The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas: A Story
$11.99 online at Bookshop.org
In Ursula K. Le Guin’s philosophical short story, the utopian city of Omelas celebrates a summer festival of unbelievable happiness, yet its prosperity depends on the perpetual misery of a single child kept in filth and darkness. Most citizens, once they learn the truth, accept that one injustice as the price of the city’s joy. A few, young and old, walk away alone toward an unknown place, and none return.
