nuovo episodio di Lore Lounge!

Un classico del fantasy a firma di una maestra del genere fantastico e speculativo: Ursula K. Le Guin.

L'arcipelago di Earthsea, con la sua ricchezza etnografia e le sottigliezze metafisiche è giustamente riconosciuto come un pilastro della narrativa per ragazzi e non solo.

One great aspect to Ursula K Leguin's novel A Wizard of Earthsea is the friendship that develops between two young mages, Vetch and Sparrowhawk, continuing on to the very end of the story

An epic encounter. The power of knowing one's true name. Definitely one of the best scenes ever written in the history of fiction.
#earthsea #UrsulaLeGuin

Thinking about how the internet is like #Earthsea: people have their use-names, though some go by their true names.

We finished Ursula LeGuin’s “The Farthest Shore” last night and man were my dreams weird. This one is really gonna stick with me I think. I love LeGuin’s #worldbuilding and while I could go on just know I really enjoyed this one. #Earthsea

Currently revamping the BIND #ttrpg with a magic system inspired by #Earthsea.

Casters stack Verbs, Nouns, and Adjectives together to make spells.

- Destroy Fire (put a lantern out)
- Wide Alter Flesh (give a group of people horns)
- Create Complex, Wide Air (make a noxious cloud)

#WritingWonders 6/6. MC nicknames?
Afterthought: surprised it took me this long but now I'm thinking of #Earthsea, where everyone has a 'usename' and a 'true name' - the MC is called Sparrowhawk, but his true name is Ged. True names have great power and people usually only reveal them to a very few trusted others. #UrsulaKLeGuin

My Dad once told me that the origin of our surname is also Sparrowhawk, which I haven't verified but damn well ought to be true.

REVIEW: Cinder Well's gothic trance folk is both impressionistic and high exacting: an otherworldly listening experience that calls to mind Ursula K LeGuin's Earthsea series.

Ursula K Le Guin was an amazing person. I think her sci fi has had more of an effect on me as a person (particularly The Dispossesed), but #Earthsea has a huge influence on all of my fantasy #TTRPG writing, right up there next to #Malazan as my biggest inspiration when writing for TTRPGs

I listened to audiobooks for the first five #Earthsea books back when I had to commute to work. When I started working from home, I didn’t have that time in my day for listening to audio books, so I never quite got around to finishing the series. But I just borrowed the 6th book from the library and started reading it, and wow I missed this series. Every entry in the series is just so wonderful and magical, I think I might just have to read it through again once I finish

Stumbled across a mention of SyFy's notoriously bad adaptation of the first two Earthsea books and went looking for commentary on it. I think this scathing article by Le Guin herself gets the idea across.

#fantasy #earthsea #whitewashing

My little group is reading (or re- reading) the #earthsea series.
This is just an admission to nobody in particular that LeGuin's writings have more than I ever imagined. Ged as a model for how to hold power while being kind is still something I find myself learning from.
I wish I had understood that message better when I was younger.
