Genly Ai is an ethnologist observing the people of the planet Gethen, a world perpetually in winter. The people there are androgynous, normally neuter, but they can become male ot female at the peak of their sexual cycle. They seem to Genly Ai alien, unsophisticated and confusing. But he is drawn into the complex politics of the planet and, during a long, tortuous journey across the ice with a politician who has fallen from favour and has been outcast, he loses his professional detachment and reaches a painful understanding of the true nature of Gethenians and, in a moving and memorable sequence, even finds love.

Great read
Thought provoking. I have not read much 'sci-fi' but this confounded my expectations. Once I had got past the strange names, dates etc, and focused on plot and character it became easier. I really enjoyed the story, which follows an outsider trying to understand another culture whilst undertaking a diplomatic mission, and becoming embroiled in political conflict. There is wonderful writing about the hostile scenery and environment which made it all seem very real. The plot explores themes of otherness, gender, friendship and trust. I enjoyed reading it very much.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

New world, old people.
The situation in this book is obviously different to any people experience here in this life and on this world. The same principles still apply. This is an intriguing story written in a novel way.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
