The Left Hand of Darkness
Macro Mondays theme -- My favourite novel
The Left Hand of Darkness, a sci-fi novel published in 1969, was written by Ursula K. LeGuin. The title comes from a verse recited by one of the characters from the religious writings of his culture. "Light is the left hand of darkness and darkness the right hand of light." The novel very much explores the concept of duality, yin and yang, and of how two opposites need not be counter to each other but ought to be seen as complementary.
