ABC SUMMER READ: "If you like your summer read to make you think you can't go wrong with Ursula le Guin, particularly this title as it will ignite a political philosophical debate within you. Her language is beautiful, also!" - Sophie, ABC The Hague staff.

Centuries ago, the moon Anarres was settled by utopian anarchists who left the Earthlike planet Urras in search of a better world, a new beginning. Now a brilliant physicist, Shevek, determines to reunite the two civilizations that have been separated by hatred since long before he was born. The Dispossessed is a penetrating examination of society and humanity -- and one man's brave undertaking to question the unquestionable and ignite the fires of change.


What We're Reading: "What a writer! She always manages to present entire(ly thought-out) worlds and communities to get lost in. Glorious." - Sophie, ABC The Hague staff, January 2019.
