A Wizard of Earthsea
Overview & Summary
Ged, a young and immensely talented sorcerer, is sent to a school for wizards on the archipelago world of Earthsea, but his pride and rivalry with a fellow student lead him to accidentally unleash a nameless, shadowy evil that begins hunting him across the islands, forcing Ged on a journey to confront the darkness he unwittingly created -- and, ultimately, himself. Ursula K. Le Guin's novel is a foundational, philosophically rich work of fantasy literature.
