ralentina a publié une critique de Four ways to forgiveness par Ursula K. Le Guin (Hainish Cycle, #7)
Determined to like Le Guin's fiction
4 étoiles
Four long-ish stories set in the same universe, and all dealing with what it means to be free (from slavery, from oppression, from ignorance...). I once read an essay by Ursula Le Guin (Introducing myself) and my life was forever changed, or at least so I felt. As a result, I have the utmost admiration for her, and am determined to appreciate her fiction, too. With Four Ways to Forgiveness, I'm finally making good progress. It takes time and effort to grasp and process the histories of these worlds, with the social systems they produced. The good news is that it is worth. There are also some great characters and story lines in here, and the writing is very skillful.
