The Tombs of Atuan | |
In this second novel in the Earthsea series, Tenar is chosen as high priestess to the ancient and nameless Powers of the Earth, and everything is taken from her—home, family, possessions, even her name. She is now known only as Arha, the Eaten One, and guards the shadowy, labyrinthine Tombs of Atuan.
Then a wizard, Ged Sparrowhawk, comes to steal the Tombs’ greatest hidden treasure, the Ring of Erreth-Akbe. Tenar’s duty is to protect the Ring, but Ged possesses the light of magic and tales of a world that Tenar has never known. Will Tenar risk everything to escape from the darkness that has become her domain?

地海系列的第一本A Wizard of Earthsea真是好看啊，如夏日的凉风，而这一本就有点故弄玄虚了。
还有，我买时是48元啊，现在已经降到29了……
I've been reading Ursula Le Guin's works since 1970. Forty-five years later, I decided to go back and reread "The EarthSea Trilogy," only to find their are six EarthSea books and many others I have not read. I went to Amazon in search of a specific translation of the Tao Teh Ching, required for a class I am taking, and found a translation by Ursula Le Guin. I ordered all the EarthSea books AND her Tao translation, as well as my required reading. I was stunned to find that EarthSear is filled with Tao, that much of way I've chosen to live my life has been guided by the very philosophy that forms the foundation of much of her fantasy. Le Guin's commentaries at the end of the EarthSea novels, tells how she slipped characters of color into the book when we were passing constitutional amendments to allow AA to vote; strong women during an era we could not pass the Equal Rights Amendment, all so subtle and done with such craftsmanship, the reader enjoys the fantasy and misses the politics.Lightyears ahead of her times, she weaves a grand story of fantasy into a work that is relevant for all time. I highly recommend this book and all others I've read to date by this amazing author.
Ursula LeGuin is one of the best fantasy writers of all time for a reason. This is one of my personal favorite books. It's a bit more slow paced that a lot of contemporary fantasy. LeGuin's work tends to be more about the subtle, inner conflicts and personal growth of her characters than battling demons and evil sorcerers (though there's a little of that, too). I personally find it to be more fulfilling than the more "action packed" fantasy novels out there, but if you'r looking for a young man fighting dragons and saving some girl, you're not going to find it here. If you want a complex, thought provoking story about complex and dynamic characters, then it's worth a read. You may also want to check out the other books in this series.
There's something almost archetypal about this novel, and like other books in the series, it has a definite dreamlike quality to it. I found the imagery to be very powerful and very original. This is not your average sword and board fantasy by any means. Le Guin strikes me as a "top-down" writer, in that the philosophical and spiritual heart of the book is dead-on and clear of vision. However, the actual characters themselves are not the deepest, nor is the plot all that intriguing. That being said, her prose is extremely skilled and there is no doubt this is a canonical work of fantasy. You really just have to appreciate the story for what it is and not expect it to be like other books you've read.
