Críticas:

The book I wish I had written ... It's so far away from my own imagination, I'd love to sit at my desk one day and discover that I could think and write like Ursula Le Guin (Roddy Doyle THE TIMES)

An extraordinary work ... [Le Guin] created a working society in exquisite detail ... a fully realised hypothetical culture [as well as] living breathing characters who are inevitable products of that culture (Baird Searles)

A well told tale signifying a good deal; one to be read again and again (THE TIMES)

A deeply imagined work of art (Encyclopedia of Science Fiction)

Le Guin's book ... is so persuasive that it ought to put a stop to the writing of prescriptive Utopias for at least 10 years (NEW YORK TIMES)

[Le Guin had] the heart of a poet who knew all too well the difference between miracle and eureka, revelation and revolution (PUBLISHERS WEEKLY)

Reseña del editor:

The Principle of Simultaneity is a scientific breakthrough which will revolutionize interstellar civilization by making possible instantaneous communication. It is the life work of Shevek, a brilliant physicist from the arid anarchist world of Anarres.

But Shevek's work is being stifled by jealous colleagues, so he travels to Anarres's sister-planet Urras, hoping to find more liberty and tolerance there. But he soon finds himself being used as a pawn in a deadly political game.

. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
