Summary

Ursula K. Le Guin: The World is Called a Forest

Humans have depleted the resources of Terra and for generations no one has seen a real, living tree there. However, the Terrans are still in desperate need of lumber. So they went to another world, Atshe, composed of oceans and forested islands, to harvest the treasure and transport it to the home planet. The plan seems very simple and achievable, except for one catch: Atše is not deprived of a conscious life. On it live people about one meter tall and covered with green fur, people who live in perfect harmony with the wooded and shadowy surroundings, a peaceful tiny people who know how to dream consciously and who do not know violence. However, thanks to the people and their logging camps with "voluntary" labor, they will encounter it in its most brutal form...

The world is said to be a forest is the work of an angry author who cannot come to terms with the injustice that man inflicts on other people, other living beings and the world in which he lives. Although it was written at the time of the Vietnam War, which Ursula K. le Guin strongly opposed, it is still perfectly current, because it deals with topics such as invasion, exploitation, repression, the necessity of resistance, the necessity of caring for the planet and its resources, the need for tolerance and understanding between peoples, races, genders.

Sharp, provocative and subversive, this short novel, which belongs to the author's informal Hain cycle, encourages the reader to think about the questions and issues raised. decide according to them, in other words, to, if possible, change and see the world in a different light. The topicality of this kind of reading should serve as a sad reminder that in many aspects our civilization still has a lot to learn and refine if it would not reach a level where similar literary outrages would not be necessary.
