About This Item
Spine is tight, but has a very subtle lean. There are stains to the front and back end-sheets and jacket flaps, where the jacket was once taped and has now offset. Interior is else clean and unmarked. No other notable wear to the book. The back of the jacket has some very light soiling/rubbing, but is in nice shape overall. Jacket design by Lena Fong Lueg. Jacket illustration by Jack Gaughan. 218 pp. Fiction.
Synopsis
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.
