Le Guin, Ursula K. - The Left Hand of Darkness (Published in by The Folio Society in 2018. Bound in printed and blocked cloth. Set in Poliphilus. 288 pages. Integrated title double-page spread and 14 black & white integrated illustrations. Printed endpapers. Printed slipcase with spot UV varnish. 9.5" x 6.25". The first illustrated edition of Ursula K. Le Guin's masterpiece, The Left Hand of Darkness. The Folio Society edition also includes an introduction by Becky Chambers and exquisite illustrations by David Lupton. Described by Margaret Atwood as 'one of the literary greats' and by Stephen King as 'a literary icon', Ursula K. Le Guin stands as a colossus in the field of speculative fiction. The Left Hand of Darkness won multiple awards, including the Hugo for best novel, making Le Guin the first woman to win it; appropriate indeed, given that her extraordinary novel of betrayal, loyalty, love and survival was to change the conversation about gender for ever. In her introduction, novelist Becky Chambers – herself nominated for both the Clarke Award and the Hugo – calls the book 'a titan', one that gave rise to new perspectives on what fiction could be. )
