Publisher's summary

Le chef-d'œuvre d'Ursula Le Guin avec une traduction révisée. Lauréat du Prix Nébula en 1969 et du Prix Hugo en 1970.

Sur Gethen, planète glacée, il n'y a ni hommes ni femmes, seulement des êtres humains. Des hermaphrodites qui, dans certaines circonstances, adoptent les caractères de l'un ou l'autre sexe.

Genly Aï, un ambassadeur venu de la Terre, est chargé de rallier Gethen aux autres planètes déjà réunies sous les couleurs de l'Ekumen. Mais mille obstacles se dressent devant lui. La tâche sera rude. Parviendra-t-il à mener à bien sa mission ?

Very beautifully written and narrated.

You have to like long descriptive narratives. After getting on the wave and into the characters, I found there is a constant and deep poetic reward especially towards the end. Loved this book.
