书籍简介

牧童雀鹰天生拥有法力，他渴求更强大的力量和更深奥的知识，于是选择离开故乡，前往传奇的巫师学院学习，以求出人头地。为了证明实力，他当众施展禁忌法s，召唤亡灵，却铸成大错。他召唤出的恶灵追捕着他，太古的邪恶诱惑着他。为了弥补过错，他步上了一段从未有人完成的追寻之旅，直到海洋的尽头、世界终结之处……

An exciting re-launch of the classic Earthsea Cycle, by fantasy literature legend Ursula K. Le Guin, winner of a Newbery Honor, the National Book Award, Pushcart Prize, and six Nebula Awards.

Originally published in 1968, Ursula K. Le Guin’s A Wizard of Earthsea marks the first of the six now beloved Earthsea titles. Ged was the greatest sorcerer in Earthsea, but in his youth he was the reckless Sparrowhawk. In his hunger for power and knowledge, he tampered with long-held secrets and loosed a terrible shadow upon the world. This is the tumultuous tale of his testing, how he mastered the mighty words of power, tamed an ancient dragon, and crossed death's threshold to restore the balance.

作者简介

厄休拉·勒古恩（Ursula Kroeber Le Guin，1929年10月21日－2018年1月22日），美国科幻、奇幻与女性主义与青少年儿童文学作家。著有小说20余部，以及诗集、散文集、游记、文学评论与多本童书。并与人合译老子《道德经》。所获文学奖与荣誉不计其数。她深受老子与人类学影响，作品常蕴含道家思想，写作手法流露民族志风格。

《地海》系列常与J·R·R·托尔金之《魔戒三部曲》或C·S·路易斯之《纳尼亚年代记》相提并论。

勒吉恩的小说有特色的是她对社会学与人类学的关怀。在勒吉恩的科幻作品中，她经常架空出一个相当真实但又与地球不相似的世界，与相当人性化的族群，并以这些完全迥异于地球的文化流畅地带出她的主题。

作者长于描写和议论，尤其善于心理描写，笔法深沉、大气、隽永、耐人回味。相信多读几遍，读者会对世界和人生有了新的思考。
