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-contact world of Rocannon. Or the third planet of Gamma Draconis, a planet of exile, with implacable indigenous tribes fighting against the colonists. Or the planet Winter, where the life of its inhabitants directly depends on lunar cycles… Each world has its own mysteries, its own problems, its own heroes. The only common thread that connects the works of the cycle is the author's belief that it is not hatred, but the power of love and the ethics of non-interference in the affairs of unlike civilizations that can unite worlds and merge peoples into the future alliance of the Ekumen.
