A family where the participants in the action change roles, a city where you travel from place to place, night ghosts on the seashore, animals that understand more about people than people themselves understand about themselves - this is the world of Ursula Le Guin. But these are only its external manifestations... Nonlinearity of thinking, a special emotional mood, deceptively simple plots or their absence allow us to focus on the main human questions: who are we? Why do we come into this world and what remains after us? — and don’t close the book until the answers are found. For the first time in Russian!
