Wizard of Earthsea

Today, Ged is the greatest magician of the Earth Morean, and in his youth he was recklessly eager for power and knowledge. Having stepped on a path that seemed the shortest and lightest, the young man touched an ancient secret, and through his fault the great evil penetrated the world. To correct the deed, you need to go a different path - long to life. Risking at every step, to overcome unthinkable obstacles, change to recognition, understand your purpose - and converge in a decisive duel with a black shadow.
Cycle "Wizard of the Earth Morean" brought it to the author of world glory, and now he stands on a par with such a masterpiece of fantasy as the “Lord of the Rings" J. R. Tolkien and "Narnia" K. S. Lewis
