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.
Lo increíble que escribe esta mujer... Qué gigantesco ejercicio de imaginación, de luz, de humanidad. Me ha parecido precioso y real. Se ve perfectamente toda la complejidad que no se narra pero que la autora ha imaginado y considerado, y toda la voluntad de perseguir un mundo mejor.

I love Ursula but this has been my least liked book of hers so I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. I enjoyed the heavy intellectual ideas. I enjoyed the romance. I was utterly destroyed that she made this main character who I had thoroughly liked, out of nowhere sexually assault a woman because he experiences alcohol for the first time in his life. The way it's written is really fucking blaming the woman victim character while our main character dude just gets to brush it off and go on with his life as the hero and doesn't even think about this incident for even one goddamn second for the rest of the book. I know Ursula took some serious thoughts about feminism later in life and made some apologies and changes in her writing with the Earthsea series which I thought was wonderful. I really wish she had taken the time to go back and edit or at least write an apology about this. It fucking sucks. The rest of the story is great. This one scene should be deleted. It's fucking horrible. And no it's totally not believable that creating an anarchist communist society would suddenly erase rape and that rape is just an invention of capitalism and greed. Yea no. I can't bite down on that idea at all. The other heavy ideas make sense but only up to a point and then it's just like trying to say capitalism causes humans to rape. Like no fuck you. Rapists are psychopaths. They are the same as murderers. They are born with it in their brain. They cannot feel empathy. They are predators. Society can't make them do it or not do it. They exist in every society through all time. They can't be fixed either. And a man who is absolutely loving to his true love, his little daughters will not just suddenly sexually assault a woman because he got exposed to capitalism and alcohol and "went crazy." Fucking bullshit rape apology sexist bullshit. And then feel absolutely no remorse about it? Cmon!!
Le Guin was put the light on the despicable society whom is ours by describing through the eyes of an anarchist.
L'autrice met la lumière sur la méprisable société qui est la notre en décrivant à travers les yeux d'un anarchiste.
Una obra que vuelve a usar la ciencia ficción como entrada pero que es un análisis y una reflexión sobre la sociedad, desde la luna Anarres, donde la sociedad se organiza en un modo anarquista/socialissta al planeta Urras, donde tras un conflicto estos últimos fueron expulsados y donde el planeta se organiza en base a oligopolios y un capitalismo salvaje. Como nexo entre ambos mundos el protagonista intenta establecer un diálogo, intentando propiciar el desarrollo de ambas sociedades con la colaboración científica. Un libro que no deja de ser una reflexión y un golpe sobre la mesa sobre la política, la sociedad y el papel de la ciencia y los científicos.
