The Earthsea Cycle
Book • 1968
The Earthsea Cycle, written by Ursula K. Le Guin, is a series of high fantasy novels that take place in the fictional archipelago of Earthsea.
The series begins with 'A Wizard of Earthsea', 'The Tombs of Atuan', and 'The Farthest Shore', often referred to as the 'original trilogy'.
These books introduce readers to a world where magic is an integral part of life, with a focus on the balance and equilibrium of the natural order.
The series follows characters such as Ged, a young wizard, and Tenar, a priestess, as they navigate their roles and confront the darkness and evil within their world.
Later books in the series include 'Tehanu', 'Tales from Earthsea', and 'The Other Wind', which continue to explore the themes of identity, power, and the interconnectedness of the Earthsea world.
The series is known for its diverse characters, pre-industrial setting, and critique of traditional fantasy tropes.
