Before she upended the conventions of science fiction with such path-breaking works as The Left Hand of Darkness and The Dispossessed, Ursula K. Le Guin created the richly imagined world of Orsinia. The provocative novel Malafrena is set in the 1820s, as Orsinia, a small principality of the Habsburg Empire, was swept up in currents of revolution and nationalism. Included also are 13 additional stories, including all those originally collected as Orsinian Tales. Rounding out the collection are three poems, or songs, which lend additional texture to the Orsinian tapestry.
