"When I read The Lathe of Heaven as a young man, my mind was boggled; now when I read it, more than twenty-five years later, it breaks my heart. Only a great work of literature can bridge - so thrillingly - that impossible span." (Michael Chabon)
"A rare and powerful synthesis of poetry and science, reason and emotion." (The New York Times)
"Gracefully developed...extremely inventive.... What science fiction is supposed to do." (Newsweek)
"Profound. Beautifully wrought... [Le Guin's] perceptions of such matters as geopolitics, race, socialized medicine, and the patient-shrink relationship are razor sharp and more than a little cutting." (National Review)
"A very good book... A writer's writer, Ursula Le Guin brings reality itself to the proving ground." (Theodore Sturgeon)

Description du livre Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. George Orr is in most respects a mild and unremarkable man who finds the world a less than pleasant place to live: seven billion people jostle for living space and food. But George has an ability with which he can transform the world around him: for George dreams dreams which do in fact change reality. He has no way of controlling this extraordinary power, and his psychiatrist is at first sceptical. When Dr Haber sees the effects of George's power, he cannot resist using it: at first just to advance his own career, but then, gaining confidence, to try to change their overcrowded world into a more attractive place. Through his dreams, George Orr can make alternate realities real. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
