The Left Hand of Darkness
By Ursula K. Le Guin

This stunning award-winning book is more than a sci-fi novel, but a meditation on mankind and what makes us human.

The Left Hand of Darkness takes the reader on a ponderous odyssey in an icy world, both in weather and in spirit, while ruminating on societal norms of friendship, gender roles, positions of power, religion, and what it means to be patriotic.

Le Guin enchants readers with vivid, awe-inspiring world-building balanced with powerful insights to reflect on for some time after you’ve turned the last page.
