RE: https://mementomori.social/@juergen_hubert/117319625781954546
Question: Is it possible to buy the #Earthsea books (or other books by Ursula #LeGuin) somewhere in a DRM-free ebook format?
I want to buy them, but I also really hate #DRM .

Ciao Mondo
Mai come.in questo periodo ho provato così tanta fatica nel leggere.
E perciò solo letture #comfortbook -
CW: Introduction post with lots of hashtags
New server, new #Introduction, I guess
I'm an #ActuallyAutistic #Queer person in #Edinburgh, #Scotland. I usually post about my interests or random thoughts in my head. I also often complain about technology around me. I also like to read about sustainability. Trying to keep my #HousePlants alive.
What you should know is I'm lactose intolerant. So please keep dairy away from my feed, haha.
I like watching #SciFi ( #StarTrek, #StarGate, #DoctorWho, and others), but I also like #MurderMystery. If you don't want to be murdered, don't go to Cabot Cove ( #MurderSheWrote). Occasionally I watch some #musical.
I try to get better at Go ( #weiqi, #baduk)
For games I usually play on my #NintendoSwitch (casual gamer - #MarioKart, #AnimalCrossing, #MarioParty, main series of #Mario, #Splatoon, #WarioGames, and more) and #BoardGames (a casual fan - I genuinely enjoy playing #Cluedo and #Munchkin. I also enjoy #Fluxx, #GiveMeTheBrain, #Scrabble, #TheSettlersOfCatan, Pandemic (that hashtag would be confusing), #ExplodingKittens, #Dixit, and more)
#TheHobbit is still my favourite book, but I also like #MissMarple, #Poirot, and #SherlockHolmes. #TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy series is great. So is #Discworld by #TerryPratchett. Enjoyed #EarthSea series.
I like to drink #Tea, especially #GreenTea. Enjoy animated shows like #Daria, #Amphibia, #TheOwlHouse, #ScoobyDoo, #GravityFalls, #BobsBurgers, #SpyXFamily, #InvaderZim, #DuckTales, #AvatarTheLastAirbender, old #TheSimpsons, #SpongeBob, and others
Occasionally watch some #KDrama
Fan of #sriracha

Ursula K. LeGuin's "Earthsea" cycle is an excellent thing to re-read in your early 40ies, to see how different and still the same it feels in the middle of your life instead of the first quarter.
And this particular edition - hard to hold in your hands, impossible to carry with you, but containing quiet a few extra texts - is something I definitely recommend, too.

The Bookwall.
Like the book in the previous post I have recently re-read these. Whilst I may.
Helpfully someone pointed me to audiobook versions online so that I could read along; I've had bad reader's block. Horrible.
Featuring The Immanent Grove on their covers, The Other Wind and Tales From Earthsea both came out in 2002. In the alleged UK they were published, somewhat ironically, by Orion’s Children’s Books. They grew with their audience; those who’d read - or been read - A Wizard of Earthsea, decades earlier. Tales… in particular has some downright nasty content.
The Other Wind managed to become my favourite Earthsea novel, supplanting The Tombs Of Atuan. It succeeded in closing the series more satisfyingly than the slightly disappointing Tehanu. More importantly it righted an egregious error-of-story from The Farthest Shore. Something that really needed addressing. And it did it so well.
Ursula K Le Guin. Woman author. Wrote a series of books about a boy who goes to wizarding school and has adventures all over as he gets older. In 1968. Didn’t use her influence to terrorise a minority.

I'm doing some #TTRPG thinking... While i anxiously await the physical Legends in the Mist books, I am looking at my #Earthsea / Realm of the Elderlings inspired game I want to do at some point.
I think I have a handle on Wit. Next up will be Skill and... oh boy will that be a doozy.
(The Earthsea inspiration is largely the Archipelago setting and some other bits)

New book review on my website!
Tehanu, Ursula K. Le Guin
★★★★★A character-driven look at the lives of ordinary people in a world of magic, especially the women and children (and not a few men) caught underfoot when wizards, heroes and villains fight. And (of course) dragons.

I'm currently re-reading Earthsea. I really like the idea that true power resides in knowing the true names of things and letting them be, i.e. letting things flow according to their own nature. The flip side of this power would be domination, where names are taken from people and things and they are forced to do the bidding of a single will. This seems to be exactly the battle played out in the books, in a different way in each story.

Only in dark the light,

“You thought, as a boy, that a mage is one who can do anything. So I thought, once. So did we all. And the truth is that as a man's real power grows and his knowledge widens, ever the way he can follow grows narrower: until at last he chooses nothing, but does only and wholly what he must do. . . .”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, A Wizard of Earthsea

Gerade gehört: #EinMagiervonErdsee von #UrsulaLeGuin
Der erste Band der #Earthsea Saga besticht durch eine für moderne #Fantasy fast untypisch wirkende Einfachheit. Er erscheint unmissverständlich für eine jüngere und höchstens auch für eine Erwachsene Leserschaft gedacht.
Ein liebevoll gestalteter Protagonist und interessante Nebencharaktere werden ergänzt durch vielversprechendes #Worldbuilding und eine #Magie ,deren System es mir besonders angetan hat.

As a trans person, it was really nice to learn that Harry Potter was largely a reproduction of A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin. What's more, the original wizarding school was populated entirely by people of color.

Book review: The Tombs of Atuan, Ursula K. Le Guin
★★★★★Still my favorite of the Earthsea books. There's something fascinating about a labyrinth that you must traverse in total darkness, keeping a map and counting turns in your head.

Short story reviews: The Word of Unbinding and The Rule of Names, Ursula K. Le Guin
★★★★☆The original two stories set in Earthsea, before she wrote the novels. Each stands alone, interesting both in themselves and in seeing what the series and its themes grew from.

Just finished #UrsulaKLeGuin's VOICES, second book in the Annals of the Western Shore trilogy. As ever I'm awed by how vividly she depicts her worlds, like I just returned from a visit to Ansul. This trilogy may not get the level of attention #Earthsea gets, but I think they're just as lovely.

Comic book review: A Wizard of Earthsea (Graphic Novel), Ursula K. Le Guin and Fred Fordham
★★★★★Fordham's watercolor-style art is absolutely gorgeous. The adaptation plays to the medium's strengths, allowing the visuals to tell the story when possible, keeping Le Guin's prose when needed. Wide seascapes, rocky coasts, forested landscapes, people (not whitewashed!) and dragons...

The universal themes Le Guin touches on — identity, self-discovery, and growth — are common to all people, male or female (or neither), straight or queer, cis or trans.

Book review: A Wizard of Earthsea, Ursula K. Le Guin
★★★★★The Earthsea series is one of my regular re-reads. It starts here, with the tale of how a goatherd grew into a wizard in a world where magic is woven through everything from the poorest village to the greatest palace. How he released a terrifying evil in his youth, and how he sailed the world seeking how to make up for his mistake.

One of my most prized possessions. I think it's the only first edition I own.

Having read them in two other languages, it's time to read the books of #Earthsea in English.
