	Earthsea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Earthsea is a fictional realm created by Ursula K. Le Guin for her short story "The Word of Unbinding", published in 1964, but that became more famous in her novel A Wizard of Earthsea, first published in 1968.
		The world of Earthsea is one of sea and islands: a vast archipelago of hundreds of islands surrounded by uncharted ocean.
		Earthsea, with the exception of the Kargad lands, is a literate society using a writing system called the "Hardic runes"; the nature of the writing system is uncertain.

		It was adapted by Gavin Scott (The Mists of Avalon) from the Earthsea novels for executive producers Robert Halmi, Sr.

	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.

	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.

	Filmtracks: Earthsea (Jeff Rona)
		Earthsea: (Jeff Rona) Attempting to continue drawing on the massive popularity of recent television hits in the fantasy genre such as Children of Dune and The Mists of Avalon, Hallmark Entertainment and the Sci-Fi Channel bring Ursula K. Le Guin's world of Earthsea to the small screen.
		Known alternatively as The Legend of Earthsea, the magical, medieval fantasy universe created by Le Guin is comparable in its wizardry and sorcery to J.R.R. Tolkien's lengthier Lord of the Rings tales.
		The small vocal group has a distinctly African sound that you hear from the Adiemus albums, and despite being an intriguing and distinct sound in and of itself, that group of vocal performers is largely absent from the rest of the score.

	Ursula K. Le Guin, Tales from Earthsea
		Ursula Le Guin admits in the foreword to Tales From Earthsea that she once thought she was done chronicling that particular world.
		Her writing is as persuasive as always and has an extra crispness in these stories of Earthsea's past and sort-of present.
		Otter is just a shipbuilder's son with a little magic skill when he is kidnapped by the local warlord and made to help create mercury, which the warlord's mad wizard thinks holds the key to ultimate power.

	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.
		The format of the tale collection gives Le Guin the freedom to use the whole range of styles she has developed for tales of this world, but the value of the collection is not just in its variety.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Tales from Earthsea
		Ursula K. Le Guin was born in 1929, the daughter of a writer and an anthropologist.
		The Earthsea trilogy established her as a master of fantasy as well as science fiction.
		The collection spans the history of Earthsea, some of them shedding light on times where social conventions are quite different from those depicted in Le Guin's novels -- particularly gender roles in regard to the use of magic.

	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.
		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.
		Before the islands of Earthsea became civilized, it was populated by ancient creatures who spoke this language.

	SoundtrackNet : Earthsea Soundtrack
		While his approach to Earthsea is similar to Traffic: The Mini-series - even using some of the same soloists, such as cellist Martin Tillman - the end result is as different as the two television series.
		Rona's main theme for Earthsea is presented in the "Main Title" and it is used frequently throughout the score.
		What makes Earthsea a surprise as a fantasy score when compared to other such works like Trevor Jones' Merlin is the soloistic approach, more along the lines of more recent mini-series fantasy scores, such as Brian Tyler's Children of Dune or Richard Gibbs' Battlestar Galactica.

	Ursula K. Le Guin on the TV Earthsea. By Ursula K. Le Guin
		The books, A Wizard of Earthsea and The Tombs of Atuan, which were published more than 30 years ago, are about two young people finding out what their power, their freedom, and their responsibilities are.
		When I sold the rights to Earthsea a few years ago, my contract gave me the standard status of "consultant"—which means whatever the producers want it to mean, almost always little or nothing.
		All they intended was to use the name Earthsea, and some of the scenes from the books, in a generic McMagic movie with a meaningless plot based on sex and violence.

		Their fear of dying is so profound that they seek to open the door between the lands of the living and the dead and achieve immortality.
		Of course, on Earthsea, the realm of the dead is hidden, but it is accessible to Ged.

	Zap2it - TV features - Lessons to be Learned from 'Legend of Earthsea'
		Published between 1968 and 1972, the Earthsea trilogy -- "A Wizard of Earthsea," "The Tombs of Atuan" and "The Farthest Shore" (along with a fourth book "Tehanu: The Last Book of Earthsea") -- was originally intended for young adults but has become a worldwide favorite with all ages.
		Kreuk first became aware of "Earthsea" through her younger sister, a fan, and she knew Halmi's Hallmark Entertainment because she did a multicultural version of "Snow White" for the company.
		The way you envision Earthsea is just this chain of islands, which is outer Vancouver, the Gulf Islands.

	Ursula K. LeGuin, Tales from Earthsea (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Although often considered to be children's literature, I think that The Earthsea Cycle is a somewhat dark fantasy set in a world where really old gods and dragons lurk at the outskirts of civilization, and bad things happen to good folk.
		I think that this is the first time that a map of this kind has been provided by LeGuin, and she adds a map of 'The Inner Lands of The Archipelago' at the beginning of her introduction to this volume.
		She concludes this collection with an essay about Earthsea's history, people, literary works, magic, and languages, which is not as bleedin' detailed as the various Middle Earth histories, and is quite a bit more charming.

	Locus Online: Ursula K. LeGuin Earthsea Essay
		They were going to use the name Earthsea, and some of the scenes from the books, in a generic McMagic movie with a silly plot based on sex and violence.
		Case in point: In the "Earthsea" books the way magic works is quite specific, a matter of language and names; it has rules, which give it a necessary limitation; and the nature of this magic is one of the fundamental metaphors on which the story is built.
		In Earthsea, the Archipelagans are brown, copper-red, fl, the much less numerous Kargs are white-skinned with dark or fair hair.
