A science fiction novella written during the mid-20th century. The story explores themes of colonization and morality as families leave Earth to settle on a new planet, Centifor, which possesses both a paradisiacal side and a harsh, inhospitable terrain—thus embodying the duality of its title. The narrative examines the hopes and challenges faced by the colonists as they navigate their new lives and confront unexpected conflicts.
