Unzufrieden mit dem kapitalistisch-feudalistischen Gesellschaftssystem des Planeten Urras beschlossen die nach ihrer philosophischen Führerin genannten Odonier den unwirtlichen, bisher nur als Ressourcenlieferanten dienenden Mond Anarres zu besiedeln. Dort soll eine neue Form des Zusammenlebens auf der Basis der absoluten Gleichberechtigung in Bezug auf Status und Besitz gegründet werden. Jeder Kontakt mit der Herkunftswelt wird konsequent abgelehnt. Nach 170 Jahren fast vollständiger Isolation macht sich der geniale Temporalphysiker Shevek als erster Odonier auf den Weg nach Urras, um die Grenzen der Kommunikation zwischen den Planeten, sogar zwischen allen von Menschen besiedelten Welten, einzureißen.

Una obra maestra sobre la dicotomía individualidad - sociedad

5 stars

Ursula K. Le Guin trata con maestría conceptos tan profundos y filosóficos como qué es la libertad en una sociedad organizada. Se acerca a cómo se organizan las sociedades mediante sus leyes y sistemas económicos. Y, además, te va descubriendo todo esto con una alternancia de capítulos entre una ubicación y otra bastante bien manejada.

Me costó que me enganchase al principio, pero luego me ha encantado. Para mí, a la altura de clásicos como Un Mundo Feliz, me ha hecho reflexionar mucho y me ha marcado.

Wonderful Thought Experiment

5 stars

What would happen if people fed up with a capitalist society could start anew, on their own world, and implement a truly equal society? How would it compare? Is it really a better way of living? Or simply different?

All these questions are packed into this great novel. It was my favourite from the Hainish cycle, after The Left Hand of Darkness left me a bit disappointed. This one though was truly exciting.

Review of 'The Dispossessed' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Like all of Le Guin's work, The Dispossessed comes across as deeply informed. We are presented with a credible anarchist society based on the concept of mutual aid, which is constantly juxtaposed with the more familiar capitalist dystopia to present the unique challenges such a society may face -- the price of its people's freedom and where the new walls appear.

Un gran libro

5 stars

Un libro bellissimo, che parla di anarchia più di quanto i testi anarchici criptici e volutamente astrusi alla comprensione abbiano mai fatto. La descrizione perfetta di una società capitalistica, patriarcale, guerrafondaia, classista in contrapposizione a chi ha effettuato la scelta di non volere più nulla di questo, di voler scientemente non possedere nulla di materiale o immateriale per poi in realtà condividere tutto. Certo nulla è perfetto e ci sarà sempre chi cercherà di esercitare il potere anche se in modo lieve, qualcosa scricchiola. Questo libro è entrato a far parte dei miei "libri fondamentali", quelli da dover leggere almeno una volta nella vita.

5 stars

More plot than most of her books, it still turns back into a person on a journey. Shevek is on a journey from his anarchic home to a capitalist world. What propels him from a simple world of shared struggles? Why leave? When he arrives can he accomplish his goals? Is there something he can do that the people there couldn’t do for themselves? Will he be trapped and neutralized by the soft prison of luxury?

And how can he return home? What awaits an anarchist who is seen to turn his back on the revolution?

I love the deep thinking about language and the practice of mutual aid in a land with few resources. I love the true struggle to stay good when the droughts hit. And the challenge that centralization and coordination always brings. Everything is dealt with in indirect ways that paint larger pictures just out of …

Surprise Anarchy

5 stars

Went into this book having heard not a lot about it, and did not expect it to turn into an anarchist manifesto, but was pleasantly surprised by the depth of the discussions between the characters and the vivacity of the world described. Will definitely purchase a copy for myself.

Primero la historia

El personaje es un físico, lo que ya me predispone bien

Sin embargo, mi profesión es común en las novelas de ciencia ficción, y me pregunto cuánto habrá tenido eso que ver con elegirla.

Sin embargo, el personaje de LeGuin es un físico muy real. Hay algo extremadamente familiar en la constante introspección, el aislamiento que se siente aunque no se sufre, y la necesidad de poner todo lo demás a un costado para aprender algo acerca del funcionamiento del universo.

No me había sentido tan identificado con un personaje desde... bueno, desde el Severian de Gene Wolfe que me dió un nick para las redes.

La manera de narrar, con una aproximación desde dos tiempos, el presente de Shevek en Urras y su vida anterior en Anarris, en capítulos alternados, funciona muy bien.

Vamos aprendiendo de Shevek y de Anarris a medida que él va aprendiendo …

An unflinching look at anarchism

5 stars

It’s a testament to Le Guin’s integrity and imagination that should could imagine so precisely the limitations of a social system she herself advocated for.

Like most Le Guin’s Hainish Cycle novels, this is primarily an anthropological work. It’s more concerned with society and ideology than with plot or characters.

A classic of speculative fiction, The Dispossessed is a seminal work of the genre.

On a personal note, I loved the subplot about a gay character who wishes he could have children of his own, even in a society where child rearing is communal. While not the focus of the story, it touches briefly on subject that remains a strong taboo in the gay community to this day.

Uno dei libri più belli che abbia mai letto

5 stars

Un libro di fantascienza geniale, avvincente e al tempo stesso ricco di significato. Negli ultimi anni ho tratto grande piacere dallo studio del pensiero anarchico e delle sue differenze con il comunismo autoritario (e chiaramente con il capitalismo). Penso che il pensiero anarchico sia criminalmente escluso dagli studi scolastici e che moltissime persone, per questo motivo, non sappiano realmente cosa sia. I reietti dell'altro pianeta immagina un'utopia anarchica, dandole però sostanza: è bellissimo vedere come funzionerebbe una società anarchica secondo Ursula Le Guin, anche perché ne presenta anche le possibili criticità. La critica feroce alla concezione del lavoro e dello sfruttamento nel capitalismo sono da pelle d'oca. Ho imparato più sull'anarchia leggendo lei che leggendo Kropotkin!

I only had one problem with it

Le Guin is a fucking genius

5 stars

This book blew. My. Mind. I'm serious, for this alone Ursula K Le Guin became my fav sci-fi author, leaps and bounds above anybody else. She showed me what you can do with science fiction, how you can break the limits of the imagination. It is the first time I actually managed to picture a non-hierarchical society and it is so real, so visceral, that things clicked and I realized that "wait, this is possible!?" And she does that with a completely made up story set in two completely made up societies, both fleshed out with their greatness and infamy, their ideologies and contradictions.

It is NOT an easy read: Le Guin happily forces your brain to do some mental gymnastic, where things don't make any sense until a few pages later when they suddenly, perfectly do, things click in place and your mind is blown.

It is the book …

Holy fuck

5 stars

Wow. What else is there to say? This book was a buffet of ideas ranging from sexism, capitalism, socialism, the military-industrial complex, and politics. I especially enjoyed Le Guin's writing on women, but anarchist and archist, through the eyes of the anarchist main character. For the first few chapters I was amazed at Le Guin's interpretation at an anarchist utopian, and took it as a blueprint for the work we socialists have to do here on Earth. But as the book progressed we learned more about the so-called utopia and it's possible fault -- one of which being politics and the formation of government--and I finished the book with more questions than answers. This was a delightful and nerdy read.
