Book by Le Guin Ursula K

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

The bestselling saga that started with A Wizard of Earthsea continues in this triumphant, potent and fantastical tale of magic, love and dragons. Every night the sorcerer Alder dreams of his wife, who died young and wants so much to return to him that she kissed him across the low stone wall that separates our world from the land of the dead. The dead pull Alder to them, seeking to free themselves through him and invade Earthsea. In desperation, Alder turns to Sparrowhawk, the former Archmage, and is told to seek out Tenar, Tehanu and the young King Lebannen. With these three and the amber-eyed Irian, a dragon able to take the shape of a woman, Alder journeys to the Immanent Grove on Roke. For the incursion of the dead is not the only danger threatening Earthsea: the dragons are back. And after centuries of peace, they come to claim what they believe is rightfully theirs. 'I adored The Other Wind. Real mythmaking, done by a master of the craft. . . . The magic of Earthsea remains as potent, as wise and as necessary as anyone could dream.' Neil Gaiman, author of Coraline and The Sandman.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The sorcerer Alder fears sleep. The dead are pulling him to them at night. Through him they may free themselves and invade Earthsea. Alder seeks advice from Ged, once Archmage. Ged tells him to go to Tenar, Tehanu, and the young king at Havnor. They are joined by amber-eyed Irian, a fierce dragon able to assume the shape of a woman. The threat can be confronted only in the Immanent Grove on Roke, the holiest place in the world and there the king, hero, sage, wizard, and dragon make a last stand.      In this final book of the Earthsea Cycle, Le Guin combines her magical fantasy with a profoundly human, earthly, humble touch.
