	Bookreporter.com - A WIZARD OF EARTHSEA: (Earthsea Tetrology #1) by Ursula K. Le Guin
		I wasn't familiar with Ursula K. Le Guin or her Earthsea tetralogy, but I thought the cover illustration of a ship crossing the ocean was childlike and evocative.
		In A WIZARD OF EARTHSEA, Ged is an awkward, proud and impulsive young wizard who repeatedly uses his considerable powers recklessly.
		For fans of Star Wars, the wizards of Earthsea are like Jedi Knights and their power is very similar to "the Force." A limited number of men possess power (in varying degrees) and they must make sure that the equilibrium between light and dark is constantly maintained.

	Powell's Books - Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K Le Guin
		The magnificent saga begins with A Wizard of Earthsea, continues in The Tombs of Atuan and The Farthest Shore, and concludes with Tehanu — each book a treasure of wisdom, wonder, and literary wizardy.
		Ged was the greatest sorcerer in all Earthsea, but once he was called Sparrowhawk, a reckless youth, hungry for power and knowledge, who tampered with long-held secrets and loosed a terrible shadow upon the world.
		A Wizard of Earthsea was the first novel of fantasy literature introduced to me a the age of 12.

	Earthsea
		The original Trilogy was composed of A Wizard of Earthsea (1968), The Tombs of Atuan (1971), and The Farthest Shore (1972).
		Earthsea is a world of mostly water, with most of the land being composed of many small islands in an archipelago with each island largely governing itself.
		Earthsea also defined the concept of dragons for me. The dragons of Earthsea are wise, powerful, ancient, majestic and magical creatures who care little for the affairs of humans and others who live for such a short time.

		In the field of human-computer interaction, a Wizard of Oz experiment is a research experiment in which subjects interact with a computer system that subjects believe to be autonomous, but which is actually being operated or partially operated by an unseen human being.
		The missing system functionality that the wizard provides may be implemented in later versions of the system, but its precise details are generally considered irrevelant to the study.
		The name of the experiment comes from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz story, in which an ordinary man hides behind a curtain and pretends to be a powerful wizard.

	CRITIQUE :: Tales from Earthsea
		The first three Earthsea books, A Wizard of Earthsea, The Tombs of Atuan and The Farthest Shore, were published in the 1960's and 70's, and were one of the finest fantasy trilogies of the twentieth century.
		Earthsea is an immense archipelago of small and large islands, with most of the trappings of standard fantasy: magic, lonely towers, kings, wizards, and dragons.
		Le Guin shows that Earthsea's institutions are not infallible institutions, but rather, that they are made up of changeable individuals who are prone to error; presumably, she is also commenting on the institutions of our own world.

	John & Belle Have A Blog: The Wizard of...Albion?
		Race wasn't a central focus of Earthsea, but Le Guin was one of the first fantasy writers to recognize the multicultural nature of her audience and to deliberately write a world in which "minorities" didn't appear solely as either savages, villains or bit-players.
		Perhaps an Earthsea published at another time would be less a big deal, but being what is and when it was published, I can see people being rightfully furious about this; it's not "Starbuck is a man!" or anything like that; it's a legitimate gripe about changing the message and image of a text.
		In 'Wizard of Earthsea' he's the hero's friend, but he's continually in awe of Ged, who's a far better magician, and of Jasper, who's also far better (and far whiter).

	Ursula LeGuin - A Wizard of Earthsea
		A Wizard of Earthsea is the story of the making of a mage, the education and testing of a young man born with the power to work wonders but lacking the knowledge to bring this power to fruition and to control its destructive potential.
		The theme of “Equilibrium”: A Wizard of Earthsea was written during the 1960s, when an increased awareness of ecological issues and the fragility of the balance of nature was beginning to emerge.
		His first job as a wizard further teaches him the limits of power (e.g., he is unable to save Pechevarry’s son, although he wants to very much, and for all the right reasons) and the way to behave, to focus on the job at hand.

	Review: Discovering the Earth in Earthsea: Ursula K. Le Guin's Tales from Earthsea, reviewed by Christopher Cobb
		So the world of Earthsea has proven for Ursula K. Le Guin, who has added once again to her writings set in the world of Earthsea with the story collection Tales from Earthsea, published this month by Harcourt.
		In the time of the kings, mages gathered in the court of Enlad and later in the court of Havnor to counsel the king and take counsel together, using their arts to pursue goals they agreed were good.
		But in the dark years, wizards sold their skills to the highest bidder, pitting their powers one against the other in duels and combats of sorcery, careless of the evils they did, or worse than careless.

	The Earthsea Trilogy (Ursula Le Guin) - book review
		In A Wizard of Earthsea young goatherd Ged discovers his talent for magic and is sent to the school for wizards on the island of Roke, at the centre of the world.
		She has dug selectively and worked her material wisely, making something genuinely original — and if parts of her work seem exposed thirty years on, that is only because later writers have carried out indiscriminate open-cut mining in the area.
		A Wizard of Earthsea is about a young man's coming of age, in which he attends an all-male school for wizards, and much of it is set at sea; The Tombs of Atuan is a young woman's coming of age in an all-female temple complex, and much of it happens underground.

	Classic of the month: A Wizard of Earthsea \| Special Reports \| Guardian Unlimited Books
		Long before Harry Potter came along, Ursula Le Guin's A Wizard of Earthsea imagined what a school for wizards would be like.
		At wizard school, he makes one friend and one enemy, and in a duel summons a monster that scars him and sends him on a deadly quest across the lonely seas full of peril.
		With the moral, intellectual and supernatural power to outwit dragons, resist evil, change weather and transform himself into a hawk, he is apparently defenceless against an enemy who increasingly takes on his appearance to trick or kill him.

		He is then brought to study with a mage (a full wizard), but he is impatient, and in the course of trying to learn more than he should, learns about the dark side of magic.
		One of those he meets is the dragon Orm Ebbar, and by understanding the vague speeches of the dragon, Ged is given two things: clues to defeating the evil that he seeks, and information on finding the other half of the ring of Erreth-Akbe, since he has unknowingly found one half on his journey.
		At the end of A Wizard of Earthsea, I can virtually guarantee you will be looking for the next book in the Cycle to continue reading about what happens to Ged and the world of Earthsea.

		I've been a fan of A Wizard of Earthsea since I first read it in 1968, when it came out.
		The SCI FI Channel actually brought it to me and I was thrilled, because I've always wanted to adapt [the] Earthsea [books] and now was the time to do it.
		Originally we started pre-production with the concept that this miniseries would be based on the first three books, as an "Earthsea Trilogy." By focusing on the first two books in the series, we can both introduce a great story and leave audiences wanting more.

		The Wizard of Earthsea is about a young boy growing up to be a powerful wizard.
		The wizard Ged's adventures are stories in themselves, so the plot changes frequently and doesn't get bogged down in one area or theme.
		The Wizard of Earthsea is a lot like a Lord of The Rings but it is shorter and has fewer characters.
