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.
