Stranger in a Strange World: Rocannon's World is the first story among the so valled Hainish Cycle, in it, we are focusing on Rocannon, an alien in a planet with many different species and cultures. He wants to get in contact with his home planet, and he will then embark on an adventure.

The prose, as always with Ursula K Leguin is fantastic, with beautiful one liners. However, the adventure in itself felt bland. The most interesting part are the different cultures explored and the anthropological views, but the journey in itself did not click with me.
