New Releases by Ursula K. Le Guin

Four interconnected novellas follow the stories of disgraced revolutionary Abberkam, callow "space brat" Solly, haughty soldier Teyeo, and historian and exile Havzhiva as each battles for duty and freedom. Reprint.

The title story portrays the birth of democracy in Eastern Europe, Standing Ground is set in an abortion clinic and features a teenage girl, and the story, Poacher, offers a new twist on Sleeping Beauty.

All four brilliant stories in one volume. Age 9+ 704 pages

In these stories, connected loosely but powerfully by their rugged Pacific Northwest setting, LeGuin portrays residents of a small Oregon shore town with sympathy and no sentiment. Many of the tales center around women drawn together in threes - mother, daughter, grandmother - by illness or death.

Incisive, eloquent, crackling with ideas, this is a "mental-biography" of the award-winning fiction writer, Ursula K. Le Guin. She draws together essays, travel journals, lectures, informal talks and reviews spanning twelve years, for a fascinating peek into the mind of a remarkable woman. Copyright © Libri GmbH.
