Há quem diga que o feiticeiro mais poderoso de todos os tempos é um homem chamado Gavião. Este livro narra as aventuras de Ged, o menino que um dia se tornará essa lenda.

Ainda pequeno, o pastor órfão de mãe descobriu seus poderes e foi para uma escola de magos. Porém, deslumbrado com tudo o que a magia podia lhe proporcionar, Ged foi logo dominado pelo orgulho e a impaciência e, sem querer, libertou um grande mal, um monstro assustador que o levou a uma cruzada mortal pelos mares solitários.

Publicado originalmente em 1968, O feiticeiro de Terramar se tornou um clássico da literatura de fantasia. Ged é um predecessor em magia e rebeldia de Harry Potter. E Ursula K. Le Guin é uma referência para escritores do gênero como Patrick Rothfuss, Joe Abercrombie e Neil Gaiman.

Slow-paced and enoyable read

5 stars

I enjoyed reading this. With her thoughtful writing style, the author did a wizardly job in creating the perfect mood for this slow-paced, sombre, yet hopeful adventure. I could feel Ged's unease and determination as if I had been with him.

I was enchanted by the interesting concept of magic in Earthsea. And I also liked that we accompany Ged, of whom we know from the start that he will be a great wizard, from his very beginnings of his magical journey, when he was still inexperienced and short-tempered.

The cherry on top was the world building, which was a real charm! On Ged's voyage, I often could grasp the feeling of being on the open sea, a remote island or at the edge of the world.
