The Word for World is Forest

The Word for World is Forest

Ursula K. Le Guin
Sci-Fi

When the bloodthirsty yumens conquer the Athsheans’ peaceful world, the once serene inhabitants are thrust into brutal servitude.

Selver, an Athshean leader, faces an impossible choice: either accept his people’s suffering or fight back against their violent oppressors. Driven to defend his people, he chooses rebellion, even though each act of violence tears at the foundations of their peaceful society.

As Selver leads the Athsheans in a desperate uprising, he realizes that every strike against the invaders changes his people—risking the loss of their identity and humanity. But with survival on the line, can the Athsheans defend their world without destroying themselves?

In this clash of cultures, will peace ever be possible again, or has the cycle of violence taken root for good?
