Paperback. Condizione: New. Five hundred years since its first publication, Thomas More's Utopia remains astonishingly radical and provocative. More imagines an island nation where thousands live in peace and harmony, men and women are both educated, and property is communal. In a text hovering between fantasy, satire, blueprint and game, More explores the theories and realities behind war, political conflicts, social tensions and redistribution, and imagines the day-to-day lives of a citizenry living free from fear, oppression, violence and suffering.But there has always been a shadow at the heart of Utopia. If this is a depiction of the perfect state, why, as well as wonder, does it provoke a growing unease?In this quincentenary edition, published in conjunction with Somerset House, More's text is introduced by multi-award-winning author China Miéville and accompanied by four essays from Ursula K. Le Guin, today's most distinguished utopian writer and thinker.

Planet of Exile is Le Guin's second novel, set in her Hainish universe. Mankind Under the Leash is also Disch's second novel, an expansion of his 1965 novelette "White Fang Goes Dingo" published in If magazine; it has also appeared under Disch's preferred title The Puppies of Terra. A landmark pairing of two of science fiction's most distinctive literary voices, both at the very outset of careers that would reshape the field. Planet of Exile is set on Werel, third planet of the Gamma Draconis system, where a stranded colony of humans must forge an alliance with the indigenous people to survive a catastrophic winter and an invading horde ? an early and already characteristic Le Guin meditation on exile, cultural contact, and mutual dependence, part of her celebrated Hainish cycle that would eventually include The Left Hand of Darkness and The Dispossessed. On the flip side, Mankind Under the Leash is a satirical novel about a young man raised under alien domination of humanity who comes to rebel against his masters ? darkly witty, socially sharp, and entirely characteristic of the singular Thomas M. Disch. Both writers went on to earn reputations extending well beyond science fiction, among the most literary-minded authors the genre has ever produced. This is the only printing in which both novels appear together, and the true first book publication of each. A highly collectible Ace Double pairing two major science fiction authors early in their careers. Ursula K. Le Guin's Planet of Exile is part of her Hainish Cycle and was first published in this Ace Double tête-bêche format, paired with Thomas M. Disch's Mankind Under the Leash, later also known as The Puppies of Terra. Planet of Exile is set on the planet Werel, where long seasons shape the lives of both native peoples and stranded offworld humans, blending anthropological science fiction, alien-world building, cultural conflict, and survival against an approaching winter. Mankind Under the Leash offers Disch's sharp, satirical SF perspective in a story of humanity under alien domination. Together, this is a desirable Ace Double for collectors of Ursula K. Le Guin, Thomas M. Disch, Hainish Cycle fiction, 1960s science fiction, and paperback originals.
