"The Day Before the Revolution" is a
science fiction short story by American writer
Ursula K. Le Guin(pictured). First published in Galaxy in August 1974, it was republished in Le Guin's The Wind's Twelve Quarters (1975). Set in her fictional
Hainish universe, the story has strong connections to her novel The Dispossessed (also 1974), and is sometimes referred to as a prologue to the novel. The story follows Odo, an aging
anarchist, who over the course of a day relives memories of her life as an activist as she learns of plans for a
general strike the next day. The strike is implied to be the start of the revolt leading to the idealized anarchist society based on Odo's teachings depicted in the novel. The story was critically well-received. It won the
Nebula and
Locus Awards for Best Short Story in 1975, and was also nominated for a
Hugo Award. Multiple scholars commented that it represented a shift in Le Guin's writing toward non-linear narrative structures and works infused with feminism. (Full article...)

The Giechburg is a partly reconstructed hilltop castle located in the town of
Scheßlitz in
Bavaria, Germany. There was a hilltop fort at the site from at least
Neolithic times, and the castle enters written history in 1125. In 1390, it entered the possession of the
prince-bishops of Bamberg, and its history thereafter is closely allied to the bishopric and the city of
Bamberg. The castle was destroyed and rebuilt several times over the subsequent centuries before undergoing extensive redevelopment between 1599 and 1609. It became less useful to the prince-bishops over the subsequent centuries however, and eventually fell into ruin. After a period in the 19th and 20th centuries in the hands of the von Giech family, the castle was eventually acquired by the district of Bamberg in 1971 and reconstructed as a conference and hospitality centre. This 2021 aerial photograph shows the Giechburg viewed from the north, with the village of Peulendorf in the background.
