Krátky popis
A world of peaceful aliens conquered by bloodthirsty yumens, their
existence is irrevocably altered. Forced into servitude, the
Athsheans find themselves at the mercy of their brutal masters.
Desperation causes the Athsheans to retaliate against their
captors, abandoning their strictures against violence.In defending
their lives, they endanger the very foundations of their society.
Every blow against the invaders is a blow to the core of Athsheans'
culture. And once the killing starts, there is no turning
back.Winner of the 1973 Hugo award for Best Novella, and nominated
for many others, The Word for World is Forest is part of Le Guin's
'Hainish Cycle'. It explores a future history of Earth and
pacifistic ideals in its depictions of violence, colonialism and
resistance. 'A simple story that, like most things Le Guin wrote,
packs a powerful emotional and critical punch'- Tordotcom'Deeply
moving and shocking by turns'- Suzanne Reid'Le Guin writes in
quiet, straightforward sentences about people who feel they are
being torn apart by massive forces in society .. . and who fight
courageously to remain whole' - The New York Times Book
