The Books of Earthsea
Auteur : Ursula K. Le Guin
Ursula K. Le Guin’s Earthsea novels are some of the most acclaimed and awarded works in literature—they have received prestigious accolades commemorating their enduring place in the hearts and minds of readers and the literary world alike.
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the timeless and beloved A Wizard of Earthsea that “reads like the retelling of a tale first told centuries ago” (David Mitchell)—this omnibus edition encompasses the entire Earthsea chronicles, including the early short stories, Le Guin’s “Earthsea Revisioned” Oxford lecture, and a new Earthsea story, never before printed.
With a new introduction by Le Guin herself, this essential edition also includes fifty illustrations by renowned artist Charles Vess, specially commissioned and selected by Le Guin, to bring her refined vision of Earthsea and its people to life in a new way.
The Books of Earthsea was published in 2018 by Saga Press.

Creative Alternative Cover Art: Reimagining Sci-Fi and Fantasy Classics
Hey fellow spacefarers! 🚀 I’ve been having some fun with AI creating some alternative cover art for a few classics. What do you think of the results ?
I also asked for one-liners for each of these books… but I completely forgot which goes with which—silly me! 😝
- “A gripping, dystopian thrill ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Unputdownable!” – nery
- “A soaring blend of science fiction and fantasy that captures the imagination from the first page.” – dero
- “A masterful blend of history, science fiction, and heart-wrenching human drama. Unforgettable.” – ands
- “A complex, compelling narrative of power, survival, and humanity’s place among the stars.” – skil
Can you help me match each cover with its review? 🙈

Best Sci-Fi & Fantasy Maps: Charting the Uncharted
Greetings, fellow explorers of the unknown! 🌍 Today I’m taking you on a journey through one of the most beautiful, intricate, and downright magical map from the worlds of sci-fi and fantasy : Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin.
This map transported me through Ged’s journeys, from Gont to the island of Roke to perfect his education, and Tenar’s adventures on the mysterious island of Atuan. I imagined living in this fascinating world, perhaps on a small island near Selidor, where dragons 🐉 reign supreme, or maybe on Lorbanery 🏝️, running a silk trade. A dream, right?
