Paperback. Condición: Very Good. In this second novel in the Annals of the Western Shore trilogy, Ursula K. Le Guin brings readers a haunting and gripping coming-of-age story set against a backdrop of violence, intolerance, and magic. Ansul was once a peaceful town filled with libraries, schools, and temples. But that was long ago, and the conquerors of this coastal city consider reading and writing to be acts punishable by death. And they believe the Oracle House, where the last few undestroyed books are hidden, is seething with demons. But to seventeen-year-old Memer, the house is a refuge, a place of family and learning, ritual and memory--the only place where she feels truly safe. Then an Uplands poet named Orrec and his wife, Gry, arrive, and everything in Memer's life begins to change. Will she and the people of Ansul at last be brave enough to rebel against their oppressors? Voices is a novel that readers will not soon forget. "Le Guin's crystalline prose and her ability to dramatise political and spiritual issues of our time are unequalled." --Amanda Craig, London Times "As always, Le Guin's language is as airy and sensuous as her concerns are weighty and abstract, every sentence as precise as a spade cut." --Elizabeth Ward, The Washington Post "Barbarians-versus-brainiacs may be well-trod turf, but Le Guin sure-footedly makes it new. She creates a protagonist with obvious appeal to her intended audience: a geeky girl with bad hair but a quick intelligence, who nurses a seething contempt for the illiterate thugs who run everything." --Anne Boles Levy, Los Angeles Times The Annals of the Western Shore Trilogy includes: Gifts Voices Powers. …

Condición: Fair. The National Book Award-winning author takes flight with this bestselling collection of speculative fiction where a woman visits fifteen otherworldly--yet familiar--societies. Sita Dulip has missed her flight. But instead of listening to garbled announcements, she has found a method of bypassing the horrors of the airport. This method--changing planes--enables Sita to visit fifteen societies not found on Earth. She will encounter cultures where the babble of children fades over time into the silence of adults; where whole towns exist solely for holiday shopping; where personalities are ruled by rage; where genetic experiments produce less than desirable results. A fantastical travel guide, reminiscent of>Gulliver's Travels, in which the narrator visits fifteen planes and describes the people, language, and customs with the eye of an anthropologist and the humor of a satirist.--USA Today>.…

Hardback. Condición: Good. Winner of the Hugo Award for Best Related Book and the PEN/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for the Art of the Essay "The pages sparkle with lines that make a reader glance up, searching for an available ear with which to share them. . . " -- Melissa Febos, The New York Times Book Review  From acclaimed author Ursula K. Le Guin, a collection of literary essays--always adroit, often acerbic--on aging, belief, the state of literature, and the state of the nation. Ursula K. Le Guin on the absurdity of denying your age: "If I'm ninety and believe I'm forty-five, I'm headed for a very bad time trying to get out of the bathtub." On cultural perceptions of fantasy: "The direction of escape is toward freedom. So what is 'escapism' an accusation of?" On breakfast: "Eating an egg from the shell takes not only practice, but resolution, even courage, possibly willingness to commit crime." Ursula K. Le Guin took readers to imaginary worlds for decades. In the last great frontier of life, old age, she explored a new literary territory in these powerful reflections on aging: the blog, a forum where she shined. The collected best of Ursula's blog, No Time to Spare presents perfectly crystallized dispatches and wisdom on life and writing that show what mattered to her late in life, her concerns with the world, and her wonder at it: "How rich we are in knowledge, and in all that lies around us yet to learn. Billionaires, all of us." This essential collection delivers her sharp wisdom on the things that truly matter: Witty Nonfiction: Find out why eating a soft-boiled egg requires 'resolution, even courage' in essays that blend the profound with the perfectly mundane. Social Commentary: A sharp defense of fantasy as an escape toward freedom and a clear-eyed critique of a world obsessed with corporate growth. Feminist Essays: A clear-eyed look at the power of sisterhood, the pitfalls of literary 'greatness,' and the quiet strength of women. Essays About Cats: Meet Pard, the spirited feline companion whose antics--from hunting beetles to outsmarting a Time Machine--inspire meditations on life and communication.…
