Recensione:

“The Telling will make you anticipate tomorrow a bit differently than you did yesterday.” —Denver Rocky Mountain News
“Powerfully moving...This is humanist SF at its best, LeGuin in top form.” —Faren Miller, Locus

“Her language, which sings true in every line, is simple and profound, and her storytelling is sure.” —Los Angeles Times

“I was enthralled.” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch
“In The Telling, the long overdue continuation of her classic Hainish cycle, Ursula K. Le Guin combines the gifts of a pure storyteller at the height of her powers with a wise and passionate heart and the disciplined, ceaselessly questioning mind of a true philosopher... In her Hainish books she is creating a social anthropology of the future, fascinating and utterly believable.” —Peter S. Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn
 
“Spellbinding.”—The Denver Post
