The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas
Ursula K. Le Guin
1973
Introduction
The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas
is Ursula K. Le Guin’s allegorical tale about a Utopian society in which Omelas’ happiness is made possible by the sacrifice of one child for the sake of the group. In an allegory, many symbols and images are used in an attempt to illustrate universal truths about life. Omelas
was first published in the magazine New Directions in 1973, and the following year it won Le Guin the prestigious Hugo Award for best short story.
