Ursula Le Guin is a star of world literature and a classic of modern science fiction, winner of numerous prestigious awards (including nine Hugo Awards and six Nebula Awards), and the author of Earthsea and the Hainish series. A pillar of so-called soft, humanities-oriented science fiction, Le Guin devoted considerable attention to sociology and psychology, intercultural conflicts, and anthropology.

Published for the first time in Russian, this collection of reflections by this renowned master "on literary creativity, science fiction, and fantasy" offers a fascinating tour of her creative process. She discusses A Wizard of Earthsea and Rocannon's World, Jungian archetypes and bestselling psychology, Philip K. Dick and Stanislav Lem, and Americans who "fear dragons because they fear freedom."

We like to think that we live in the light of day, but half the planet is constantly plunged in shadow; and fantasy, like poetry, speaks the language of the night. (W. Le Guin).
