An angry, headstrong youth, whose magical power could rival
that of the greatest wizards....
A beautiful young priestess, introduced to evil....
A warrior king who wields words and weapons with equal force....
All on a world of islands and incantations, mystics and maidens, prophesies and
power. All on a world called EARTHSEA.
Adapted from the award-winning Earthsea novels by Ursula
K. Le Guin, this epic fantasy follows the tale of a reckless youth
destined to become the greatest sorcerer that the mystical world of Earthsea has
ever known. When the difficult and rebellious Ged discovers the extent of his
magical powers, he seeks to master the ancient arts — and his own impulses as
well. As he journeys to manhood, he will combat dragons, fall in love, cross
death's threshold and ultimately wield the power to reunite a planet.
Frequently
mentioned in the company of J.R.R. Tolkien's
Middle Earth and C.S. Lewis's Narnia, Earthsea
is thought to be one of the great fantasy
creations. Le Guin, beloved by readers of
all ages, has received accolades including five
Hugo Awards, five Nebula Awards and the National
Book Award. The Earthsea books have been
translated into 16 languages, with millions of
copies in print.
