Orsinian Tales
Orsinian Tales is a collection of short stories by
Ursula K. Le Guin. The setting is a fictional
Eastern European country at times from the Middle Ages to the 1960s. In view of clues in the text, an affinity of place names and a number of particular tales, it is likely that
Hungary was a large part of the inspiration for Orsinia. This is particularly clear in the stories of the working-class characters.
Le Guin's novel Malafrena is also set in Orsinia.
