description: In her most ambitious and prophetic novel to date, Ursula K. Le Guin has produced a stunning tour de force - the spellbinding story of Shevek, a brillian physicist who single-handedly attempts to reunite two planets cut off from each other by centuries of distrust. Anarres, Shevek's homeland, is a bleak moon settled by an anarchic utopian civilization; Urras, the mother planet is a world very similar to Earth, with warring nations, great poverty and immense wealth. Shevek risks everything in a courageous visit to Urras - to learn, to teach, to share. But his gift becomes a threat...and in the profound conflict which ensues, Shevek must re-examine his philosophy of life.--back cover
