The Birthday of the World: And Other Stories Harpercollins 2002 First Edition Fine Fine Hard Cover The first six tales in this volume are set in the author's signature world of the Ekumen, ''my pseudocoherent universe with holes in the elbows,'' as Le Guin describes it - a world made familiar in her award-winning novel The Left Hand of Darkness.

The final offering in the collection, Paradises Lost, is a mesmerizing novella of space exploration and the pursuit of happiness.

Le Guin, Ursula K. The Left Hand of Darkness Ace Books 2000 New Trade Paperback When the human ambassador Genly Ai is sent to Gethen, the planet known as Winter by those outsiders who have experienced its arctic climate, he thinks that his mission will be a standard one of making peace between warring factions. Instead the ambassador finds himself wildly unprepared. For Gethen is inhabited by a society with a rich, ancient culture full of strange beauty and deadly intrigue - a society of people who are both male and female in one, and neither. This lack of fixed gender, and the resulting lack of gender-based discrimination, is the very cornerstone of Gethen life. But Genly is all too human. Unless he can overcome his ingrained prejudices about the significance of ''male'' and ''female,'' he may destroy both his mission and himself. Book is new and unread; has a few pen spots on front cover, and remainder mark (black line) on bottom edge of text. Price: 7.95 USD
