Biografía del autor:
'Her most important book since ALWAYS COMING HOME and her most satisfactory collection since her first, the brilliant, THE WIND'S TWELVE QUARTERS. A formidable and rewarding work, a prime candidate for best SF collection of the year. An essential book.' LOCUS
Six of the eight piece are set in Le Guin's classic Hainish cycle. The title story, 'The Birthday of the World', stands alone and the final piece, 'Paradises Lost', is a new short novel original to the collection, a major addition to the generation starship subgenre of science fiction.

Cover Art: Digital Vision & GettyImages / Will Crocker Ilustrador. 2003 Edition. © 2002: A collection of 8 short stories by Ursula K Le Guin:- Contents: Coming Of Age In Karhide / The Matter Of Seggri / Unchosen Love / Mountain Ways / Solitude / Old Music And The Slave Women / The Birthday Of The World / Paradises Lost:- Synopsis: For more than four decades, Ursula K Le Guin has enthralled readers with her imagination, clarity and moral vision, creating a provocative, ever-evolving universe filled with diverse worlds and rich characters. Here, in 'The Birthday Of The World', are eight brilliant short works, including the original novella 'Paradises Lost', which probe the essence of humanity. Six of the tales are set in Le Guin's world of the Ekumen - 'my pseudo-coherent universe with holes in the elbows' as Le Guin describes it, which was made famous in the multi-award-winning classic novel 'The Left Hand Of Darkness'. Step into worlds powered by Le Guin's extraordinary imagination, and discover complex social interactions and troublesome issues of gender and sex, loyalty and survival, religion, history and slavery.
