【有声书+BBC广播剧】The Earthsea Cycle Volumes 1-6 (1968-2001) 地海传说六部曲

                
                
本系列为西方奇幻文学经典之一，与托尔金的《魔戒三部曲》及路益思 (C.S. Lewis) 的《纳尼亚年代记》齐名。作品意涵有别于西方基督教精神，而富有中国老子道家思想；并非强调善恶对立的二元价值观，而是传达「平衡」、阴阳同源的理念。
本系列乃藉由奇幻冒险背景探讨青少年成长的心理历程，以丰富的隐喻象征手法深刻描绘青少年在发展过程中面对的种种困惑与危机。粗略而言，地海三部曲的主题都环绕在黑暗与光明、生与死、主动与被动等对立的概念上。
本系列由六部系列小说组成：
第一部: 地海巫师
（A Wizard of Earthsea）/1968
意象最惊心动魄，也最深远动人。故事以贯穿地海三部曲的灵魂人物格得法师的成长历程为轴，无望和痛苦不绝，必得有坚强的心灵才能超克难关。看著格得从跨海逃亡转而主动反击，峰回路转紧张玄疑，故事结束时，读者仿佛也共同经历了一场心灵的洗涤淬，在宁静满足的尾声中慢慢沈淀和回味激动的情绪。
第二部: 地海古墓
（Tombs of Atuan）/1971
故事最为单纯易懂，在与世隔绝的阴暗墓园中，藉由一只手环的复合，黑暗与光明结合，清灵聪慧的少女恬娜得到重生，世界也因而重获和平。
第三部: 地海彼岸
（The Farthest Shore）/1972 　
色彩最丽的一部，橙红淡紫、萝纱珠饰，场景从繁华的贸易商港拉开，仿如现代社会的原型，故事中黑暗力量的根源也很类似当代文明的弊病。权力贪欲、窃贼充斥、帮派出没等问题一再提醒我们回头省察当下的处境。以海为家的浮筏人世界则是作者刻意提出与现世对照的一个乐园典型。书名暗喻著死亡之境，最终要告诫我们的是应该接受死亡而不必畏惧逃避它，“方生方死、方死方生”，获奖纪录荣获 1973 年美国国家书奖童书奖地海群岛区自失去真正的王后，已过了八百年。如今，异常状况四起，气候大乱，魔法几乎无法顺利运作，地海大法师格得偕同年轻的王子亚刃四处旅行，追索问题的根源。
第四部: 地海孤雏
（Tehanu）/1990
　
本书在《地海彼岸》出书20年后才出版，展现更为圆熟的叙事功力与更深刻的人文关怀，藉由地海世界的奇幻特质，以平凡妇女、受虐女童、村野女巫等弱势族群的视野，探讨父权体制下女性生命的挫折、困厄与成长。本书不仅让地海传说的文学成就更上一层楼，也让奇幻文学主题有了更深的意义。
第五部：地海短篇故事集
（Tales from Earthsea）/2001
由五篇有关地海世界的短篇故事与一篇地海世界简介集结而成。勒瑰恩在这些故事中，从不同面向的人物、不同的角度，再度借用地海世界来阐述她对人性的深刻理念。最后，地海世界简介篇则从历史、地理环境、民族、语言文字、风俗等详细介绍地海世界，相信对所有地海迷而言，都是非常珍贵的资料。
第六部: 地海奇风
（The Other Wind）/2001 　
叙述一位擅长修补物品的术士“赤杨”，每晚梦见亡妻站在生死之界的矮墙旁呼唤他，而矮墙也逐渐被拆除。如果墙破了，亡魂将入侵地海世界。赤杨向曾是地海大法师的格得求助，格得指点他去找地海真王“黎白南”。于是赤杨、黎白南必须与一位烧伤的女子、一位施用禁法的法师、一位既是龙又是女子的奇人，联手修正远古祖先犯下的错，修补地海。
作者：厄休拉·勒奎恩
美国文坛一位十分独特的女作家，她一手写奇幻和科幻，一手写纪实小说、诗歌、散文、游记、文学评论、童书和剧本，可谓样样精通。她在奇幻小说方面成就斐然，地位崇高，代表作《地海传奇》系列，包括《巫师》、《古墓》、《彼岸》、《特哈努》和《地海传说》，问世后举世瞩目，受到广泛肯定，名列经典，多年来一直深受各年龄层读者喜爱，凡探讨奇幻文学或青少年文学的论文或评论，必提及《地海传奇》的重大成就。
她的科幻小说也深邃和耐人寻味，最有影响的是两部长篇巨著《黑暗的左手》和《一无所有》。勒奎恩曾获星云奖与雨果奖，其他奖项与荣誉更是不计其数。
Earthsea is a fictional realm originally created by Ursula K. Le Guin for her short story "The Word of Unbinding", published in 1964. Earthsea became the setting for a further six books, beginning with A Wizard of Earthsea, first published in 1968, and continuing with The Tombs of Atuan, The Farthest Shore, Tehanu, Tales from Earthsea and The Other Wind. All are set in the world of Earthsea, as are seven short stories by Le Guin, two of which are not collected in any of these books.
Awards
Each novel in the series has received a literary award, including the 1969 Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for Fiction & the 1979 Lewis Carroll Shelf Award for A Wizard of Earthsea, the 1972 Newbery Honor for The Tombs of Atuan, the 1973 National Book Award for Children's Books for The Farthest Shore, the 1990 Nebula Award for Best Novel for Tehanu, and the 2002 World Fantasy Award for Best Novel for The Other Wind.
                
                
The Earthsea canon
Short stories
Seven short stories appear in two collections of Le Guin's work (and some have been reissued elsewhere). Two seminal stories were originally published in 1964 and were collected in The Wind's Twelve Quarters (Harper & Row, 1975). Five much later stories were collected in Tales from Earthsea (Harcourt, 2001), where three were original.[5]
    "The Word of Unbinding", Fantastic Stories of Imagination, January 1964
    "The Rule of Names", Fantastic Stories of Imagination, April 1964
    "Dragonfly", Legends: Short Novels by the Masters of Modern Fantasy, Tor Books, 1998
    "Darkrose and Diamond", The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Oct-Nov 1999
    "The Bones of the Earth" (2001), original to Tales from Earthsea
    "The Finder" (2001), original to Tales from Earthsea
    "On The High Marsh" (2001), original to Tales from Earthsea
Tales from Earthsea also includes about thirty pages of fictional reference material titled "A Description of Earthsea" (2001) and catalogued as short fiction by ISFDB.[5]
Novels
    A Wizard of Earthsea (Parnassus Press, 1968)
    The Tombs of Atuan (Atheneum Books, 1971)[a]
    The Farthest Shore (Atheneum Books, 1972)
    Tehanu: The Last Book of Earthsea (Atheneum Books, 1990)
    The Other Wind (Harcourt, 2001)
Chronology
The internal or fictitious historical order of Earthsea stories differs from their publication order. There is some uncertainty in this "historical" list, but the five novels were published in historical order and the birth of Ged preceded all but the first four entries.
    "The Word of Unbinding"
    "The Finder"
    "Darkrose and Diamond"
    "The Rule of Names"
    "The Bones of the Earth"
    A Wizard of Earthsea
    The Tombs of Atuan
    "On the High Marsh"
    The Farthest Shore
    Tehanu
    "Dragonfly"
    The Other Wind
    "A Description of Earthsea", the last part of Tales from Earthsea, is fictitious reference material rather than narrative.
The two 1964 stories are not entirely consistent with the others and they have no certain place in Earthsea chronology. "The Word of Unbinding" may be set any time before The Other Wind, but the differences in magical terminology, the presence of the otherwise unknown "trolls" (whom Le Guin notes "became extinct in Earthsea at some point"), and the character of the evil wizard Voll the Fell suggest that it might be appropriately placed either before the time of Morred, or later, in the Dark Times after the death of Maharion and before the founding of the school on Roke; in either case before "The Finder".
                
                
朗读
前3部(64kbps)：Rob Inglis，此君朗读的魔戒系列、霍比特人最受称道；
第4部(48kbps)：像是志愿者朗读作品？求高手指点。
第5部(48kbps)Tales from Earthsea：Scott Brick, Gabrielle De Cuit, Ursula K. Le Guin, Amanda Karr, Stefan Rudnicki
第6部(48kbps)The Other Wind：Scott Brick, Gabrielle de Cuir, Harlan Ellison, Robert Foxworth, Jean Smart
第5/6部的有声版颇受国外听众质疑，被指在有多人朗读参与的情况下，没充分利用分角色朗读的优势(或许是出于成本控制的考虑？)。个人倒是挺喜欢开头那个女声(Gabrielle De Cuit？)的朗读，读得清晰易懂，比老爷子Rob Inglis读的易懂多了。
就转录水平来说，1-4部算是勉强；5/6很粗糙，有不均匀的背景噪声；配得上清晰的只有下文的BBC广播剧(160kbps)，可惜BBC仅制作了地海巫师的广播剧。
Radio
A BBC-produced two-hour radio dramatisation of A Wizard of Earthsea was originally broadcast on Radio 4 on December 26, 1996. This adaptation was narrated by Dame Judi Dench, with Michael Maloney as Ged, and used a wide range of actors with different regional and social accents to emphasize the origins of the Earthsea characters (for instance, Estarriol and others from the East Reach were played by actors with Southern Welsh accents). The adaptation was subsequently released on audio cassette.
