Description
The star-spanning story of humanity's colonization of other planets, Ursula
K. Le Guin'€™s visionary Hainish novels and stories redrew the map of modern
science fiction, making it a rich field for literary explorations of €œthe
nature of human nature, as Margaret Atwood has described Le Guin'€™s
subject. Now, for the first time, the complete Hainish novels and stories
are collected in a definitive two-volume Library of America edition, with
new introductions by the author. This second volume in a definitive two-
volume edition gathers Le Guin'€™s final two Hainish novels, The Word for
World Is Forest, in which Earth enslaves another planet to strip its
natural resources, and The Telling, the harrowing story of a society which
has suppressed its own cultural heritage. Rounding out the volume are seven
short stories and the story suite Five Ways to Forgiveness, published here
in full for the first time. The endpapers feature a full-color chart of the
known worlds of Hainish descent.
