The Dispossessed

Shevek, a brilliant physicist and advisor to the rulers of the planet Anarres, has made a momentous decision: he will risk an unprecedented journey to Urras, the utopian mother world of his species, in order to take his revolutionary ideas directly to the people of Earth. Through mastery of theoretical physics, Shevek hopes finally to unite all peoples as one planet, one family — for peace among worlds and freedom for all individuals.
