书籍简介：

Winner of the Hugo and Nebula Awards. A groundbreaking work of science fiction, The Left Hand of Darkness tells the story of a lone human emissary to Winter, an alien world whose inhabitants can change their gender. His goal is to facilitate Winter's inclusion in a growing intergalactic civilization. But to do so he must bridge the gulf between his own views and those of the completely dissimilar culture that he encounters. Embracing the aspects of psychology, society, and human emotion on an alien world, The Left Hand of Darkness stands as a landmark achievement in the annals of intellectual science fiction.

作者简介：

Ursula Kroeber Le Guin (US /ˈɜːrsələ ˈkroʊbər ləˈɡwɪn/; born October 21, 1929) is an American author of novels, children's books, and short stories, mainly in the genres of fantasy and science fiction. She has also written poetry and essays. First published in the 1960s, her work has often depicted futuristic or imaginary alternative worlds in politics, the natural environment, gender, religion, sexuality and ethnography.

She influenced such Booker Prize winners and other writers as Salman Rushdie and David Mitchell – and notable science fiction and fantasy writers including Neil Gaiman and Iain Banks. She has won the Hugo Award, Nebula Award, Locus Award, and World Fantasy Award, each more than once. In 2014, she was awarded the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. Le Guin has resided in Portland, Oregon since 1959.

书友短评：

@ 戎易 A noble science fiction/ethnography/memoir. So complex that the imperial overtone and universality overstretch are well couched. I had the good fortune of finishing it on the Gethenian Calendar (at the end of the first hour). The shift of narrative focus and voice is ethnographically brilliant (Kudos to Kroeber). Rare and stunningly woven! @ 袭人继续收破烂 “Up here on the Ice each of us is singular, isolate, I as cut off from those like me, from my society and its rules, as he from his.” “I talk about the gods; I am an atheist. But I am an artist too, and therefore a liar. Distrust everything I say. I am telling the truth.” @ Richard This might have become my favorite fiction, in a totally unexpected way. I would need a few days to process it completely but man that journey through the north and the profound intimacy, sadness, and hope beaming out of Therem Estraven – I will be thinking about this for a long time. Such a bleak yet warm story to read in wintertimes.
