ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Tombs of Atuan by Ursula K. Le Guin centers on Tenar, a young girl chosen in childhood to serve as the high priestess, Arha, in the ancient and isolated Tombs of Atuan. Her life is one of ritual and devotion to the mysterious Nameless Ones. The arrival of a sorcerer from the Inner Lands seeking a powerful treasure disrupts the established order and challenges Arha's beliefs and identity. The narrative delves into themes of power, darkness versus light, confinement and freedom, and the search for one's true self within a world of ancient traditions and hidden secrets.
