Ici, il y a des dragons. Il y a des enchanteurs, une mer immense et des îles. Ged, simple gardien de chèvres sur l'île de Gont, a le don. Il va devenir au terme d'une longue initiation, en traversant nombre d'épreuves redoutables, le plus grand sorcier de Terremer, l'Archimage. Ce volume réunit les trois premiers livres de Terremer, Le Sorcier de Terremer, Les Tombeaux d'Atuan et L'Ultime Rivage, dans une traduction soigneusement révisée et complétée par Patrick Dusoulier. Le cycle de Terremer a inspiré le splendide film d'animation de Goro Miyazaki, Les Contes de Terremer.

4 stars

Dass es nur wenige Dialoge gab, war schon etwas nervig, auch wenn es zu der Plotline der "Reise nach innen" passt, die in diesem Buch herrscht. Großartig fand ich die Umsetzung der "Shadow"Idee von C.G.Jung (wenn ich mich nicht irre :P) Ich mochte die Wandlung des Hauptcharakters sehr , seine Auseinandersetzung mit Macht und Korruption. Es haben Frauen gefehlt imBuch und auch hier und da gabs nervigen Realweltsexismus. Anderseits waren beinah alle negativen Frauenfiguren weiß, während die einzige positive weibliche Person die gegen Schluss auftauchte, ein dunkelhäutiges Schwarzes Mädchen war,und auch der Hauptcharakter ist Schwarz. Generell wurde "weiß" als Marker für barbarisch und unattraktiv benutzt, was angenehm war,grade für ein Buch von 1968. Aber ich mag v.a. auch das Handwerk . . Le Guin schreibt großartig und ich kann sie flüssig lesen, und ihre Worte ziehen mich ziemlich schnell in ihren Bann!

A classic with no immediate legacy, unfortunately, than Le Guin's own series. A pitch perfect exploration of power, ambition, and responsibility that should have had more of an impact than it ever did. The clear plotting, the sharp characterization, and an evocative world makes for one of the best fantasy novels ever.

A Wizard of Earthsea is one of the most important fantasy novels in the genre, right up there with Tolkien. Reading this book, finally, for the first time, I see how other novels have stood on its shoulders (most notably the Kingkiller Chronicles), and I am glad this book exists.

That being said, it is not a book for me; possibly, Ursula K. Le Guin is not an author for me. It reads like it was written by an anthropologist (in fact, I was certain she must be until I looked it up just now), which was fine during The Left Hand of Darkness, but dry and wearing during a fantasy adventure.

As with many books I'm just getting around to, I think to myself, "If only 10, 15, 20 years ago someone handed me this book."

I loved this novel. It was an excellent representation of what fantasy is, and it was well written to boot. After reading this book, I feel that I can look to Le Guin as a model of how to write fantasy novels. As someone who is trying to write her own novel, I enjoyed the book on an extra level, as it provided many examples for accomplishing certain aspects within a story. I loved the way she introduced Sparrowhawk, and how he was a pretty unlikeable character at first, and the way she transformed him into a sympathetic character. His character was fairly simple too--he had simple motivations, feelings, and reactions. She didn't overcomplicate him or her story, and in that way as well, it was a very refreshing read.

An amazing book, indeed. All that issues regarding the power of naming people, animals and things were just amazing, hiding a powerful message about the language and Linguistics. In a land where the real or true names are so precious, the "magic power" only can be the power of... naming the world around us, giving meaning to our surroundings from the moment we are born until we die! That's awesome, somehow and indirectly a beautiful homage to the Levi Strauss' Structuralism or, perhaps more important, a beautiful homage to the Language itself.

It's well known as a masterpiece of fantasy, but here are two things that aren't as well known.

1. Ged is black. Race was (and is) a big deal to Ursula K. Le Guin.

2. It's a great illustration of the principles of Taoism.

3. It's great as a standalone novel, but one of the best beginnings to a trilogy ever. (this is just my opinion)

I remember reading this book years and years ago and disliking it for whatever reason, even though Evan loved it and read the whole series. I wanted to give it another chance now because I was pretty sure I didn't give it a fair shake at the time, and I've been in the mood for period fantasy lately. Luckily, this was an excellent read, and I look forward to the next book in the series. Now I just need to re-read The Great Gatsby to undo the work of junior English class...
