A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K Le Guin (graphic novel adapted by Fred Fordham)

4.75 stars

Earthsea is such a masterpiece that means so much to me, so I was skeptical at first. But it was an immediate green flag that Le Guin's son initially reached out to Fordham because he loved his work and wanted to see his mother's works adapted as a graphic novel.

This is so gorgeous, absolutely stunning illustrations with soft, cinematic lighting and sparse text. It's basically long sequences of evocative, painterly images with an occasional direct quotation lifted from the original book. I loved it so much more than I thought I would.

It genuinely made me view and love this story in a new way. I really hope Fordham keeps adapting the rest of the Earthsea books, because I want to keep returning to his version of Le Guin's world.

The cover of A Wizard of Earthsea, the graphic novel adapted by Fred Fordham. A small human figure standing on a beautiful beach casts a long, large, misshapen shadow that extends into the aqua of the ocean. The title appears in large white font with a lot of flourishes (traditional fantasy font for sure).

Jakob looked down, readying himself to jump from the roof. He would dive through the chilly night air, hit the ground in front of the physics building, and all his problems will be gone: his loneliness, his bad grades, his depression. He had never felt he belonged in this world.

A firm hand suddenly held his shoulder. “I don’t think you will fly today, my boy,” said Prof Sperber. A sudden gust of sea-scented wind came and went.

Впервые за 25, наверное, лет перечитал основную трилогию "Земноморья" Урсулы ле Гуин.
О боги, какая же она гениальная. Один из лучших текстов о жизни, смерти, свободе и взрослении.
Истории, которые могут вызвать слезы и катарсис.
Мечтаю теперь о подробном сериале по миру Земноморья, с саундтреком #TheodorBastard. Песня Oikoumene должна сопровождать Долгий Танец на день середины лета.
Но ведь испортят же, если возьмутся. Так что может лучше и не мечтать.

Humble Bundle is offering 30 books* by Ursula K. Le Guin, including all of Earthsea, several Hainish novels, Catwings, short stories, Gifts/Voices/Powers, nonfiction writing...

I've read the Earthsea series and most of the Hainish novels, plus Lathe of Heaven, and I've got copies of several more on my to-read pile, but I'm totally grabbing this for the nonfiction and short stories! (I'm going to have a lot of reading material next year.)
