Über diesen Titel

The Earth colony of Landin has been stranded on Werel for ten years - and each of Werel's years is over 60 terrestrial years! After so long an exile, the lonely and dwindling human settlement is beginning to feel the strain.

Every winter—a season that lasts a decade and a half - the Earthmen have neighbours: the humanoid hilfs, a nomadic people who only settle down for the cruel cold spell. The hilfs fear the Earthmen, whom they think of as witches, and call the farborns. But both peoples have common enemies: the hordes of ravaging barbarians called gaals, and eerie preying snow ghouls.

Can the hilfs and the farborns overcome their mutual suspicions and join forces? Or will they both be annihilated?

This story is one of Ursula's shorter ones. The central theme is "otherness". In this story it's not really overcome but appears to be fated to be outgrown. Like so many of separate tribes have been merging of the millennia into a people, just as it's happening continuously.

It's got everything it takes to be a gripping, compelling and thought provoking story. The little thought gems beside the obvious ones are about the perception of time, mental barriers and, THE recurring theme of Ursula: power.

The narrator does an exceptional job! Absolutely masterfully read, a pur joy to listen to (in my case surely more than once)!

A compact piece of art
