I searched a long time before I found writing about Le Guin Reading a book structured like this is a delight because Cummins has tied in themes and concerns of Le Guin's work with her fictional settings.It reads like a detailed and complex unofficial Ursula Le Guin handbook, with many references to the tao te ching and other philosophical pre-occupations, but is easy to read and simply ~*fascinating*~. ...

Editorial Review Product Description With quiet linguistic humor (Dovza citizens are passionate about their hot bitter beverage, akakafi--the ubiquitous Corporation brand is called Starbrew), dark references to the dangers of restricted cultural, political, and social freedom, and beautifully visualized worlds, award-winning author Ursula K. Le Guin pens her latest in the Hainish cycle, which includes The Dispossessed and The Left Hand of Darkness. Le Guin explores her characters and societies with such care, such thoughtfulness, her novels call out for slow, deep attention. --Emilie Coulter Customer Reviews (52)
Saying exactly as she means
Le Guin's lyrical depiction of an "incoherent, fragmented" society
an exploration of censorship and oppression
I'm Not Sure What To Think

Truly Delightful Story of Family Love
Very memorable and inspiring!
One of the best children's books ever
Superb! I bought it for my daughter when she was five. At the age of twelve it is still a favorite of hers, and for me as well. Since Le Guin has used techniques from oral traditions, it is simply wonderful to read aloud. I think this is an example of a perfectly written short story. Everything in the story has a purpose. Not a word can be taken away without detracting from the story, and any additions would be superfluous. This is one of the fewbooks that will not be traded in or given to a library.
Magic! Trolls! A Wonderous Horse! and family love... |

Editorial Review Product Description If you have never read an Earthsea book, this collection isn't the place tostart, as the author points out in her thoughtful foreword; begin with AWizard of Earthsea. If you insist on starting with Tales ofEarthsea, read the foreword and the appended "Description of Earthsea"before proceeding to the five stories (three of which are original to thisbook). The opening story, "The Finder," occupies a third of the volume and hasthe strength and insight of a novel. This novella describes the youth ofOtter, a powerful but half-trained sorcerer, and reveals how Otter came toan isle that cannot be found, and played a role in the founding of thegreat Roke School. "Darkrose and Diamond" tells of two lovers who wouldturn their backs on magic. In "The Bones of the Earth," an aging wizard andhis distant pupil must somehow join forces to oppose an earthquake. Ged,the Archmage of Earthsea, appears in "On the High Marsh" to find the mad anddangerous mage he had driven from Roke Island. And in "Dragonfly," theclosing story, a mysterious woman comes to the Roke School to challenge therule that only men may be mages. "Dragonfly" takes place a few years afterTehanu and is the bridge between that novel and the next novel, The Other Wind (fall 2001). --Cynthia Ward Customer Reviews (52)
A must-read for the Earthsea fan!
Worth it for one

Another wonderful book from Ursala LeGuin
Another excellent collection from a master storyteller
Excellent collection of short stories
The Wind's Twelve Quarters by Ursula K. Le Guin Ursula is a cut above the rest in terms of intellectual involvement, poses moral and spiritual questions, always tells a ripping good yarn. Fans of The Dispossessed will be entranced by the story of Odo - founder of the Odonian movement which led to settling of the moon Anarres by the anarchists.
Simply fascinating ! To go back to the stories in "The Wind's Twelve Quarters" - what I find so fascinating is the wide range of stories that are included: from the delightful dargon-and-sorcery fantasy of "The Word of Unbinding" and "The Rule of Names" (the only comparably charming dragons I can think of appear in some of the fables of Orson Scott Card) to the melancholic, existential "Things" and "The stars below" (where an astronomer whose observatory has been burnt down by a mob, ends up living in a mine where the sparkle of the minerals become "the stars below" for him). Many of the stories really make you think about deep social and ethical issues. And then there are the stories which can be just enjoyed for the sheer joy of reading them, like the dragon stories and the time-travel romance, "April in Paris". All in all, a must-read for any thinking person! ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description The sorcerer Alder has the power of mending, but it may have become the power of destruction: every night he dreams of the wall between the land of the living and the land of the dead, and the wall is being dismantled. If the wall is breached, the dead will invade Earthsea. Ged, once Archmage of Earthsea, sends Alder to King Lebannen. Now Alder and the king must join with a burned woman, a wizard of forbidden lore, and a being who is woman and dragon both, in an impossible quest to save Earthsea. Ursula K. Le Guin has received the National Book Award, five Nebula and five Hugo Awards, and the Newbery Award, among many other honors. The Other Wind lives up to expectations for one of the greatest fantasy cycles. --Cynthia Ward Customer Reviews (65)
