书籍介绍
Years before, they had escaped together from the sinister Tombs of Atuan -- she, an isolated young priestess, he, a powerful wizard. Now she is a farmer's widow, having chosen for herself the simple pleasures of an ordinary life. And he is a broken old man, mourning the powers lost to him not by choice.A lifetime ago, they helped each other at a time of darkness and danger. Now they must join forces again, to help another -- the physically and emotionally scarred child whose own destiny remains to be revealed.With millions of copies sold, Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea Cycle has earned a treasured place on the shelves of fantasy lovers everywhere. Complex, innovative, and deeply moral, this quintessential fantasy sequence has been compared with the work of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, and has helped make Le Guin one of the most distinguished fantasy and science fiction writers of all time. She lives in Portland, Oregon.

地海中的普通人,男与女。
There's something within us,inherent.It has been there long before the word existence itself. And even we are in the most despair,peril,lost everything,we still have it. And that,not status,power nor gender,is what makes us who we are and who we'll become. Only here do i truly fall in love with Ged the man,not Ged the wizard. 太爱冬日小屋的段落,感觉看到了我梦想的生活)
众所周知,奇幻世界里杀人一般都用干草叉。
Gosh..这本算是伪奇幻了,除了开头和结尾的龙和英雄让人激动,全书都在絮絮叨叨轻视女权的不公…我感觉地海四本是每况愈下,这本只给三星:一星是开头结尾,一星给在一起的Ged和Tenar,一星给厄休拉灵光乍现的妙笔(conversation那段我无耻的笑了)。
终于在一起了。
地海三部曲被女权批评是女性写的男人主角成长的故事,而这本是勒古恩多年之后想要重新书写地海世界的第一本书。所以当时听书的重点老是放在“那她要如何挑战之前自己的固有思维呢”。而当女性作为主角时,好像也没办法不审视,作者所投注精力描述的“女”是不是只是一种传统意义上feminity的展现。我很难说清她的诠释是不是我能感到满意的一种,但这本书在情感上既温柔又充满力量,母爱就仿佛一团火焰,或者说就像书里的龙一样,长久而不衰。有点怪但还是很喜欢的一本(尤其是相比于tomb of atuan)
一年读一本地海。回望四年前在新家纸板箱上和Ged初遇的时刻,已像是上辈子的事了。如果说前三部曲尽管融合了勒古恩更富有自我观照的圆融视角,但依然讲述的是传统奇幻故事。那么这一部时隔十八年后的续作就是真正意义上对宏大叙事的彻底解构——将视角投向“暗处”,那些隐抑在背后的女性、落魄者与边缘人。连需要战胜的都不再是颠覆世界的反派,而是更日常的恶和恨。人到中年的Ged和Tenar苦苦追问的是“如果我们一无所有,如果我们没有可凭依的地位、青春和力量,我们是谁?”对权力结构本身的反思和反抗贯彻始终。正是在这种绝望的诘问里,在沉重的上行之后,这个看似“无大事发生”的故事焕发出一种生命本源的光华和力量,如寒冬深夜小木屋外撒向雪地的月光。太喜欢太喜欢了,在此时能读到这一部,于世界于我,都是各种意义的恰逢其时。
Not as great as the first three. I don't have quarrel with adding elements in the old story as long as it doesn't contradicts old ones. The Ged we knew from the old books was a great mage not because he has power but he knew how to obey the great balance of the world. Now he became an average joe sulking in midlife crisis without his power.
ged和tenar可谓是“蓦然回首,那人却在灯火阑珊处”了。第二部时就觉得他们应该在一起,没想到这一等就是二十五年。这一部ged可谓是遇上了中年危机吧(笑),重心转移到了tenar这位有着三个名字三段截然不同人生经历的女性,因此作者顺势讨论了有关女性权利的话题,但却没有给出清楚的解答。结尾收的太快了,留下了几个坑没有回答,不知道是不是留到下一部。是四部中最不喜欢的一部……让我再回味回味……
