Ursula Kroeber Le Guin (US /ˈɜːrsələ ˈkroʊbər ləˈɡwɪn/; born October 21, 1929) is an American author of novels, children's books, and short stories, mainly in the genres of fantasy and science fiction. She has also written poetry and essays. First published in the 1960s, her work has often depicted futuristic or imaginary alternative worlds in politics, the natural environment, gender, religion, sexuality and ethnography.
She influenced such Booker Prize winners and other writers as Salman Rushdie and David Mitchell - and notable science fiction and fantasy writers including Neil Gaiman and Iain Banks. She has won the Hugo Award, Nebula Award, Locus Award, and World Fantasy Award, each more than once. In 2014, she was awarded the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. Le Guin has resided in Portland, Oregon since 1959.

A groundbreaking work of science fiction, The Left Hand of Darkness tells the story of a lone human emissary to Winter, an alien world whose inhabitants can change their gender. His goal is to facilitate Winter's inclusion in a growing intergalactic civilization. But to do so he must bridge the gulf between his own views and those of the completely dissimilar culture that he encounters. Embracing the aspects of psychology, society, and human emotion on an alien world, The Left Hand of Darkness stands as a landmark achievement in the annals of intellectual science fiction.
。 就一个文本而言,《黑暗的左手》最特殊的地方在于三点:第一,它构建了了一个不存在男女,由中性人组成的世界。第二,文本中出现的三种政体的实体,爱库曼,卡亥德和欧格瑞恩,它们恰恰可以作为民主制,封建制和社会主义公有制的延伸进行解读。第三,书中对于伊斯特拉凡的...
评分 评分中性人即双性人的世界,几个孩子的母亲也可能是几个孩子的父亲,全社会共同抚养小孩,没有所谓家庭的单位。 仅仅是这一条,便能吸引我去读,这与其说是勒古恩的想像力,不如说是某些人共同的理想社会。我也是这“某些人”之一。 这个故事似乎发生在一个遥想得到的时空,太多的...
评分如果说到女性科幻小说作家,娥苏拉-勒瑰恩无疑是当中极端具有分量的一位。娥苏拉是美国作家,获得过无数的大奖。她同时还是一位女性主义作家,对女性主义议题有着广泛的涉猎和深入的探讨。《黑暗的左手》是娥苏拉比较早期、非常具有代表性的科幻小说,同时获得星云奖和雨果奖的...
很棒的科幻小说,一书一世界,书中创造的背景很宏大,从一点切入的故事却很简单,但是相当动人,感觉文中描绘的情感在winter这个冰雪世界的映衬下显得格外深沉伟大;星球winter的种族,政体,文化,地理气候环境都可以拿来细细研究,简直就是架空世界的典范;另外文中由双性人构成的社会中自然也没有了性别歧视,俄狄浦斯情节,二十六天的生理周期也甩了佛洛伊德一个大嘴巴,将书中双性人种的设定以及其带来的社会文化方面的一系列变化和现实社会作对比可以引出不少有趣的想法
评分A noble science fiction/ethnography/memoir. So complex that the imperial overtone and universality overstretch are well couched. I had the good fortune of finishing it on the Gethenian Calendar (at the end of the first hour). The shift of narrative focus and voice is ethnographically brilliant (Kudos to Kroeber). Rare and stunningly woven!
评分经读得很
评分一半弃
评分Sci-fi 题材总是爱不起来啊...
