Orlando, Florida, U.S.A. Harcourt 2003 First Edition Hard Cover New New 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall Beddows, Eric
NEW - Missing a flight, waiting in an airport, listening to garbled announcements - who doesn't hate that misery? But Sita Dulip from Cincinnati finds a method of bypassing the crowds at the desks, the long lines at the toilets, the whimpering children, the bookless bookstores, and the blue plastic chairs. A mere kind of twist and a slipping bend, easier to do than describe, takes her not to Denver but to Strupsirts, a picteresque region of waterspouts and volcanoes, or to Djeyo where she can stay for two nights in a small hotel with a balcony overlooking the amber Sea of Somue. This new discovery - changing planes - enables Sita to visit bizarre societies and cultures that sometimes mirror our own and sometimes open doors into the alien. Le Guin's account of her travels is by turns funny, disturbing, and thought provoking. 246 pages.

This is the spellbinding story of Shevek, a brilliant physicist who single-handedly attempts to reunite two plants cut off from each other by centuries of distrust.

Shevek risks everything in a courageous visit to Urras - to learn, to teach, to share. But his gift becomes a threat. . . and in the profound conflict which ensues, Shevek must re-examine his philosophy of life. An unread mass-market paperback, 311 pages with drawings of the planets. Light wear at the spine ends and bottom front corner.
