Not a masterwork but this is a good short novel following a man on a journey to save a planet. It has science fiction and fantasy elements. This is the first Hainish novel and the protagonist is an ethnographer who travels to new worlds to investigate new species. In Rocannon's planet there are 3 or 4 different species with zero to little technological developments. The settings reminded me of pre medieval eras, with castles, people carrying swords and riding gigantic (dragon-like) birds. Not my cup of tea tbh. However I loved the kind of emotional ending.
