In print for more than three decades and translated into dozens of languages, here is the audio release of the first book in The Earthsea Trilogy. This is a tale of wizards, dragons, and shadows, played in an archipelago of imagined islands. The young boy Sparrowhawk becomes apprentice to a Master Wizard; but impatience to learn faster takes him far from home to Roke Island, where he enters the School for Wizards. As a student of magic, Sparrowhawk exceeds his years in accomplishment, but pride and jealousy drive the boy to try certain dangerous powers too soon. A terrible evil is let loose in the land.

  • I remember reading this when I was younger, but I couldn't remember anything about it.
    It's a good story, but I found it a little slow and over-descriptive, and I don't think I will read the other Earthsea books.
    I much prefer other Le Guin's works.

    A fantasy classic. Very possibly my favorite book, the main character resonated so much with me when I read it as a teen, and re-read it and re-read it through my life. Isolation, coming of age, struggling to overcome, descent into darkness, struggle against yourself, enlightenment. Beautifully written, evocative images that last a lifetime.
