Ganadora de los premios Hugo, Nebula, Locus, Jupiter y Prometheus. Shevek, un físico, originario de Antares, un planeta aislado y anarquista, decide viajar al planeta madre Urras, en el que impera un sistema llamado el propietario. Shevek cree por encima de todo que las ideologías, que separan su planeta del resto del universo civilizado, deben ser derribados. En este contexto la autora explora algunos de los problemas de nuestro tiempo: la posición de la mujer en la estructura social, la complejidad de las relaciones humanas, los méritos y las promesas de las ideologías, las perspectivas del idealismo político en el mundo actual.

One of the books I want to keep returning to

I first read this book 20 years ago in a German translation and liked it a lot, but I didn't get a lot of it. Now, reading the English original and having had more of a political education, at first I was: "Is this book as good as I remember it?", but then, I enjoyed it even more.

I love that it's not an unbroken utopia and the ending leaves some things open. I also liked how it shows how power-laden relationships and positions can inadvertently creep back into a society that's not supposed to have them.
