"The Dispossessed", one of the finest political novels, and - fortunately - not only that, is one of the greatest studies of Politics in the realm of Science Fiction and at the same time an interesting study of the evolution of a scientist's thought. In terms of ideas, it is the author's greatest work; the Brechtian distancing observed in many parts of the work further aids the reader in the cool assessment of the problems faced. "The Dispossessed" is considered the pinnacle of the entire Hainish Series and a major work of art. (Makis Panorios)
"Le Guin is wonderful at challenging readers to a journey beyond the known world of the senses. Her imaginary world is both earthy and understandable." (The Times)
The fantastic story of a man in search of utopia.
