Essay



Ursula K. Le Guin was born in 1929 in Berkeley, California.
She is an Author; she writes both poetry and prose, and various modes including realistic fiction, science fiction, fantasy, young children’s books and essays.
Most of her Major titles have remained continuously in print, some for over forty years. Her best known fantasy works, the six books of Earthsea, have sold millions of copies in American and England, and have been translates into different languages.
Her first major work of science fiction, The Left Hand of Darkness, is considered crucial in the field for its radical investigation of gender roles and its moral and fictional complexity. Her novels The Dispossessed and Always Coming Home redefine the scope and style of utopian fiction, while the realistic stories of a small Oregon beach town in Searoad show her permanent sympathy with the ordinary griefs of ordinary people.
Le Guin leads an intensely private life, with sporadic forays into political activism and steady participation in the literary community of her city. Having taught writing workshops from Vermont to Australia, she is now retired from teaching. She limits her public appearances mostly to the West Coast.

The League of Moveable Type’.  This revolution is not a movement against type foundries and they type designers; it’s quite the opposite. The kind of revolution they want to change is the way people think about doing business. 
They say, it’s not always about the money, sometimes it’s also about making a contribution to society.
