Often compared to Tolkien's Middle-earth or Lewis's Narnia, Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea is a stunning fantasy world that grabs quickly at our hearts, pulling us deeply into its imaginary realms. Four books (A Wizard of Earthsea, The Tombs of Atuan, The Farthest Shore, and Tehanu) tell the whole Earthsea cycle--a tale about a reckless, awkward boy named Sparrowhawk who becomes a wizard's apprentice after the wizard reveals Sparrowhawk's true name. The boy comes to realize that his fate may be far more important than he ever dreamed possible. Le Guin challenges her readers to think about the po...

Ursula K. Le Guin--author of more than 80 short stories, 2 collections of essays, 3 volumes of poetry, and 16 novels--has lived on Thurman Street in Portland, Oregon, for more than 25 years. In 1985, on the night of a blue moon, she teamed with photographer Roger Dorbland, a neighbor, to document the 45 blocks of Thurman Street, which lead from industrial warehouses, through poor neighborhoods and wealthy, up a hill to a park with 38 miles of forested trails. Le Guin and Dorbland wanted to capture what was both unique and commonplace about such a city street, and they also caught, through the ...

A modern translation of the great Taoist classic by a leading American author. Le Guin's version avoids scholarly interpretations and esoteric Taoist insights and focuses on the "Tao Te Ching's" immediate relevance--its universality, depth, and refreshing humor--showing why it has been so loved over the centuries.

Price: $20.00 - Ships in 24 hours
Like Stephen Mitchell, acclaimed author and poet Ursula K. Le Guin has attempted a nonliteral, poetic rendition of the Tao Te Ching. She brings to it a punctuated grace that can only have been hammered out during long trials of wordsmithing. The wisdom that she finds in the Tao Te Ching is primal, and her spare, undulating phrases speak volumes. By making the text her own, Le Guin avoids such questions as "Is it accurate?" By making it her own, she has made it for us--a new, uncarved block from which we are free to sculpt our own meaning.

This book illustrates why Le Guin has become one of the most distinctive voices in American science fiction. The premise here is that some poor slob discovers that whatever he dreams becomes reality when he awakes. He's seized upon by a megalomaniacal shrink who uses him to make the world a better place. Only things keep going wrong. Susan Omallie does a mediocre job with this material. Towards the end, one occasionally hears vocal fatigue in the form of dry mouth. There's a line or two that somebody forgot to edit out. Still, the material is strong enough to carry her through all nine sides. ...

Le Guin likens writing to "steering a craft," and as one reads through this volume, one has the sense of floating down a river, with the waves of Le Guin's words lapping at one's craft. Le Guin veers sharply from the mainstream of contemporary writing manuals by challenging their very definition of story. While it is common to "conflate story with conflict," Le Guin writes, she finds that limiting. "Story is change," she says. While that change may be the result of conflict, it is...

Genly Ai is an emissary from the human galaxy to Winter, a lost, stray world. His mission is to bring the planet back into the fold of an evolving galactic civilization, but to do so he must bridge the gulf between his own culture and prejudices and those that he encounters. On a planet where people are of no gender--or both--this is a broad gulf indeed. The inventiveness and delicacy with which Le Guin portrays her alien world are not only unusual and inspiring, they are fundamental to almost all decent science fiction that has been written since. In fact, reading Le Guin again may cause the ...

For listeners who relish keeping the science in science fiction, Le Guin's novella keeps the techies happy. The crew of a test flight experiments with a new stardrive. Bruce offers a clear, direct narration and handles a wealth of unusual vocabulary. The crew and their families include young children, whom Bruce handles ably, making them ring with youthful stridency. The technical production is not up to par with that of the Star Trek series, but it's also not the focus of the story. Part of a group of short, traditional science fiction pieces from AudioText, these add to a genre often overloo...
