Description

The Left Hand of Darkness, a groundbreaking work of science fiction, tells the story of a lone human emissary's mission to an unknown alien world. The inhabitants of this world can choose and change their gender, and the emissary's goal is to facilitate the world's inclusion in a growing intergalactic civilization. As he navigates the alien culture, he must bridge the gulf between his own views and those of the completely dissimilar society.

Exploring questions of psychology, society, and human emotion in an alien world, The Left Hand of Darkness stands as a landmark achievement in the annals of science fiction. This novel has transported millions of readers to distant realms and will continue to chart the frontiers of the imagination.

Part of Penguin Galaxy, a collectible series of six sci-fi/fantasy classics, this deluxe hardcover edition features a series introduction by Neil Gaiman. With its dazzling collector-worthy hardcover edition, this book represents a constellation of achievement in visionary fiction, lighting the way toward our knowledge of the universe, and of ourselves.
