Earthsea: The First Four Books

Description

Rebel Voices- Disruptive Stories from Trailblazing Women - a new Puffin Classics collection, celebrating International Women's Day 2023 'One of the literary greats of the 20th century' - Margaret Atwood Earthsea- The First Four Books is a collection of one of the most beloved and influential fantasy works of all time. The series follows two main characters- Ged, who grows from an arrogant boy to one of the most powerful mages Earthsea has ever known; and Tenar, who escapes her fate as a child-priestess, and must fight for a life of her own. Filled with soaring, dangerous and beautifully-spun magic; evocative, sweeping settings; and extraordinarily vivid, emotionally complex characters, once read, the Earthsea series will never be forgotten.
