About This Book
The Farthest Shore is the third of a series of books written by Ursula
K. Le Guin and set in her fantasy archipelago of Earthsea. It follows on
from The Tombs of Atuan, which itself was a sequel to A Wizard of
Earthsea.
Throughout Earthsea a strange malaise is spreading. Magic is losing its
power; songs are being forgotten; people and animals are sickening.
Accompanied by the young prince Arren, whose true name is Lebannen, Ged,
also known as Sparrowhawk, now Archmage of Roke, leaves the island to
find the cause of the problem. After a journey which takes them to the
literal end of the earth, and into the land of the dead, they confront
and defeat the mage Cob, whose magic has opened a doorway between the
worlds. But Ged must sacrifice all his power to close the breach.
Le Guin offers us two endings to the story. In one, after Arren's
coronation as King of Earthsea, Ged sails alone out into the ocean and
is never heard from again. In the other, Ged returns to the forest of
his home island of Gont. In 1990, seventeen years after the publication
of The Farthest Shore, Le Guin opted for the second ending when she
continued the story in Tehanu.
