Beschrijving

In an enchanting collection, the celebrated Earthsea Cycle comes to life through a beautifully illustrated edition, marking the 50th anniversary of its inception. Ursula K. Le Guin's rich storytelling captivates readers as they journey through the vivid landscapes and intricate lore of Earthsea, a realm where magic is intertwined with the very fabric of existence.

This complete edition presents not only the renowned narratives of wizards, dragons, and the delicate balance between light and darkness but also features stunning illustrations that breathe new life into the characters and settings. Each page is a visual delight, complementing Le Guin's profound themes of identity, growth, and the responsibility that comes with power.

As Geroge, the protagonist, navigates his path toward wisdom, readers are invited to reflect on their own journeys, making this collection resonate deeply across generations. The harmonious blend of art and prose captures the essence of Earthsea, ensuring that both newcomers and longtime fans can appreciate its magic anew.

Le Guin’s Earthsea remains a cornerstone of fantasy literature, and this illustrated edition stands as a testament to the timeless nature of her storytelling. It opens the door for both nostalgia and fresh discoveries, beckoning readers to explore the depths of human experience set against the backdrop of a mesmerizing world.

Recensies

Read: 2002-2003Originally read Wizard of Earthsea in 8th grade for English class and stumbled across the subsequent three books the following summer at my local library and devoured them.Reread: 6/11/2022Internal struggles and external conflict that reflect those struggles. Profound, thought-provoking themes and discussion. Fantasy setting that, especially at the time of the publication of the first book, challenged fantasy literature. The writing of the first books tends to tell rather than show which left me feeling more distant from the characters, but as the series and the author's writing progressed, I was drawn in more and more to the characters and their stories. I've always loved the archipelago setting of Earthsea as well as the magic system and the lore/history and this collection and reread confirmed that. If you are a fan of fantasy and have not read Earthsea then you do yourself a disservice.
