heroic, the Carrier Bag Theory of human evolution proposes: 'before the tool that forces energy outward, we made the tool that brings energy home.' Prior to the preeminence of sticks, swords and the Hero's long, hard, killing tools, our ancestors' greatest invention was the container: the basket of wild oats, the medicine bundle, the net made of your own hair, the home, the shrine, the place that contains whatever is sacred. The recipient, the holder, the story. The bag of stars.

This influential essay opens a portal to terra ignota: unknown lands where the possibilities of human experience and knowledge can be discovered anew.

With a new introduction by Donna Haraway, the eminent cyberfeminist, author of the revolutionary A Cyborg Manifesto and most recently, Staying with the Trouble and Manifestly Haraway. With images by Lee Bul, a leading South Korean feminist artist who had a retrospective at London's Hayward Gallery in 2018.

O planeta Athshe era um verdadeiro paraíso, coberto por densas e colossais florestas. Seus habitantes, humanoides com pouco mais de um metro de altura e corpos cobertos por pelos verdes e sedosos, viviam em paz.

Então outros vieram. Muito mais altos e de pele lisa, eles caíram do céu e começaram a desbravar o território ao seu redor, enxergando os nativos como meros animais selvagens. Eles vieram de um mundo em ruínas e superpovoado, faminto por matérias-primas, madeira e grãos: a Terra.

Sem precedentes culturais para tirania, escravidão ou guerra, os nativos encontram-se à mercê de seus novos e brutais colonizadores.

Quando o desespero atinge níveis inimagináveis, uma revolução é inevitável. Cada golpe contra os invasores será um golpe contra sua própria humanidade. Mas os conquistadores alienígenas os ensinaram a odiar... e não há como voltar atrás.
