Summary: Why no more printed ?
Review: "The Dispossessed" describes a world I would like to live in.
Whithout personnel properties, whithout the need to own anything. No one will be rated for his belongings, but for his personality.
This is what communism is meant to be.
One of the books I read again and again. If I had to take only one book to take whith me on an island, this would be the one.
I really do not understand, why this book is no more printed.
Or is it for political reasons ?
I am really happy to own a copy.

Summary: Repossess the future
Review: "To break a promise is to deny the reality of the past; therefore it is to deny the hope of a real future." -- one of the more pertinent observations made in this outstanding book, one I found myself thinking about more than any other after reading it. Otherwise "The Dispossessed" is, among other things, an exploration of utopias, political systems and the politics of utopias. As usual Le Guin wraps all of these otherwise tiresome sounding political/philosophical themes into a very engaging SF story, with outstanding characters and a generally plausible storyline. It also falls among Le Guin's many books that subtly dissect humankind's rather high opinion of itself. . .

Summary: A Simply Fantastic Science Fiction Utopian Novel
Review: A great book that anyone interested in either utopian fiction or great science fiction will love. A strong plot told in a non-lineral fashion that makes you think about what freedom really is. I read this book on the recommendation I found in a Joanna Russ essay. Could not put it down, If you can find it, do your self a favor and read this book. The best book by her that I have read, even better than the Earthsea books.
