Victor Hugo Kebbe reviewed A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin (The Earthsea Cycle, #1)
Review of 'A Wizard of Earthsea' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
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.
