About the book

Le Guin's The Dispossessed follows physicist Shevek, who leaves the anarchist society of the moon Anarres to visit the wealthy neighbouring world of Urras. His journey forces him to compare two radically different political and economic systems, neither of which entirely fulfils its ideals. The novel combines science fiction with an intelligent examination of freedom, property, revolution and the compromises required by society.
