The Wind's Twelve Quarters and The Compass Rose

Ursula K. Le Guin has been recognised for almost fifty years as one of the most important writers in the SF field – and beyond. These two collections bring together some of her finest short fiction, including Award-winners "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas", "The Day Before the Revolution", "Sur", and the Hugo-nominated "Winter's King", which gave readers their first glimpse of the world later made famous in her Hugo- and Nebula-winning masterpiece The Left Hand of Darkness.
