Über diesen Titel

One of the very best must-listen novels of all time - with a new introduction by Roddy Doyle

'There was a wall. It did not look important - even a child could climb it. But the idea was real. Like all walls it was ambiguous, two-faced. What was inside it and what was outside it depended upon which side of it you were on...'

Shevek is brilliant scientist who is attempting to find a new theory of time - but there are those who are jealous of his work, and will do anything to block him. So he leaves his homeland, hoping to find a place of more liberty and tolerance. Initially feted, Shevek soon finds himself being used as a pawn in a deadly political game.

With powerful themes of freedom, society and the natural world's influence on competition and co-operation, THE DISPOSSESSED is a true classic of the 20th century.

Featuring a new introduction written and read by Roddy Doyle

Kritikerstimmen

The book I wish I had written ... It's so far away from my own imagination, I'd love to sit at my desk one day and discover that I could think and write like Ursula Le Guin (Roddy Doyle)
An extraordinary work ... [Le Guin] created a working society in exquisite detail ... a fully realised hypothetical culture [as well as] living breathing characters who are inevitable products of that culture (Baird Searles)

so powerful so creative so disruptive the dispossessed allowed me to feel my possessiveness, how I am possessed and free state is to be dispossessed.

read and feel how this book frees your mind

Le Guinn sketches out a landscape of alien politics and philosophy, of worlds that are at once quite strange and yet seem bizarrely within reach.

This is my favourite kind of sci fi, the genre of ideas.
It serves to explore our current society and it's trends and possibilities by way of fictional worlds while still staying grounded.

As a mere story it may not be that great. If you're looking for some simple bedside sci-fi, this is still an alright pick.
However, if you're searching for a book that makes you reflect upon society, to vicariously live in the worlds that our earthen visionaries dreamed up time and time again, then take a plunge into this lovely written book and dream of a better world, a better way.

Musings on Power, Community and Time

It is a perfectly told story of people and ideas and the way they shape each other throughout a lifetime. Must listen/read if you are interested in the realities of social life.

A profound political and personal story
