Description: In the HAINISH NOVELS Ursula LeGuin has created a future history in which civilizations of human beings on planets orbiting a number of nearby stars, including Terra, are contacting each other for the first time and establishing diplomatic relations. They are setting up a confederacy under the guidance of the oldest of the human worlds, peaceful Hain. In this history, human beings did not evolve on Earth but were the result of interstellar colonies planted by Hain long ago, which was followed by a long period when interstellar travel ceased. Chronologically, the novel The Dispossessed is the earliest reference to the Hain. These three books follow, then The Left Hand of Darkness and The Word for World is Forest complete the cycle. Rocannon’s World - in which an ethnologist sent to a bronze-age planet must help defeat an intergalactic enemy. Planet of Exile - the story of human colonists stranded on a planet that is slowly killing them. City of Illusions - which finds a future Earth ruled by the mysterious Shing. This book club hardback, published in September1978, is 370 pages and in "very good" condition with tight binding, pages free of markings, rips or tears and dust cover with very slight wear and tear. I'm including as a FREE BONUS the unabridged readings of The Dispossessed and The Left Hand of Darkness as mp3 files on DVD.
