The Left Hand of Darkness

In the universe of the Hainish Cycle by Ursula K. Le Guin, Earth is one of many colonies created by progressors from the planet Hain and left unattended for a long time. Such as the closed world of Rokanan. Or the third planet of Gamma Draconis, a planet of exile, with irreconcilable native tribes fighting against the colonists. Or the planet Winter, where the life of its inhabitants directly depends on the lunar cycles... Each world has its own mysteries, its own problems, its own heroes. The only common thread that unites the works of the cycle is the author's belief that not hatred, but the power of love and the ethics of non-interference in the affairs of unlike civilizations can unite worlds and merge peoples into a future alliance of the Ekumen. Most of the works included in the cycle are laureates of the "Hugo", "Nebula" and other prestigious awards in the field of science fiction.
