A Wizard of Earthsea
A Quote by Ursula K. Le Guin
You can’t crush ideas by suppressing them. You can only crush them by ignoring them. By refusing to think, refusing to change.
Ursula K. Le Guin

The Left Hand of Darkness explores themes of gender, politics, and human connection on an alien world. Set on the planet Gethen, where the inhabitants are ambisexual, the story follows a human envoy's mission to invite Gethen to join an interplanetary alliance. Le Guin's innovative portrayal of a genderless society challenged readers to reconsider assumptions about sex and gender roles.
