Originally published in 1966, the audio version was produced in 2007. Le Guin is a pioneer among women sci-fi writers. Here she does a great job of creating an exciting new world with new beings. The two audiobook readers do a wonderful job of bringing the story further to life.

A pretty strong 3 stars, but I've dropped off of my initial 3.5 star (rounded up) rating. Final review, first posted on Fantasy Literature:
Weâre on the backwater planet Werel, where a human colony from Earth landed some 600 years ago, dropped off by a starship than then left them to fight an unnamed enemy of humanity. Stranded ever since, and having lost all communications with galactic society, this group is slowly dying out, unable to thrive in Werelâs environment (among other things, the rate..more

This turned out to be a fairly average read. The world building and the general ideas behind the plot are excellent. Sadly Le Guin fails when it comes to storytelling. Her writing feels distant and as a result I felt a bit disconnected from the characters and the happenings. Which was a shame as I felt like this had the potential to be something special.

In my review of Left Hand of Darkness, the first of LeGuin's works that I read, I wondered whether she had the authorial depth to create another unusual vision, or whether her books were all of a similar tone. I admit I did not expect them to be quite this similar.

This novel had me from the first sentence, introducing a wilful young female protagonist and a strange, poetically evoked world. On this planet, a single cycle of the moon is more than 400 days, and the full solar year is so long that only the most elderly people have seen any of its long seasons more than once.

In Planet of Exile, a group of settlers from the League of Worlds has been abandoned on their colony for hundreds of years, since the ships all ran off to fight in some great and nameless war. The world is one with a long and eccentric orbit, so its years are 60 earth-years long, and its winters particularly harsh and brutal. The colonists are slowly dying out due to low birth rates and incompatabilities with the native ecology, and hampered by their devotion to a code that will not allow them t..more

She truly is a spectacular writer, even her books that I like the least, I still like.

From a technical point this novel was well done, the writing was beautiful and memorable. The thing is that it didnât work for me, and the reason for this, I think is, that it seemed like Ursula K. Le Guin wrote this book for herself, not for an audience. There was so much worldbuilding and so much depth to each character, which objectively is a good thing, but the problem here is that this novel was really short. She tried to do so many things and in the end it just fell flat for me. Iâm still..more

I am most drawn to Le Guin's works that are more intentionally feminist, so it is no surprise to anyone that what I mostly disliked in this very early novel is the way women are portrayed in the background.. scuttling, shrinking, cringing, whining, submissive, foolish, panicking, 'girls'. Her later works are a breath of fresh air in contrast.

Exile was once the greatest punishment anyone could face: worse than incarceration, worse than execution, worse than mutilation or torture. It was, in fact, its own form of all these other punishments, separating one from the only society s/he had known and forcing her/him into if not permanent solitude at least a land of people of which s/he wasn't nor could never be a part.

A perfectly enjoyable and well written early effort by the wonderful, late Ursula Le Guin. I have not yet read 'Rocannon's World', her first novel, but having read four Hainish Cycle novels, I found it not so essential to read them consecutively. What I liked best about this one was the conditions due to the 60 year orbit period, resulting with 15 year seasons-meaning only the elderly get to repeat a seasons or two during one lifetime. It had me recall the Hal Clement novels I read a couple year..more

Holy worldbuilding, Batman! I think this plot didn't pull me in as much as most of LeGuin's other stories, however this is barely a novella, but packs in a depth of worldbuilding you expect from a 500 page tome. To me it's another one of hers that's SF that really reads as fantasy.

This is, realistically, how a Prime Directive might play out if it were seriously adhered to, over centuries and not 42 minute stretches. It was published the same year that TOS premiered and presumably partakes of a similar zeitgeist.

âPlanet of Exileâ is the second novel from the Hainish cycle and like the first book âRocannonâs Worldâ it is similar in length, contents and the fine blend between science fiction and fantasy.
The setting of âPlanet of Exileâ happens to be the planet Werel, third from the Gamma Draconis system, which is an extremely peculiar world. One year on Werel is equal to 60 human years, which is pretty much the average life length of the Tevarans, who are the planetâs original inhabitants. Like in âRocann..more

Beautiful writing.

The primitive people call the others farborn, and call themselves human. Both groups are threatened by the northern nomads who will be traveling south in advance of the coming 15-year-long winter. The two groups' alliance breaks up because of the romance.

One of my faves in Ursula K. Le Guin's Hainish series, along with The Dispossesed, with which this story shares many similar themes, and The Left Hand of Darkness. Short, beautifully told tale of war, love and survival among abandoned off-world colonists, guided by their 'prime directive' of non-interference, and their primitive, native neighbors in the face of an onslaught of barbaric enemies and the coming of a brutal, years long winter.

This is Ursula K. Le Guin's second standalone novel of the Hainish Cycle (and also her second novel overall). This time, the setting is Weral, a double planet that takes 60 earth years to complete one orbit, which means its winter season lasts around 15 earth years. The Hainish colony of Landin has been on Werel for 600 earth years, and has effectively been marooned there, with no contact from the League of Worlds. Their numbers are dwindling, and they have an uneasy relationship with Tevar, a n..more

Plot summary[edit]
The story is set on Werel, the third planet of the Gamma Draconis system. The planet has an orbital period of 60 Earth years, and is approaching its correspondingly long winter. The main characters belong to one of two major groups: Wold and his daughter Rolery are members of the Tevarans, a tribe of humanoid extraterrestrial indigenous to the planet. Jakob Agat is a young man from a dwindling colony of Earth humans that have been effectively marooned on the planet. Although both populations share a common genetic heritage in the Hainish people, the difference is significant enough to prevent interbreeding.
The relationship between the two groups has long been tense and characterized by limited interaction. However, with the approaching dangers of winter and marauders, the visit of curious young Rolery to the colony becomes a sign of coming changes.

Role in the Hainish Cycle[edit]
Dell express service code canada. The peoples of the various worlds in Le Guin's space fiction are descendants of an ancient settlement from Hain. For example, the Gethenians of The Left Hand of Darkness are believed to have been genetically engineered, as are several other peoples in the League of All Worlds. No such mention of genetic engineering of the Alterransâ Hainish-derived predecessors is made in the story.
In City of Illusions the descendants of the mixed Terrans and Tevarians described in this story rescue Earth (Terra) from alien conquerors who have the unexpected ability to mind-lie â which they used to telepathically conquer planets in the League of All Worlds, so this story is the backstory to City of Illusions. The reunification of the League as the Ecumen is mentioned in The Left Hand of Darkness, but no story so-far published has given any details of the climax of the conflict.
A different planet, also called 'Werel' in Four Ways to Forgiveness, is a completely different world from the planet of the Alterrans described in this story. Pillars of eternity free download mac. The common word for 'world' in the languages of both planets is werel, hence their common names just mean 'The World'.
Literary significance and criticism[edit]
One science fiction scholar points out that Planet of Exile, along with Rocannon's World and City of Illusions exhibits Le Guin's struggle as an emerging writer to arrive at a plausible, uniquely memorable and straightforward locale for her stories.[2]
Publication history[edit]
Planet of Exile was initially published with no introduction, but Le Guin wrote an introduction for Harper & Row's 1978 hardcover edition. Planet of Exile was also reissued in 1978 along with Rocannon's World and City of Illusions in a volume called Three Hainish Novels and in 1996 with the same novels in a volume called Worlds of Exile and Illusion.[3]
