ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia by Ursula K. Le Guin follows the journey of Shevek, a brilliant physicist from the anarchist moon Anarres, to the affluent planet Urras. Driven by a desire to break down the intellectual walls between the two worlds and share his groundbreaking theories, Shevek encounters a society starkly different from his own.

On Urras, he grapples with the complexities of a hierarchical, property-owning culture, facing both fascination and disillusionment. The narrative explores themes of utopianism, the tension between individual freedom and social responsibility, and the challenges of communication across ideological divides. The concept of walls, both physical and metaphorical, serves as a central motif, representing separation and the potential for connection.
