Ursula K. Le Guin: The Telling - Fantastic Reviews Book Review
Science fiction book review of this Hainish sequence novel set in the universe of the Ekumen.
http://members.aol.com/sfandfbookclub/telling_leguin.htm

Extractions: This review does not give away the ending or any plot twists of The Telling . It does discuss some of the philosophical issues at the heart of the novel. If you prefer to come to The Telling fresh and have all of LeGuin's thoughts unfold for you as you read the novel, you may prefer to read The Telling first, and then to come back to this review and let me know what you think. 246 pages (right) Science fiction readers have to be delighted that Ursula LeGuin is once again focusing her energies on her Hainish sequence of stories and novels, set in the universe of the Ekumen. She has written several short stories in that universe recently, including the outstanding related novellas collected in Four Ways to Forgiveness , and now The Telling is LeGuin's first full-length Hainish novel in over twenty years.

Extractions: The Last Book of Earthsea I own more books by Ursula Le Guin than by any other author (twenty five as of mid-2000). My favourite works are from her "classical" period - the Earthsea trilogy and the science fiction novels The Left Hand of Darkness (1969) and The Dispossessed (1975). I might work up the courage to review the last two one day. Subjects Titles Authors Best Books ...

De ursula K. le guin.
http://www.bibliopolis.org/resenas/rese0241.htm

Extractions: Minotauro, 2002 Por otra parte, los cuentos tienden a ser un tanto repetitivos: El tema de cómo un joven mago (o aspirante a mago) con gran potencial afronta la vida y alcanza la madurez se repite en la mayoría de los cuentos. Este es el esquema en el que se basa "El descubridor" que además es tan largo que se puede considerar una novela corta; si a este argumento le añadimos una historia de amor tenemos "Rosaoscura y Diamante"; si se enfoca en la relación maestro-alumno tenemos "Los Huesos de la Tierra"; y si el aprendiz de mago es una mujer tenemos "Dragonvolador". La teórica excepción sería "En el corazón del pantano", que trata sobre cómo un mago con su potencial alcanzado expía sus pecados, lo cual tampoco es demasiado original. Un mago de Terramar con florituras diversas. Caso aparte es el último cuento, "Dragonvolador", que además de esto, riza más el rizo tratando de reabrir la serie y con un final al que sólo le falta el continuará, lo cual es bastante frustrante después de leer una serie que había quedado completamente cerrada. Los cuentos están bien como introducción a la serie, pero yo recomendaría dirigirse directamente al primer libro.

Extractions: As a reader, I have a complicated relationship with Ursula Kroeber Le Guin, the writer. It seems she's always one step ahead of me, reflecting my feelings and passions in her fiction. I read the young-adult "Earthsea" books while grappling with adolescent angst. I found my own deeply held social justice convictions explored in her science fiction of the 1970s and '80s. Her collections of short stories were required vacation reading, when I had the leisure to admire her lyrical style and glory in how she puts words together. Le Guin once said, "The writer cannot do it alone. The unread story is not a story; it is little black marks on wood pulp. The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story." Given the way her stories have fired my imagination, it's vaguely disappointing to meet Le Guin. She stands a trim 5-foot-4, with white hair and a ready smile. I expect a literary giant to be bigger somehow, to take up more space and oxygen. I expect erudite conversation, but she peppers her speech with "ums," run-on sentences, fragments and common phrases like "Oh, golly!" just like the rest of us.

Profilo dell'autrice a cura di Franco Ricciardiello.
http://www.fantascienza.com/edf/profili/leguin-000.html

Extractions: science-fiction USA: "La mano sinistra delle tenebre" ( The Left Hand of Darkness , 1969), scritto due anni prima, rimane una delle opere fondamentali della fantascienza mondiale. Malgrado non si trasformi radicalmente, lo stile di Le Guin compie una vistoso cambio di direzione per due motivi: The Norton Book of Literature by Women una pesante intrusione ideologica nella struttura di riferimento della sua produzione. yin e lo yang kemmer, il periodo sessualmente attivo per i getheniani. A questa svolta nella produzione dell'autrice statunitense fa seguito uno stallo di alcuni anni durante i quali prosegue la saga fantasy con "Le tombe di Atuan" ( The Tombs of Atuan The Farthest Shore , 1972), produce un freddino "La falce dei cieli" ( The Lathe of Heaven , 1971) e il romanzo ecologista ante-litteram "Il mondo della foresta" ( The Word for World is Forest The Dispossessed , 1974), conosciuto anche come "Quelli di Anarres", che Ursula Le Guin torna a collezionare i premi Hugo e Nebula lasciando una seconda pietra miliare nella letteratura di genere e travalicandone nello stesso tempo ampiamente i confini.

Le Guin has been both prolific and diverse, producing more than 19 novels of science fiction and fantasy, nine volumes of short stories, essays, translations, 13 children's books and poetry. But it is for her science fiction and fantasy that she has received most acclaim, winning six Nebula awards and five Hugos. She created one of the most dazzling and magical epics of the fantasy genre in the Earthsea Quartet and explored complex ideas with moral force and stylistic sophistication in the Hainish suite, which includes The Dispossessed and The Left Hand of Darkness. However, her works are vehicles for her evolving views on feminism, environmentalism and utopia and some have been described as "didactic".

Changing Planes By Ursula Le Guin
Review of the novel Changing Planes by ursula le guin.
http://www.computercrowsnest.com/sfnews2/04_march/review0304_7.shtml

Extractions: pub: Gollancz. 214 page hardback. Price: £ 8.99 (UK). ISBN: 0-575-07564-3 check out website: www.orionbooks.co.uk T his is a strange little book, you know. From the description I'd read previously and from the blurb on the jacket's inside cover, you would imagine that it was a straightforward novel with a central character and a linear narrative. This is not the case though, rather it is a collection of stories all coherently lead by a central theme and idea. This volume centres on something called, after its inventor, the 'Sita Dulip' method, that allows individuals to move between different planes of existence. The triggering factors required for this enterprise to work are the severe discomfort and irritation produced by air travel. Subsequently, airports are the only places where this type of journey is possible. With this assertion the tone of the collection is firmly established, it is a work that is heavy on dry humour and irony.
