Description

Description

An ethnologist scholar visits the planet Gethen (which in the Earth language means winter), thus facing a completely different world than Earth.

This contact with the "foreign" forces the hero to completely reevaluate taboo positions and views, not only regarding the nature of sex and sexism but also concerning cultural alienation in general. The Earthly Envoy slowly but steadily sheds outdated ideas and inhumane philosophies, overcoming a multitude of arteriosclerotic conventions, ultimately leading to understanding.

On a long journey through the ice, which contains the notion of initiation, along with his Gethenian co-protagonist, he will realize the significance of the Other Reality, the power and complexity of Nature, the overwhelming authenticity of events, and ultimately the dark side of the self.

Review this product
  • Was it easy to read?
  • Was it interesting enough?
  • I liked the writing style
  • I would read a book by the same author
  • I would recommend it for reading
  • Paper quality
  • Nice book with an interesting message but it's not really to my taste. Quite a bit of science fiction and at some points I got bored. I admit that as I read the chapters it became more interesting so I might read this author again
