Ursula K. Le Guin published twenty-two novels, eleven volumes of short stories, four collections of essays, twelve books for children, six volumes of poetry and four of translation, and has received many awards: Hugo, Nebula, National Book Award, PEN-Malamud, etc. Her recent publications include the novel Lavinia, an essay collection, Cheek by Jowl, and The Wild Girls. She lived in Portland, Oregon.
She was known for her treatment of gender (The Left Hand of Darkness, The Matter of Seggri), political systems (The Telling, The Dispossessed) and difference/otherness in any other form. Her interest in non-Western philosophies was reflected in works such as "Solitude" and The Telling but even more interesting are her imagined societies, often mixing traits extracted from her profound knowledge of anthropology acquired from growing up with her father, the famous anthropologist, Alfred Kroeber. The Hainish Cycle reflects the anthropologist's experience of immersing themselves in new strange cultures since most of their main characters and narrators (Le Guin favoured the first-person narration) are envoys from a humanitarian organization, the Ekumen, sent to investigate or ally themselves with the people of a different world and learn their ways.
The first book of "Earthsea" is a tale of wizards, dragons and terrifying shadows. The island of Gont is a land famous for wizards. Of these, some say the greatest - and surely the greatest voyager - is the man called Sparrowhawk. As a reckless, awkward boy, he discovered the great power that was in him - with terrifying consequences. Tempted by pride to try spells beyond his means, Sparrowhawk lets loose an evil shadow-beast in his land. Only he can destroy it, and the quest leads him to the farthest corner of Earthsea.

“Only in silence the word, only in dark the light, only in dying life: bright the hawk’s flight on the empty sky.” 《地海巫師》是一部披著奇幻皮的男性成長小說,讓人想到《魔戒》,《哈利波特》和《永遠講不完的故事》,但又如此不同。它特彆的地方在於齣自一位女...
評分I·巫師 地海係列的基調,是鼕日大海的陰冷與苦澀。從傑德幼年的受傷開始,我們看到時光之手如何慢慢將他治愈。而藥渣留在瞭記憶中,所以連空氣都是苦的。 一開始,我以為勒奎恩想探究的是一個人要犯多少錯誤纔能成長,然後發現這是一個關於如何對抗恐懼的故事,到最後頓悟兩...
評分看慣瞭高魔的奇幻世界,因為那種類似科技效果的高魔世界,削弱瞭魔法的神秘,再加上網絡遊戲的泛濫,使得高魔的奇幻小說往往讓讀者産生審美疲勞。而像《冰與火之歌》(至少是前三捲)那樣魔法低得如同中世紀的傳說,又會使得讀者的閱讀欲望下降(文筆好如《冰與火之歌》,也讓...
評分書名取自十九至二十世紀之交英國詩人A.E.Housman的詩集A Shropshire Lad。Shropshire地處英國中西部,朝嚮大西洋,是英國人口最稀疏,最有原始氣息的郡——也是達爾文的故鄉。 那個時代,那個地方。一戰前的英國,最自信,最樂觀的時代;工業革命帶來的豐盛,孕育齣畢生不用勞...
評分《地海傳奇》是我見過的格局最小的奇幻故事。整個地海像是裝在一個雪花球裏,伶仃獨處具體而微。為瞭在這小小的世界中造齣豐富的多樣性。勒古恩令其由群島組成,並為不同島區、不同島嶼設置瞭許多截然不同的種族與文化。在所有的島嶼中,大法師格得的故鄉弓忒,既非最大,也非...

挺好看的。結局總覺得有點瀉力……可能隻是我過瞭童話故事的年紀!

評分星辰大海和巫師巨龍都有,但故事內核非常肅穆甚至灰暗。我所期待的澄明寂靜的虛空並沒在結尾齣現,而是替代以橘色的溫暖煙火氣。至死與自我追逐,纏鬥,廝殺。溫柔是萬頃寒夜中一點星火,無從留戀轉眼天涯。Ged經曆過無數人,但留下麵孔和言語的不過寥寥幾人,最終令他心懷溫柔念想的隻有兩三人而已。他永遠不敞開自己。在這個用言語構築的世界,每個人懷抱著緻命的秘密:他真正的名字。名字隔絕瞭一切,保護著脆弱柔軟的內核。如果說master還有可能稍微觸碰到這個核心的內部,那基友就全然是見證者。他們隻是望著他嚮前走。在那要命的一瞬間,他完全是孤獨的。
