''The Wind's Twelve Quarters'' is a collection of short stories by Ursula K. Le Guin, named after a line from A.E. Housman's ''A Shropshire Lad'' and first published by Harper & Row in 1975. Described by Le Guin as a retrospective, it collects 17 previously published stories, four of which were the germ of novels she was to write later: "The Word of Unbinding" and "The Rule of Names" gave Le Guin the place that was to become Earthsea; "Semley's Necklace," was first published as "Dowry of the Angyar" in 1964 and then as the Prologue of the novel ''Rocannon's World'' in 1966; "Winter's King" is about the inhabitants of the planet Winter, as is Le Guin's later novel ''The Left Hand of Darkness''. Most of the other stories are also connected to Le Guin's novels. The story "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" won the Hugo Award in 1974,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?58836 )〕 while "The Day Before the Revolution" won the Locus and Nebula Awards in 1975.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?51749 )〕 ==Contents== *''Foreword'' *''Semley's Necklace'' *''April in Paris'' *''The Masters'' *''Darkness Box'' *''The Word of Unbinding'' *''The Rule of Names'' *''Winter's King'' *''The Good Trip'' *''Nine Lives'' *''Things'' *''A Trip to the Head'' *''Vaster than Empires and More Slow'' *''The Stars Below'' *''The Field of Vision'' *''Direction of the Road'' *''The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas'' *''The Day Before the Revolution'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Wind's Twelve Quarters」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
