The Box of Darkness

The collection includes Ursula Le Guin’s stories:

The Wave in the Mind: (A surreal story set in a strange world. Here expressions like “get a grip on yourself” acquire a literal meaning—things live their own lives, and in general this world is too hot and fast. Only someone living in such a world could come up with the foolish idea of putting the famous thought experiment of the creator of quantum mechanics into practice.)

The Liberating Spell: (The first story from the Earthsea cycle. Magic, sorcery, and self-sacrifice.)

The Dark Box: (A story about a prince, his rebellious brother, and a battle that repeats endlessly. Also about a casket of Darkness that will change the usual course of events.)

Nine Lives: (Martin and Pugh have already spent too long together on the unwelcoming planet Libra. How surprised Martin and Pugh were when 5 men and 5 women were sent to help them—everyone shares one face! That is how their first encounter with the tenkites, a person named Jon Chu, took place.)
