Le Guin's Hugo, Locus, and Nebula Award-winning classic, a masterful, thought-provoking tale of anarchism and capitalism, individualism and collectivism, and one ambitious man's quest to bridge the ideological chasm separating two worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's the spellbinding story of anarchist Shevek, the galactically famous physicist from the severely isolationist and anarchic Anarres. In the face of great hostility, outright threats, and the pain of separation from his family, Shevek makes an unprecedented trip to the rich mother planet, Urras, defined by warring nations, great poverty, and immense wealth. Greater than any concern for his own well-being 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUpon his arrival, he finds not the egotistical philistines he expected, but an intelligent, complex people who warmly welcome him. But soon Shevek and his work are seen as a threat, and in the profound conflict that ensues, he must reexamine his beliefs even as he ignites the fires of change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA BEAUTIFUL PACKAGE WITH FLAPS: \u003c\/b\u003e Featuring French flaps and a unique vivid cover design, each book in the collection is published as a deluxe trade paperback that is a part of a stunning series look.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHARPER COLLINS AMERICAN CLASSICS: \u003c\/b\u003e This series includes timeless novels, poetry, children's books, and groundbreaking nonfiction that has shaped American thought, literature, and identity across generations.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAMERICA'S PUBLISHER: \u003c\/b\u003e Since its founding in 1817, no American publisher has been so entwined in the history of American letters.
