Earthsea Books. Complete illustrated edition
49.99 €
For the first time, the complete collection of Earthsea stories are published in one illustrated volume.
This sumptuous single volume is published to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of The Wizard of Earthsea; it includes all the Earthsea novels and stories written by Ursula Le Guin. The collection is fully illustrated, with over fifty color and black-and-white illustrations by World Fantasy Award-winning artist Charles Wess. This is truly Le Guin's final and definitive word on Earthsea. In the collection you will find:
- both of the first two Earthsea stories, "The Rule of Names" and "The Liberating Spell";
- all six Earthsea novels: "The Wizard of Earthsea", "The Tombs of Atuan", "On the Last Shore", "Tehanu", "Tales of Earthsea", "On Other Winds";
- Le Guin's last bittersweet tale of Gede and Tenar, "The Light of Home";
- the last never-before-published story, "Audren's Daughter,"
- the writer's 1992 Oxford lecture "Earthsea, Revised and Revised";
- Ursula Le Guin's foreword, where she introduces Earthsea to new readers and welcomes those who return to these magical islands again and again.
The stories about Zemnomorie were every time enthusiastically evaluated by critics and readers and perceived as another triumphant victory of the writer in literature. The novel The Tombs of Atuan won the Newbery Medal; On the Last Shore won the National Book Award; Tehanu won the Nebula Award; and On Other Winds won the World Fantasy Award.
