Synopsis "Poderes (in Spanish)"

Gavir tiene un don, puede «recordar» el futuro, pero es incapaz de controlar su inexplicable habilidad. Aconsejado por su hermana mayor, Gavir mantiene su poder en secreto. Los dos hermanos son esclavos de la familia Arca y, a pesar de la esclavitud, sus vidas transcurren sin sobresaltos. Hasta que la tragedia se cierne sobre ellos y Gavir debe huir del único hogar que ha conocido. Así se ve inmerso en un peligroso viaje que lo lleva hasta Los Pantanos, el lugar donde lo secuestraron cuando era un niño. Allí conocerá sus orígenes y encontrará una explicación para sus extraños poderes. Poderes, el tercer volumen de los Anales de la Costa Occidental, es una historia épica acerca de la lucha por la libertad y la búsqueda del propio destino.

Ursula K. Le Guin (Berkeley, California, 1929-2018) was a key American author in fantasy literature and science fiction, known for her deep social and philosophical explorations in imaginary worlds. She particularly stood out for two major cycles: the fantasy saga Earthsea - which begins with A Wizard of Earthsea (1968), a story of growth and magic - and the Hainish or Ekumen Cycle, which includes science fiction novels with strong social themes, such as The Left Hand of Darkness (1969) and The Dispossessed (1974).

Her works address complex issues such as gender, politics, anarchism, and ecology, with a critical and humanist approach. She was awarded multiple prestigious prizes, including eight Hugos, six Nebulas, and twenty-two Locus, in addition to the National Book Award and the Newbery Medal. In 2003, she was named Grand Master by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, and received the Alternative Nobel Prize in Literature.

Le Guin left a literary legacy that combines brilliant imagination with deep reflection on the human condition and social justice, establishing herself as an essential voice in twentieth-century literature.
