Ursula Le Guin is a classic of modern fiction and a star of world literature, winner of many prestigious awards (including nine—time Hugo and six-time Nebula), author of "Earthsea" and "The Hainish Cycle." One of the pillars of the so-called soft, humanitarian fiction, Le Guin paid great attention to issues of sociology and psychology, intercultural conflicts and anthropology. And perhaps her most personal, deeply cherished project was a series of works about the Central European country of Orsinya with its mountainous capital and ancient forests, fatal passions and centuries—old mythology. You will not find Orsinya on the map, but the world created by the classic's imagination is incredibly real - every inch of it, every episode of a fictional but so familiar story. The book "All about Orsinya", compiled by Le Guin shortly before her death, includes the novel "Malafrena", the collection "Stories about Orsinya" and a number of additional materials — folk songs of the province of Montaine, late stories, a detailed preface. Some of the texts are published in Russian for the first time or in new translations, while the rest are in a new edition.
