Product Description
One of the very best must-read novels of all time - with a new introduction by Roddy Doyle
''A well told tale signifying a good deal; one to be read again and again'' THE TIMES
''The book I wish I had written ... It''s so far away from my own imagination, I''d love to sit at my desk one day and discover that I could think and write like Ursula Le Guin'' Roddy Doyle
''Le Guin is a writer of phenomenal power'' OBSERVER
The Principle of Simultaneity is a scientific breakthrough which will revolutionize interstellar civilization by making possible instantaneous communication. It is the life work of Shevek, a brilliant physicist from the arid anarchist world of Anarres.
But Shevek''s work is being stifled by jealous colleagues, so he travels to Anarres''s sister-planet Urras, hoping to find more liberty and tolerance there. But he soon finds himself being used as a pawn in a deadly political game.
