內容簡介

內容簡介 《大西洋月刊》評選的美國偉大小說之一「經典中的經典……她不僅是科幻小說作家，更是一位文學偶像。」——史蒂芬·金「引人入勝……[勒瑰恩] 是一位哲學家，一位心靈疆域的探險者。」——《辛辛那提詢問報》為了紀念出版五十週年，尤蘇拉·K·勒瑰恩的這部經典小說《一無所有》推出了紀念版。該書曾榮獲雨果獎、軌跡獎與星雲獎，是一部深刻且充滿哲思的作品，探討無政府主義與資本主義、個人主義與集體主義的交鋒，以及一位充滿雄心的男子如何試圖跨越兩個世界之間的意識形態鴻溝。本次特別版還收錄了卡倫·喬伊·福勒撰寫的新序言。《一無所有》講述了無政府主義者謝維克（Shevek）——這位「享譽銀河的科學家」的扣人心弦故事。他獨自肩負起重任，嘗試重新聯結因數百年的猜忌而隔絕的兩個星球。謝維克的故鄉安那瑞斯（Anarres）是一個荒涼的衛星，由一個無政府烏托邦文明所定居。在這裡，沒有政府，人人名義上都是革命者。這顆月球長期與其他世界隔絕，特別是與母星烏拉斯（Urras）。烏拉斯是一顆由交戰國家、極度貧困與巨額財富共存的星球。如今，身為傑出物理學家的謝維克立志要統一這兩個文明。儘管面對強烈的敵意、明確的威脅，以及與家人分離的痛苦，他仍毅然決定進行前所未有的旅程，前往烏拉斯。他認為，比起自身的安危，更重要的是拆除仇恨與不信任的高牆，打破這些意識形態分歧，讓他的家園與其他文明世界重新接軌。這場旅程充滿了學習、教導與分享的機會，但也需要巨大的犧牲和風險，而謝維克心甘情願地承擔這一切。剛抵達烏拉斯時，他發現自己並非面對自私淺薄的庸人，而是面對一群複雜且聰慧的人，他們熱情地歡迎他。然而，不久後，他的雄心壯志和所帶來的知識卻被視為威脅，隨之而來的衝突讓謝維克不得不重新審視自己的信仰，同時點燃了變革的火焰。One of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels“One of the greats. . . . Not just a science fiction writer; a literary icon.” —Stephen King"Engrossing. . . . [Le Guin] is a philosopher; an explorer in the landscape of the mind." —Cincinnati EnquirerIn celebration of its fiftieth anniversary, a commemorative edition of Ursula K. Le Guin’s Hugo, Locus, and Nebula Award–winning classic, a profound and thoughtful tale of anarchism and capitalism, individualism and collectivism, and one ambitious man’s quest to bridge the ideological chasm separating two worlds. This special edition includes a new foreword by Karen Joy Fowler.The Dispossessed is the spellbinding story of anarchist Shevek, the “galactically famous scientist,” 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, where there is no government, and everyone, at least nominally, is a revolutionary. It has long been isolated from other worlds, including its mother planet, Urras—defined by warring nations, great poverty, and immense wealth. Now Shevek, a brilliant physicist, is determined to unify the two civilizations. In the face of great hostility, outright threats, and the pain of separation from his family, he makes an unprecedented trip to Urras. Greater than any concern for his own wellbeing is the belief that the walls of hatred, distrust, and philosophic division between his planet and the rest of the civilized universe must be torn down. He will seek answers, question the unquestionable, and explore differences in customs and cultures, determined to tear down the walls of hatred that have kept them apart.To visit Urras—to learn, to teach, to share—will require great sacrifice and risks, which Shevek willingly accepts. Almost immediately upon his arrival, he finds not the egotistical philistines he expected, but an intelligent, complex people who warmly welcome him. But soon the ambitious scientist and his gift is seen as a threat, and in the profound conflict that ensues, he must reexamine his beliefs even as he ignites the fires of change.

各界推薦

各界推薦 Review“Le Guin expanded the boundaries of fiction not just by committing to its revolutionary capacities but also by considering deeply, and with great clarity, other ways of being. The Dispossessed, her most intricate and beautifully realized book, channels her lifelong obsessions—Daoism, pacifism, humanity’s sacred relationship to the natural world—into a moving story that is also about loneliness, will, and what it means to return home. More than a novel, this is an ontological work of extraordinary imagination and compassion." — Meng Jin, The Atlantic"The Dispossessed is still one of Sci-Fi's' smartest books. . . . Remains a thoughtful exploration of politics and economics nearly 50 years later." — Wired“The Dispossessed paints a hopeful and complex portrait of a society rooted in collectivism.” — Naomi Klein, The Week“Le Guin’s most philosophical novel. . . . The Dispossessed is a study of character, ideology and the constant of change." — New York Times“Written with thought, care—even love.” — Times Literary Supplement (London)“Le Guin’s characters, sepecially Shevek and his family, are complex and haunting, and her writing is remarkable for its sinewy grace.” — Time magazine“Engrossing . . . Ursula Le Guin is more than just a writer of adult fantasy and science fiction . . . she is a philosopher; an explorer in the landscapes of the mind.” — Cincinnati Enquirer“A seamless creation: every thing is made up, nothing seems arbitrary.” — New York Times Book Review“Brilliantly conceived and stunningly executed . . . The setting is science fiction, but the tradition is humanistic, reducing life to its essentials and examining human beings in a real world.” — Chicago Daily News“The combination of intelligence and imagination sends ideas dancing endlessly around the brain.” — Christian Science Monitor“Confirm(s) Ms. Le Guin as one of our finest projectionists of brave old and other worlds.” — Kirkus Reviews“Excellent characterization and meaningful ideas make this one of the most important [science fiction] novels of the last several years.” — Library Journal"I would be hard pressed to think of another novel that made as strong an impression on me." — Anthony Ha, author of Love Songs for Monsters"This remains a challenging and urgent book." — The Guardian"Deeply worthwhile reading — subtle, challenging, exquisitely crafted." — sfsite.com"[Ursula Le Guin] . . . is science fiction’s best ambassador to the rest of the world, ever. She has done more to show people why this is an important genre—and maybe the mode of literature we need to navigate our way into a very uncertain future—than anyone else ever will.” — Lisa Yaszek, Professor of Science Fiction Studies in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication at Georgia Tech"One of our finest projectionists of brave old and other worlds." — Kirkus Reviews
