Coming to this trilogy after reading LeGuin's "The Dispossesed" and "The Left Hand of Darkness" is probably not the right way to do it. I had also read her other early novels: Rocannon's World; Planet of Exile and City of Illusions, and Earthsea is definitely along those lines: poetic, dramatic sci-fi but without the allure of her 'smart' sci-fi works that deal with larger issues of identity and politics. You can certainly see where other authors (like Patrick Rothfuss' Kingkiller Chronicles) have stolen some ideas, since the mage at the heart of the story is quintessential-wise-young man material. All in all, it's enjoyable, and it certainly would have lingered more in my mind if I had read it at an earlier age or before reading better crafted fantasy and sci-fi (even by LeGuin herself). It doesn't disappoint, but it should be a 'starter' book for a fantasy fan, since it loses in comparison to newer, better plotted books. These books are AWESOME!!!! You should read them if you are interested in practicing magic, ritual, or meditation because they illustrate why it's important to deal with your own sh*t if you're going to go exploring "inner space," and what happens if you don't. Serves as a good warning to those just starting out on their path of spiritual soul-searching, of the harm that ego, selfishness, and hubris (that fatal flaw the old Greek tragedies warned against) can do to a seeker and those near and dear to her. The first book, "A Wizard of Earthsea" was on my first coven's reading list, and I learned a great deal from it. I now own a hardcover copy of the book, and I'm never letting go of it! That was my introduction to the "Earthsea" trilogy. LeGuin wrote several more stories beyond the original trilogy, including "The Other Wind" and "Tales from Earthsea." Back in the mid-80s when Harry Potter wasn’t even a twinkle in JK’s eye, A Wizard of Earthsea won my heart as a magical coming of age story. I had some reservations about revisiting this series: I shouldn't have. This is gloriously written, richly imagined and deeply thoughtful. And oh, my poor aching heart - one of the poignant joys of Earthsea is how much more moving it is to read as an adult.

Ici, il y a des dragons. Et là où il y a des dragons, il y a des enchanteurs, une mer immense et des îles. Mais le monde de Terremer n’est pas un univers conventionnel de fantasy. Il n’appartient ni à notre passé ni à notre avenir. Il est ailleurs. C’est un univers où la magie fonctionne et s’enseigne comme la science et la technologie dans le nôtre. Terremer contient trois livres : Le Sorcier de Terremer raconte l’initiation de Ged en l’île de Roke et comment il devient un sorcier convenable capable de commander aux éléments et d’affronter les dragons, et aussi comment son audace faillit le perdre. Les Tombeaux d’Atuan évoquent la terrible histoire de la petite fille, Tenar, choisie pour devenir la Grande Prêtresse des Tombeaux, qui haïra Ged et finira par combattre avec lui l’emprise des Innommables. Et enfin L’Ultime rivage, où le pouvoir des sorciers sera soumis à celui du temps, le grand rongeur. [Source : 4e de couv.] Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I got Book 1 from a free library at work and enjoyed it enough that I wanted to finish the series. I got this book -- with all 3 books in it -- from the local public library. It took me a long time to read but that wasn't the fault of the book, just my not making time to read.
I am so glad I kept at it and eventually did finish it because it was so worth it! Each book was so good.
I would describe the series as a younger version of The Lord of the Rings and an older version of Harry Potter -- if you enjoyed either of those series, you'll enjoy this one.
