Comprising: A Wizard of Earthsea, The Tombs of Atuan and The Farthest Shore
The Wizard of Earthsea Trilogy Comprising: A Wizard of Earthsea, The Tombs of Atuan and The Farthest Shore
Gollancz, 1971.
Three volumes, all first UK editions. 8vo. Original boards in pictorial dustwrappers, with designs by David Smee. A fine set, bright and crisp with just a touch of fading too the spine and a neat gift inscription to the final volume.
The author's most famous work, which broke ground for epic fantasy in several ways. The first part had a non-white hero, and the work as a whole explores the role of gender in fantasy and power structures, where the quest structure isn't good versus evil, but balance.
