"A bleak moon settled by utopian anarchists, Anarres has long been isolated from other worlds, including its mother planet, Urras--a civilization of warring nations, great poverty, and immense wealth. Now Shevek, a brilliant physicist, is determined to reunite the two planets, which have been divided by centuries of distrust. He will seek answers, question the unquestionable, and attempt to tear down the walls of hatred that have kept them apart. To visit Urras--to learn, to teach, to share--will require great sacrifice and risks, which Shevek willingly accepts. But the ambitious scientist's gift is soon seen as a threat, and in the profound conflict that ensues, he must reexamine his beliefs even as he ignites the fires of change." -- taken from Harper Collins website.… (més)

I don't know how I feel. ( )

The political philosophy of the book is certainly intriguing. Le Guin makes anarchist philosophy about as approachable as anyone could. but the story itself is quite slow and plodding, and some of the metaphors are so thin it feels cheesy. I do greatly appreciate the inversion of the utopia trope (having someone from Utopia as the outsider instead) and do think that lent to a much better examination of the differences between the two worlds.

This is one of the most satisfying books about ideologies and intentionally-worn blinders I've ever read. Use of an SF world with two opposed cultures and their economies, social psychologies, and deeply-entrenched biases really allowed Le Guin to write clearly about realpolitik, more so even than most non-fiction writers with their own internal mechanisms.

And Shevek is simply a mensch for all seasons, you gotta love him. ( )

Another excellent example of speculative fiction by LeGuin. The first three Hainish novels are more traditional scifi, but like Left Hand of Darkness, this one is pure speculative fiction. On one of the world settled by humans long ago, a small group of people revolted from the capitalist society on Urras and moved to Anarres, a poor desert world in the same system. There they formed a perfectly socialist or communist society with no government, no leaders and a non-cash economy. Everyone works and everyone works where it is needed, no matter what the job. Enter into the world of Anarres Shevek, a brilliant physicist. When he struggles to complete his great theory, he goes to Urras to meet with other physicists. This disrupts both worlds and himself and his family.
This is a comparison of a egalitarian society vs. a capitalist society, without being idealistic. Really excellent and still relevant today. ( )

Doch wollte Le Guin mit den Habenichtsen und ihrem Planeten weder ideale Menschen schildern, noch eine ideale Gesellschaft. Zu deutlich zeichnet sie die Schwächen und Mängel beider. Nicht nur die Urrasti, auch viele der Menschen auf Anarres sind hab- und machtgierig, intrigant und Karrieristen, obwohl es dort offiziell weder eine Hierarchie noch Eigentum gibt. Doch dafür werden die Anarresti gelegentlich "gezwungen, auf eigenen Wunsch für einige Zeit wegzugehen", weil die Gesellschaft sie andernorts braucht - oder auch, weil sie einem Mächtigeren im Weg sind. "Ein Paar, das eine Partnerschaft einging, tat dies in voller Kenntnis der Tatsache, dass es jederzeit durch die Erfordernisse der Arbeitsteilung getrennt werden konnte." Es gibt Zwangsarbeit, und Dissidenten werden schon mal zur "Therapie" auf einsame Inseln verbracht, und schon im ersten Teil des Romans stellt Shevek resignierend fest, "dass man für niemanden etwas tun kann. Wir können uns nicht gegenseitig retten. Nicht mal uns selber."

You shall not go down twice to the same river, nor can you go home again. That he knew; indeed it was the basis of his view of the world. Yet from that acceptance of transience he evolved his vast theory, wherein what is most changeable is shown to be fullest of eternity, and your relationship to the river, and the river's relationship to you and to itself, turns out to be at once more complex and more reassuring than a mere lack of identity. You can go home again, the General Temporal Theory asserts, so long as you understand that home is a place where you have never been.
Like all power seekers, Pae was amazingly shortsighted. There was a trivial, abortive quality to his mind; it lacked depth, affect, imagination. It was, in fact, a primitive instrument.
