书籍简介:

Shevek, a brilliant physicist, decides to take action. he will seek answers, question the unquestionable, and attempt to tear down the walls of hatred that have isolated his planet of anarchists from the rest of the civilized universe. To do this dangerous task will mean giving up his family and possibly his life. Shevek must make the unprecedented journey to the utopian mother planet, Anarres, to challenge the complex structures of life and living, and ignite the fires of change.

作者简介:

Ursula K. Le Guin published twenty-two novels, eleven volumes of short stories, four collections of essays, twelve books for children, six volumes of poetry and four of translation, and has received many awards: Hugo, Nebula, National Book Award, PEN-Malamud, etc. Her recent publications include the novel Lavinia, an essay collection, Cheek by Jowl, and The Wild Girls. She lived in Portland, Oregon.

She was known for her treatment of gender (The Left Hand of Darkness, The Matter of Seggri), political systems (The Telling, The Dispossessed) and difference/otherness in any other form. Her interest in non-Western philosophies was reflected in works such as "Solitude" and The Telling but even more interesting are her imagined societies, often mixing traits extracted from her profound knowledge of anthropology acquired from growing up with her father, the famous anthropologist, Alfred Kroeber. The Hainish Cycle reflects the anthropologist's experience of immersing themselves in new strange cultures since most of their main characters and narrators (Le Guin favoured the first-person narration) are envoys from a humanitarian organization, the Ekumen, sent to investigate or ally themselves with the people of a different world and learn their ways.

书友短评:

@ Ricsweetky Amazingly written. 一开始,我不太喜欢这本书,相较于《黑暗的左手》,它太沉重了,太贴近我的生活。I read to escape. 我曾希望经由科幻小说进入另外一个世界,一个完全不同的世界,让我忘记所处的世界,用来疏解苦闷。再次阅读,沉下心来读,我深深地被厄休拉震惊了,她太会写了,为什么能这么广博,又这么细腻?既超越了我的认知,构建了另外一个宇宙,又在细微处让我一次又一次感同身受,点醒了我。这是一位怎样的灵魂?还有,第一次阅读时,我以为是走马观花,隔了很久,第二次读了,才惊觉书中很多思想已伴随着我很久了。深度和广度比前不久读的earthsea系列超出太多,我每次读都惊叹不已。

书籍目录

  • “快乐有什么不对呢,塔科维亚?你为什么不想要呢?”“快乐并没有什么不对,只是我并不需要快乐。如果我享用了自己并不需要的东西,那么永远也得不到我真正需要的东西了。“
    —— 引自第158页
  • 世上不再有深渊,不再有墙,也不再有流放异乡的人。作为一个有思想的人,其职责不是为了一种现实而否认另一种现实,而是兼容并蓄,将各种现实连接起来。所谓的永恒,所谓的依靠,不过是人类自己想象出来的一个承诺罢了。没有存在的变化毫无意义,没有变化的存在则无聊透顶。在这里,什么都很美丽,只有人的脸蛋不美丽。在阿纳瑞斯,什么都不美,只有人的脸蛋美。所有男男女女的脸。除此之外,我们一无所有,我们只拥有彼此。在这里你们看到的是珠宝,在那边只能看见眼睛。在眼睛当中,你能看到夺目的光彩,人类精神的闪光。因为我们的男人和女人是自由的——一无所有,但他们自由。而你们在占有的同时也被占有。承诺是一个方向,是自我对于可能性的限制。
