Yesterday the email came from one of my favorite bookstores, I have several, and today I rushed to their shop to secure a copy. This one ...
... at this bookstore.
The publishing house is named "Sanje" - "The Dreams" and bookstore is "Hiša sanjajočih knjig" or "House of Dreaming Books" as you can see. How fitting.
OK, the book itself.
I am ashamed to admit that I didn't read The Lathe of Heaven (Nebeški mlin in Slovenian translation which actually means Heavenly mill, go figure).
Ursula, one of my all times favorite authors, published this book in 1971. It is said that today it is even more to the point as when it came out. Why? Quote from Ursula's official web page:
In a future world racked by violence and environmental catastrophes, George Orr wakes up one day to discover that his dreams have the ability to alter reality. He seeks help from Dr. William Haber, a psychiatrist who immediately grasps the power George wields. Soon George must preserve reality itself as Dr. Haber becomes adept at manipulating George’s dreams for his own purposes.
The Lathe of Heaven is an eerily prescient novel from award-winning author Ursula K. Le Guin that masterfully addresses the dangers of power and humanity’s self-destructiveness, questioning the nature of reality itself. It is a classic of the science fiction genre.
Looking forward very much to read this book. After I finish "Be Water, My Friend", 20 pages to go, and maybe read a book or two in between.
better and better
