The Dispossessed – Ursula LeGuin – USED Book used paperback in average condition Other New and Used Ursula LeGuin Books click here The story takes place on the fictional planet Urras and its moon Anarres (since Anarres is massive enough to hold an atmosphere this is often described as a double planet system). In order to forestall an anarcho-syndical workers’ rebellion the major Urrasti states gave the revolutionaries the right to live on Anarres along with a guarantee of non-interference approximately two hundred years before the events of The Dispossessed. Before this Anarres had had no permanent settlements apart from some mining. The protagonist Shevek is a physicist attempting to develop a General Temporal Theory. The physics of the book describes time as having a much deeper more complex structure than we understand it. It incorporates not only mathematics and physics but also philosophy and ethics. The meaning of the theories in the book weaves nicely into the plot not only describing abstract physical concepts but the ups and downs of the characters’ lives and the transformation of the Anarresti society. An oft-quoted saying in the book is “true journey is return.”. Anarres is in theory a society without government or coercive authoritarian institutions.
