The Unreal and the Real Volume 2: Selected Stories of Ursula K. Le Guin: Outer Space & Inner Lands

About this book

For over half a century multiple award-winner Ursula K. Le Guins stories have shaped the way her readers see the world. Her work gives voice to the voiceless hope to the outsider and speaks truth to power. Le Guins writing is witty wise both sly and forthright; she is a master craftswoman. This two-volume selection of almost forty stories selected from her glittering career was made by Ursula Le Guin herself. She has chosen to organise them thematically splitting the stories into the nominally realistic and fantastic. OUTER SPACE INNER LANDS has twenty stories including such modern classics as The Ones Who Walked Away from Omelas and Nine Lives (both of which have been reprinted more than twenty times); Tiptree Award-winner The Matter of Seggri; Nebula Award-winner Solitude; and the secret history Sur which was included in The Best American Short Stories.
