The Farthest Shore (The Earthsea Cycle, Book 3) - K. Le Guin, 75 Pages
- Darkness threatens to overtake Earthsea: the world and its wizards are losing their magic. Despite being wearied with age, Ged Sparrowhawk -- Archmage, wizard, and dragonlord -- embarks on a daring, treacherous journey, accompanied by Enlad's young Prince Arren, to discover the reasons behind this devastating pattern of loss. Together they will sail to the farthest reaches of their world -- even beyond the realm of death -- as they seek to restore magic to a land desperately thirsty for it. With millions of copies sold worldwide, Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea Cycle has earned a treasured place on the shelves of fantasy lovers everywhere, alongside the works of such beloved authors as J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis.- Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea cycle has become one of the best-loved fantasies of our time. The windswept world of Earthsea is one of the greatest creations in all fantasy literature, frequently compared with J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth or C.S. Lewis' Narnia. The magnificent saga begins with A Wizard Of Earthsea, continues in The Tombs Of Atuan and The Farthest Shore, and concludes with Tehanu --each book a treasure of wisdom, wonder, and literary wizardry. The magic had gone out of the world. All over Earthsea the mages had forgotten their spells, the springs of wizardry were running dry. Ged, Dragonlord and Archmage, set out with Arren, a highborn young prince, to seek the source of the darkness. This is the tale of their harrowing journey beyond the shores of death to heal a wounded land. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
- I first read the Earthsea Trilogy at the age of 9. I re-read it at secondary school at 17, during a moody teenager phase. Now I read it to children to whom I teach English. I am struck every time by how many different layers of meaning dwell in le Guin's text. I think the technical word is polysemic. It appeals to children, teenagers and adults by offering something to each, though ultimately offering the same to all: drama, adventure, and a fearless assault on the big issues that confront every one of us. Birth, life, death. And always in original, often startling or beautiful ways. Le Guin's use of language is sublime too; she has an absolute mastery of how long a sentence should be, what the words in it should sound like and what 'rhythm' a sentence should have. Moving explorations of life's great questions, investigated with originality and sophistication, harnessed to a dramatic adventure story, conjuring up grand vistas of new and thrilling worlds, created through a command of language and imagery as fine as any I have ever come across and made alive through characters that a child can warm to and an adult love. What a book.
- This is one of the best fantasy trilogies out there because it is one of the most unique. It is often compared to Tolkien's Lord of the Rings but I find it hard to compare them because they are so different. Lord of the Rings is one very long story of a quest filled with battles and monsters while Earthsea is made up of three very seperate stories centering around the adventures of one character. Lord of the Rings is a straight-forward story that can be taken as just a good story if you don't want to ruin the fun with a bunch of thematic analyzation, although you can find heaps of stuff to analyze if you want. In Earthsea you cannot avoid the philosophies that LeGuin is trying to convey. But that does not get in the way of the stories. A Wizard of Earthsea is the first and best in my opinion, it has the most fascinating storyline and the most satisfying and beautifully realized conclusion when Ged finally confronts the creature he unleashed upon Earthsea. The Tombs of Atuan is the least of the three but still entertaining. The Farthest Shore is filled with scenes of Ged teaching Arren of the philosophy of balance and the power that fear has over people which are themes as relevent to our world as they are to Earthsea. Towards the end it is filled with dragons. Earthsea's dragons are the most interesting dragons I've read about in fantasy, not really good, but not really bad either although very wise. All three books are filled with vivid and beautiful atomosphere, and in all books it is love and courage that deafeat the evil forces of hate and fear. This is fantasy that is guaranteed to make you think.
