	Tehanu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tehanu is set almost immediately after the conclusion of The Farthest Shore but was written many years later.
		A further theme in Tehanu is Ged's transition from a man of 'doing' and action, to a man of generally passive 'being'.
		Tenar, the heroine of The Tombs of Atuan, is a major character in Tehanu, as is Ged, the hero of A Wizard of Earthsea.

	Tehanu: The Last Book of Earthsea (Ursula Le Guin)
		In Tehanu she adopts a maltreated and scarred child called Therru and journeys to the side of the dying mage Ogion.
		In Tehanu the central battle is a defence of a farmhouse against three vagabonds.
		In Tehanu a happy ending is only achieved by a draco ex machina: since none of the protagonists, not even archmage-to-be Therru, can resort to violence, Kalessin must arrive in the nick of time to save them.

	Peiratikos » Archives » February Reading List
		I already knew who Tehanu was and some of her story from reading the sequels first, but I was amazed and delighted to read a book for children in which a character says, appropriately angered, that a child has been raped because sometimes children are raped.
		Tehanu has been able to bring about a role reversal of sorts, saving her mother from abuse by means of a fiery dragon long after Tenar had saved her from abuse and fire by accepting and loving even the “monstrous” parts of her.
		Tehanu can’t be just a wounded survivor because she isn’t just that, she’s this dragon thing too and that’s a separate issue.

	Amazon.com: Tehanu (The Earthsea Cycle, Book 4): Books: Ursula K. LeGuin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Tehanu is a heartbreaking farewell to a world that is passing, and is full of tantalizing hints of the new world to come.
		Stylistically, TEHANU is a much richer, complex, and substantive tale about abuse, men and women in age and youth, female empowerment, male disempowerment, and life's priorities.
		Tehanu is being described as what effectively amounts to "the worst piece of fiction ever written in all of time".

	The SF Site Featured Review: The Other Wind (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Tehanu continues Ged's story, and also Tenar's (from The Tombs of Atuan) -- a tying-up of loose ends long desired by fans of the series, but which Le Guin approached with a radically changed literary and political agenda.
		The thread, of course, is Tehanu, the burned and disfigured girl adopted by Tenar and Ged.
		In the novel Tehanu, it's revealed that she is the daughter of the dragon Kalessin, and that she has a significant destiny to fulfill.

	Review: Discovering the Earth in Earthsea: Ursula K. Le Guin's Tales from Earthsea, reviewed by Christopher Cobb
		To all outward appearances she is an ordinary woman of middle age, leading an ordinary life, except that she has a remarkable past and has now adopted a young girl who has been horribly burned and abused.
		Tehanu focuses very deliberately on the details of daily life that had been absent from the earlier narrative.
		Tenar's life in Tehanu is bounded by the island of Gont, but that is primarily a social novel: it turns on the relations between people.

	Flame Bait Discussion: The Other Wind
		Through Tehanu, the humans learn that the dragons are trying to claim their islands in retirbution for some similar theft from long ago, but no one remembers what that was.
		Tehanu, Alder, Irian, and several other characters decide that it really is best for the wall to come down, and so they go to the dry land (the dragons can manage fine without wizards) and tear the wall down brick by brick until the mass of spirits on the other side can cross into freedom.
		Tehanu ascends to her dragon form and remains flying on the other wind with Irian and the other dragons when everyone else goes back to the Archipelago.

	Special Circumstances: Tehanu: the last book of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin
		The Earthsea trilogy is that rare brand of fantasy trilogies that is truly engaging and in a new voice that does not mimic any of the traditional bell-wethers of fantasy literature, whether you consider John Milton, Lord Dunsany, J.R.R. Tolkien, or Mervyn Peake.
		As the story opens you learn that The Eaten One who renounced her faith in "The Tombs of Atuan" has left behind the study of high magic and the companionship of a powerful mage to lead a simple life as a farmer's wife.
		Danny's Reviews), I agree with his conclusion that Tehanu to a large extent abandons the Taoist bent of the original Earthsea book.

	Amazon.ca: Tehanu : The Earthsea Cycle: Books: Ursula K. LeGuin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		With 'Tehanu,' Ursula Le Guin makes the puzzling decision to extend the classic Earthsea trilogy into a quadrology (now since extended even further), crafting a book that is quite enjoyable, but wholly apart from the careful fabric of the original stories.
		The surprise publication of a fourth novel in 1990, TEHANU, generated expansive critical acclaim and represents Le Guin's courageous and brilliant feminist deconstruction of her own fantasy masterwork.
		'Tehanu' is the name of a star which Tenar, claiming the power of Naming hoarded by men throughout the earlier Earthsea novels, discovers to be also Therru's True Name.

	Fantasy Finder - U. K. Le Guin: Tehanu
		This is the story about the strange child, Therru, but also the story about a middle-aged woman who finally understands a little about men and women and magic and life, and about an ex-archmage who learns to live without the power he always had before.
		The Earthsea trilogy is one of the most read and most loved fantasy series of all time, and many thought she was soiling the earlier books with her late addition to the series.
		Whatever one's reaction to "Tehanu" is, it must be said that it's quite different from the original trilogy.

	CRITIQUE :: Tales from Earthsea
		Le Guin's way of exploring corners of Earthsea to which she had not previously given much attention, and of explaining the genesis of some of the most important concepts in her novels.
		Le Guin is more successful in Tales From Earthsea than in Tehanu, which often seemed strained in its attempt to offer a more feminist perspective on Earthsea and its engagement with the ills of modern society.
		Tehanu's greatest failing as a fantasy novel, all in all, may have been that most of the story felt like its setting was of little importance.

		In TEHANU, Ged and Tenar (the teenage priestess from the second novel) are reunited, but Ged is now powerless and Tenar has adopted an abused child, Tehanu.
		In TEHANU, Le Guin looks back on the civilization she created in the first three novels of the series and finds it frustrating and deeply flawed.
		In TEHANU, Le Guin seems to have discarded many of the themes and attitudes that dominated the first three novels.

		Also, probably in their relationship with Tehanu, but Tehanu's dragon-nature associates her with fire and air, not with water and earth and roots, and one must make a leap of faith to expect a human daughter to lead necessarily to deeper connections for her parents.
		Tehanu is the girl-gendered dragon-child of Segoy, the demiurge, so she can hold a lot of symbolic meanings.

		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.

		Tehanu is a very different story of adults and grief and the problems of common people who have no magical powers and what strengths they can have that those in power never need.

		Both 'The Farthest Shore' and 'Tehanu' were completely beyond me at that age.
		And the storylines are gripping - yes, often painful too, even heartrending, especially in TEHANU, but life is painful and there's little point pretending otherwise - and they take you on a journey to a world you can never forget, the world of Earthsea.

	Locus Online: Ursula K. Le Guin interview excerpts
		Her fantasy "Earthsea" series began with a trilogy, The Wizard of Earthsea, The Tombs of Atuan, and The Farthest Shore (1968-1972), followed 18 years later by Tehanu: The Last Book of Earthsea (1990), and then (despite that volume's subtitle) two more books this year: Tales of Earthsea and The Other Wind (forthcoming Sept. 2001).
		‘‘I thought Tehanu was the last book of ‘Earthsea.’ My two protagonists were well along in their 50s or so, and had already got married.
		Tehanu is obviously more than just an abused child, because the dragon treats her as daughter and she can speak dragon, the old language.

	Pah! David Golding’s weblog · Tehanu
		To have Tehanu turn out to be part dragon at the end seemed to confirm the view of others: Tehanu did contain some dangerous essential otherness that was recognised; and in the attempted destruction of that otherness, it was only revealed more.
		Or perhaps it was a quasi-feminist twist on the power fantasy of the village boy who becomes a powerful wizard.
		[Tehanu] is something the townspeople should fear, perhaps, but they fear her for the wrong reasons, like the way they feared the evil mage for being a mage without recognizing the wickedness of his powers.
