Ursula K. Le Guin (1929-2018) was a celebrated author whose body of work includes 23 novels, 12 volumes of short stories, 11 volumes of poetry, 13 children's books, five essay collections, and four works of translation. The breadth and imagination of her work earned her six Nebula Awards, seven Hugo Awards, and SFWA's Grand Master, along with the PEN/Malamud and many other awards. In 2014 she was awarded the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, and in 2016 joined the short list of authors to be published in their lifetimes by the Library of America.
Reads like the retelling of a tale first told centuries ago, and
whose twists and turns have been handed down through generations of
storytellers. It is timeless. . . . Le Guin's words are magical.
Drink this magic up. Drown in it. Dream it
*David Mitchell, author of Cloud Atlas*
A memorable exploration of the relationship between life and death.
. . Ged, its hero, must face his shadow self before it devours him.
Only then will he become whole. In the process, he must contend
with the wisdom of dragons: ambiguous and not our wisdom, but
wisdom nonetheless
