A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

WHEN YOUNG TENAR is chosen as high priestess to the ancient and nameless Powers of the Earth, everything is taken away -- home, family, possessions, even her name. For she is now Arha, the Eaten One, guardian of the ominous Tombs of Atuan. While she is learning her way through the dark labyrinth, a young wizard, Ged, comes to steal the Tombs' greatest hidden treasure, the Ring of Erreth-Akbe. But Ged also brings with him the light of magic, and together, he and Tenar escape from the darkness that has become her domain. With millions of copies sold, Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea Cycle has earned a treasured place on the shelves of fantasy lovers everywhere. Complex, innovative, and deeply moral, this quintessential fantasy sequence has been compared with the work of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, and has helped make Le Guin one of the most distinguished fantasy and science fiction writers of all time. She lives in Portland, Oregon.

In this second book of the Earthsea Cycle, Sparrowhawk risks his life and his soul entering the labyrinth of the Tombs of Atuan to recover the missing half of the legendary Ring Erreth Akbe. In the legends of Earthsea, it is said that the wizard and king Erreth-Akbe was defeated by the high priest of the Kargad lands and his amulet of power, bearing the rune of bonding, was broken and was lost. Now, in this unabridged recording, the wizard Sparrowhawk enters the menacing labyrinth of the Tombs of Atuan to regain the amulet, and restore the rune which will bring peace to all of the islands of Earthsea. Yet, the labyrinth has a guardian, a young priestess named Arha, whose life is dedicated to the dark spirits who inhabit the tombs. She is determined that the wizard will meet the fate that befell Erreth-Akbe long ago.
