Ansul fue una vez una pacífica ciudad llena de bibliotecas, escuelas y templos. Pero eso fue hace mucho, antes de la llegada de los aldos. Los aldos creen que los demonios se esconden en las palabras, y por eso prohibieron la lectura y la escritura, actos que ahora son castigados con la muerte. Los pocos libros que sobrevivieron permanecen escondidos y al cuidado del Maestre, maltrecho tras años de tortura, y de la joven Memer, a la que quiere como a una hija. Pero ahora las cosas están cambiando. Orrec Caspro, el poeta de las Tierras Altas, y su esposa Gry han llegado, y su voz es fuerte y clara, una llamada que despertará al pueblo conquistado. Our protagonist is a young girl in a great house brought low in a conquered and enslaved city. The cruel and ignorant conquerors hate and fear books, and to posses a book is to suffer death. But the girl is the daughter of the great house, and without her being aware, the gift the house has bestowed on her is gradually strengthening. And then everything starts to change when the story teller and the caller of animals from the Uplands in the first story in the series arrive in the City with their lion. An enormously resonant story, highly recommended. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Each book is an independent story, although they are all connected by their themes and also because the main characters of previous books usually play a minor role in the following one. They are coming of age stories. They are also about freedom, and about stories and the power of storytelling.
The first two novels are relatively short and straightforward, while the last is longer and more complex, but the magic of Le Guin's writing is very much apparent in all of them. She writes beautifully, telling her stories with poignancy and hope.
If you are only going to read one, read Powers, the last and best one of the trilogy, but I think it's worth reading the whole trilogy in order to better appreciate the interconnections between them. ( )
