The Dispossessed: A Novel
Seller: Yesterday's Muse, ABAA, ILAB, IOBA, Webster, NY, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Book Club (BCE/BOMC). Book club edition, gutter code 21Q. Jacket lightly rubbed and toned with minor loss from spine ends. Binding tight, text clean and unmarked. 1974 Hard Cover. 338 pp. 8vo. An important work of utopian fiction by Le Guin, which won the Hugo, Nebula, and Locus awards, and was nominated for the John W. Campbell award. On the surface, Le Guin's story of the brilliant physicist Shevek is a tale of a futuristic world, and the struggle of the civilizations on two separate planets to reconcile with each other's way of life. Beneath the surface run deep undercurrents of meaning -- philosophical, religious, and scientific themes that transcend the story itself. Shevek's quest to reconcile two seemingly antithetical schools of theoretical physics is also the individual's quest to reconcile individuality with social behavior, identity with belonging, and freedom with responsibility. Colored by the Taoist sensibilities with which Le Guin has long been fascinated, the parallels drawn in The Dispossessed are simultaneously vivid and subtle -- the style of writing embodies the very ideas that Le Guin attempts to convey. Widely praised even beyond the usual literary circles of science fiction, The Dispossessed is a true masterpiece, the consummation of a unique and detailed vision of a distant world surprisingly similar to our own.

[0-06-012563-2] 1974, 1st edition, 3rd printing. (hardcover) Very good in fine dust jacket. 341pp. 8vo. Ex-lib., with stamps and date paste down, partially removed, from the front free endpaper. That identified, this copy is a first edition, third printing and not a Book Club Edition (BCE). Jacket unclipped. Some residue to the cover, front and back. The Dispossessed is one of only a few books to win all of the big 3 science fiction awards: the Hugo, the Locus, and the Nebula, for best novel and received a degree of recognition unusual for sci fi, perhaps because it explored such themes as anarchism, revolutionary societies, capitalism, utopia, individualism and collectivism. The text is clean and the pages crisp. Overalll, a very good copy in a fine jacket which is protected in a loose mylar sleeve. Seller Inventory # 130423
