Sobre este artículo
(London): Macdonald, 1969. About fine in about fine jacket.. Signed first UK edition of the famous radical science fiction novel on gender and isolation by one of the most influential writers in the genre - an exceptionally beautiful copy. In this novel, inhabitants of the alien planet "Winter" are androgynous, becoming temporarily male or female at periods of fertility. The protagonist is a male visitor from another world, thrown into political machinations that take him on a journey of survival across the ice with a single companion: a native whom he instinctively distrusts. While reckoning with different ways to envision gender, they develop a deep human bond that becomes central to their survival. Winner of both the Hugo and Nebula awards, this UK edition was issued the same year as the US first. One of the great science fiction novels that feels more significant with each passing year. Signed copies are quite scarce. 7.75'' x 5''. Original textured purple paper boards, gilt-stamped spine. In original unclipped (£1.50 / 30s) color pictorial dust jacket. 286 pages. Only a touch of bumping to spine ends. No fading, no marks: crisp and clean.
Sinopsis
The Left Hand of Darkness is a science fiction novel by Ursula K. Le Guin, first published in 1969. The book is one of the first major works of feminist science fiction and is one in a series of books by Le Guin all set in the fictional Hainish universe. It won the 1969 Nebula and 1970 Hugo awards. Plans for a feature film and video game based on the books were announced by Phobos Entertainment Holdings in 2004, but appear to have since stalled.
