ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin tells the story of Ged, a young boy with immense magical talent, who must learn the true meaning of power. Ged's journey begins with his arrogance and desire for mastery, which leads him to unleash a shadow creature, forcing him on a quest of self-discovery. The narrative explores the importance of names and the concept that true power lies in understanding oneself and the world. The story is not about war, but about the personal trials Ged faces as he travels through Earthsea, confronting his inner demons. Ged learns that his true strength lies in accepting the balance of light and dark, symbolized by merging with the shadow.
