Anarres and Urras are presumably a planet and its satellite, though it’s ambiguous as to which is which or if these worlds are a binary-planetary system: two planets orbiting each other. Published in 1974, The Dispossessed earns its entry into the sci-fi genre by virtue of its settings. Le Guin’s best known novels, The Dispossessed, are Anarres-the smaller of the two, a barren desert devoid of nonhuman fauna and almost all flora but rich in valuable natural resources-and Urras, an paradise resplendent with lush flora and diverse fauna but lacking the resources it acquires from the Anarresti populating Anarres.
The worlds that provide the settings for one of sci-fi maestra Ursula K. Four Stars–From Each According to Her Ability.
