One of the Time 100 Best Fantasy Books Of All Time
WINNER OF THE HUGO AND LOCUS AWARDS FOR BEST ART BOOK
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the timeless and beloved A Wizard of Earthsea that “reads like the retelling of a tale first told centuries ago” (David Mitchell)—this complete omnibus edition of the entire Earthsea chronicles, including over fifty illustrations illuminating Le Guin’s vision of her classic saga by Hugo and Locus Award-winning artist , Charles Vess.
Ursula K. Le Guin’s Earthsea novels are some of the most acclaimed and awarded works in literature—they have received prestigious accolades such as the National Book Award, a Newbery Honor, the Nebula Award, and many more honors, commemorating their enduring place in the hearts and minds of readers and the literary world alike.
Now for the first time ever, they’re all together in one volume—including the early short stories, Le Guin’s “Earthsea Revisioned” Oxford lecture, and a new Earthsea story, never before printed.
With a new introduction by Le Guin herself, this essential edition will also include fifty illustrations by renowned artist Charles Vess, specially commissioned and selected by Le Guin, to bring her refined vision of Earthsea and its people to life in a totally new way.
[Stories include: “A Wizard of Earthsea”, “The Tombs of Atuan”, “The Farthest Shore”, “Tehanu”, “Tales From Earthsea”, “The Other Wind”, “The Rule of Names”, “The Word of Unbinding”, “The Daughter of Odren”, and “Earthsea Revisioned: A Lecture at Oxford University”.]
With stories as perennial and universally beloved as The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of The Rings—but also unlike anything but themselves—this edition is perfect for those new to the world of Earthsea, as well as those who are well-acquainted with its enchanting magic: to know Earthsea is to love it.

Über den Inhalt der Bücher möchte ich nichts großartig sagen.
Das für mich besondere an dieser Ausgabe ist die unglaubliche schöne Aufmachung. Der Schutzumschlag ist so viel schöner als man es durch die frontale Abbildung beim online Shoppen erahnen könnte. Besonders der Buchrücken besticht durch sein unglaublich schönes Design. Auch der Einband selber ist wirklich gelungen mit seiner schönen roten Farbe und dem goldenen Schriftzug. Im Band selber finde ich besonders angenehm, dass die Platzeinteilung sehr großzügig ist, was das Lesen sehr angenehm macht.
Auch die Illustrationen haben mir recht gut gefallen
I don’t want to talk too much about the content of this edition although its obviously nice to have all collected works around the world of earthsea in one edition.
What I want to mention is the extraordinary visual aspect of this book. Externally, the dust jacket is designed amazingly. Especially it’s spine looks super good which is unfortunately not seen when you do online shopping..
When the dust jacket is removed also the book cover with its deep red color and golden font looks really really good.
Inside the book you have very generous spacing which allows smooth and comfy reading.
The illustrations also are quite catchy.
