One of the Time 100 Best Fantasy Books Of All Time
WINNER OF THE HUGO AND LOCUS AWARDS FOR BEST ART BOOK
**Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the timeless and beloved A Wizard
of Earthsea that "reads like the retelling of a tale first told
centuries ago" (David Mitchell)--this complete omnibus edition of the
entire Earthsea chronicles, including over fifty illustrations
illuminating Le Guin's vision of her classic saga by ** Hugo and Locus
Award-winning artist, Charles Vess.
Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea novels are some of the most acclaimed and
awarded works in literature--they have received prestigious accolades
such as the National Book Award, a Newbery Honor, the Nebula Award, and
many more honors, commemorating their enduring place in the hearts and
minds of readers and the literary world alike.
Now for the first time ever, they're all together in one
volume--including the early short stories, Le Guin's "Earthsea
Revisioned" Oxford lecture, and a new Earthsea story, never before
printed.
With a new introduction by Le Guin herself, this essential edition will
also include fifty illustrations by renowned artist Charles Vess,
specially commissioned and selected by Le Guin, to bring her refined
vision of Earthsea and its people to life in a totally new way.
[Stories include: "A Wizard of Earthsea", "The Tombs of Atuan", "The
Farthest Shore", "Tehanu", "Tales From Earthsea", "The Other Wind", "The
Rule of Names", "The Word of Unbinding", "The Daughter of Odren", and
"Earthsea Revisioned: A Lecture at Oxford University".]
With stories as perennial and universally beloved as The Chronicles of
Narnia and The Lord of The Rings--but also unlike anything but
themselves--this edition is perfect for those new to the world of
Earthsea, as well as those who are well-acquainted with its enchanting
magic: to know Earthsea is to love it.
