Ursula K. Le Guins Nebula Awardwinning young adult fantasy seriesgathered for the first time in a deluxe collectors edition for readers of all agesTeenagers struggle to come to terms with their own mysterious and magical gifts as they comeofage in the farflung Western Shore.This fifth volume in the definitive Library of America edition of Ursula K. Le Guins work presents a trilogy of comingofage stories set in the Western Shorea world where young people find themselves struggling not just against racism, prejudice, and slavery, but with how to live with the mysterious and magical gifts they have been given. All three novels feature the generous voice and deeply human concerns that mark all Le Guins work, and together they form an elegant anthem to the revolutionary and transformative power of words and storytelling.In Gifts, Orrec and Gry will inherit both their families domains and their gifts, the ability to communicate with animals, or control a mind, or maim or kill with only a word and gesture. Both discover their gifts are not what they thought. In Voices, Memer lives in a city conquered by fundamentalist and superstitious soldiers who have made reading and writing forbidden. But in Memers house there is a secret room where the last few books in the city have been hidden. And in the Nebula Awardwinning Powers, the young slave Gavir can remember any book after reading it just once. It makes him valuable, but it also makes him a threat. Gav sets out to understand who he is, where he came from, and what his gift means.This deluxe edition features Le Guins own previously unseen handdrawn maps. Included in an appendix are essays and interviews about the novels, as well as Le Guins pronunciation guide to the names and languages of the Western Shore.
