O Planeta do Exílio [Book] Goodreads
Planet of Exile
author: Ursula K. Le Guin publishing house: Morro Branco 2025 - 9
NA TERRA ONDE O INVERNO É QUASE ETERNO, O EXÍLIO FLORESCE EM SILÊNCIO E DESCONFIANÇA.

Enquanto o planeta Werel entra em seu longo inverno, tensões desgastam as relações entre suas duas populações: os foviali nômades nativos e a colônia de terranos perdidos. Entretanto, os dois povos compartilham não apenas uma herança genética, mas também inimigos em comum. Será que unirão suas forças ou serão aniquilados?

Landin, uma colônia da Terra, está ilhada em Werel há dez anos ― e cada ano de Werel equivale a mais de sessenta anos terrestres! Depois de um exílio tão longo, o assentamento humano, solitário e em declínio, começa a sentir o desgaste.

Todo inverno ― uma estação que dura uma década e meia ― os terranos ganham como vizinhos os foviali humanoides, um povo nômade que só se assenta para a temporada de frio cruel. Os foviali temem os terranos, a quem consideram bruxos, e a quem chamam de distantinos. Mas os dois povos têm inimigos em comum: as hordas de bárbaros saqueadores chamados gaal, e os ghouls das neves, predadores sinistros.

Ainda pequeno, o pastor órfão de mãe descobriu seus poderes e foi para uma escola de magos.

Os despossuídos [Book] NeoDB Goodreads
author: Ursula K. Le Guin publishing house: Aleph 2017 - 6
Escrito em 1974 pela brilhante e premiada Ursula K. Le Guin, Os Despossuídos é uma ficção científica incomum, utópica e distópica, sobre dois planetas gêmeos separados por conflitos e desconfianças, e um homem que arriscará tudo para reuni-los.

Urras é um mundo de abundantes recursos dividido em vários estados-nação. Em meio a extremos de riqueza e pobreza, dois deles estão em guerra para estender sua influência – e seu sistema político – sobre os demais. Anarres, por sua vez, é o planeta recluso e anarquista gêmeo de Urras, cuja visão utópica de seus colonizadores acabou criando uma ilusão de sociedade perfeita. Essa ilusão só é quebrada quando Shevek, um jovem físico brilhante de Anarres, descobre a Teoria da Simultaneidade, uma ideia que pode acabar com o isolamento de seu planeta e, ao mesmo tempo, avivar as guerras do planeta vizinho.

Seguindo o estilo de Le Guin, este livro aborda questões de fundo sociológico, como liberdade, desigualdade, individual versus coletivo, e temas políticos cruciais, como anarquismo e polarizações políticas. Embora seja fruto da influência da Guerra Fria, este livro continua cativante e extremamente atual. Situado no mesmo universo ficcional de A mão esquerda da escuridão , outro clássico da autora, Os Despossuídos recebeu o prêmio Nebula em 1974 e os prêmios Hugo e Locus em 1975.

The Dispossessed [Book] Goodreads
author: Ursula K. Le Guin / Karen Joy Fowler publishing house: Harper Perennial 2024 - 11
In celebration of its fiftieth anniversary, a commemorative edition of Ursula K. Le Guin’s Hugo, Locus, and Nebula Award–winning classic, a profound and thoughtful tale of anarchism and capitalism, individualism and collectivism, and one ambitious man’s quest to bridge the ideological chasm separating two worlds. This special edition includes a new foreword by Karen Joy Fowler.

The Dispossessed is the spellbinding story of anarchist Shevek, the “galactically famous scientist,” who single-handedly attempts to reunite two planets cut off from each other by centuries of distrust.

Anarres, Shevek’s homeland, is a bleak moon settled by an anarchic utopian civilization, where there is no government, and everyone, at least nominally, is a revolutionary. It has long been isolated from other worlds, including its mother planet, Urras—defined by warring nations, great poverty, and immense wealth. Now Shevek, a brilliant physicist, is determined to unify the two civilizations. In the face of great hostility, outright threats, and the pain of separation from his family, he makes an unprecedented trip to Urras. Greater than any concern for his own wellbeing is the belief that the walls of hatred, distrust, and philosophic division between his planet and the rest of the civilized universe must be torn down. He will seek answers, question the unquestionable, and explore differences in customs and cultures, determined 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. Almost immediately upon his arrival, he finds not the egotistical philistines he expected, but an intelligent, complex people who warmly welcome him. But soon the ambitious scientist and his gift is seen as a threat, and in the profound conflict that ensues, he must reexamine his beliefs even as he ignites the fires of change.

Buffalo Gals, Won't You Come Out Tonight [Book] Goodreads
author: Ursula K. Le Guin / Susan Seddon Boulet publishing house: Pomegranate 1994 - 1
In this intriguing tale (not for children), storyteller extraordinaire Ursula K. Le Guin explores the magic of animals. Her animal characters -- from the irreverent trickster Coyote to the wise matriarch Grandmother Spider -- seem like people to us, just as they do to the little girl who finds herself living among them. We learn, with the girl, that these "Old People" once lived freely on the earth but now must maintain their lifeways carefully alongside the "New People" -- humans.Susan Seddon Boulet chose this tale to illustrate, completing twenty works for its publication. They are extremely effective in bringing Le Guin's characters to life, imbuing them, of course, with Boulet's singular vision of the otherworldly realms occupied by animal spirits. This book is a must for any serious collector of Boulet art.
The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction [Book] Goodreads
author: Ursula K. Le Guin publishing house: Cosmogenesis 2024 - 9
In The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction, visionary author Ursula K. Le Guin retells the story of human origin by redefining technology as a cultural carrier bag rather than a weapon of domination.

Hacking the linear, progressive mode of the Techno-Heroic, the Carrier Bag Theory of human evolution proposes: 'before the tool that forces energy outward, we made the tool that brings energy home.' Prior to the preeminence of sticks, swords and the Hero's long, hard, killing tools, our ancestors' greatest invention was the container: the basket of wild oats, the medicine bundle, the net made of your own hair, the home, the shrine, the place that contains whatever is sacred. The recipient, the holder, the story. The bag of stars.

This influential essay opens a portal to terra ignota: unknown lands where the possibilities of human experience and knowledge can be discovered anew.

With a new introduction by Donna Haraway, the eminent cyberfeminist, author of the revolutionary A Cyborg Manifesto and most recently, Staying with the Trouble and Manifestly Haraway. With images by Lee Bul, a leading South Korean feminist artist who had a retrospective at London's Hayward Gallery in 2018.

The Word for World is Forest
author: Ursula K. Le Guin translator: Heci Regina Candiani publishing house: Morro Branco 2020 - 10
O planeta Athshe era um verdadeiro paraíso, coberto por densas e colossais florestas. Seus habitantes, humanoides com pouco mais de um metro de altura e corpos cobertos por pelos verdes e sedosos, viviam em paz.

Então outros vieram. Muito mais altos e de pele lisa, eles caíram do céu e começaram a desbravar o território ao seu redor, enxergando os nativos como meros animais selvagens. Eles vieram de um mundo em ruínas e superpovoado, faminto por matérias-primas, madeira e grãos: a Terra.

Sem precedentes culturais para tirania, escravidão ou guerra, os nativos encontram-se à mercê de seus novos e brutais colonizadores.

Quando o desespero atinge níveis inimagináveis, uma revolução é inevitável. Cada golpe contra os invasores será um golpe contra sua própria humanidade. Mas os conquistadores alienígenas os ensinaram a odiar... e não há como voltar atrás.
