For the first time in Greek, the most important short story collection by Ursula K. Le Guin.
Included are, among others, the classic The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas (Hugo Award for Best Short Story, 1974), The Day Before the Revolution (Nebula Award for Best Short Story, 1975), a prelude to The Dispossessed, and The Rule of Names, a foundational myth of her fantasy world Earthsea.
The Wind’s Twelve Quarters (1975) is the first short story collection by the great American writer Ursula K. Le Guin.
The stories in this collection span the first decade of her writing career, tracing her development as an author while also foreshadowing her distinctive style, themes, and intellectual concerns.
The volume includes seventeen short stories presented in chronological order, each accompanied by a brief introduction by the author.
Here, readers encounter the early foundations of Earthsea, Le Guin’s beloved fantasy world, the first story of the Hainish Cycle — a precursor to Rocannon’s World — as well as the first appearance of the planet Gethen, or Winter, the setting of The Left Hand of Darkness.
