The star-spanning story of humanity's colonization of other planets, Ursula K. Le Guin's visionary Hainish novels and stories redrew the map of modern science fiction, making it a rich field for literary explorations of "the nature of human nature, " as Margaret Atwood has described Le Guin's subject. Now, for the first time, the complete Hainish novels and stories are collected in a definitive two-volume Library of America edition, with new introductions by the author. This first volume in a definitive two-volume edition gathers the first five Hainish novels: Rocannon's World, in which an ethnologist sent to a bronze-age planet must help defeat an intergalactic enemy, Planet of Exile, the story of human colonists stranded on a planet that is slowly killing them, City of Illusions, which finds a future Earth ruled by the mysterious Shing, and the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning masterpieces The Left Hand of Darkness and The Dispossessed-as well as four short stories.
