儿童节特供：11本最伟大的英文童书

9. Ursula K Le Guin, A Wizard of Earthsea (1968)

《地海巫师》（1968年），厄休拉•勒奎恩著

A young boy known as Sparrowhawk saves his village with a smattering of magic he learned from his aunt, a local witch. Apprenticed to the mage Ogion the Silent, and renamed Ged, he begins his training as a sorcerer. Le Guin’s exploration of the consequences of Ged’s misfires and temptations while at a school for wizards, his struggles with dragons and his inner demons, reshaped fantasy storytelling’s concepts of good and evil. Gradually, Ged gains wisdom as he faces his challenges. "He knew now, and the knowledge was hard, that his task had never been to undo what he had done, but to finish what he had begun." "To me Le Guin’s story is about learning your craft as a writer, the long and painful struggle for mastery of both your art and yourself, written in astounding prose," says Amanda Craig, author and reviewer for the New Statesman and the Daily Telegraph.

一位名叫雀鹰的少年凭借从女巫姨妈那里学到的一点法术拯救了他的村庄。后来他给巫师“沉默的欧吉安”做学徒，师父欧吉安给他改名为“格得”，自那以后他就开始学习做巫师。勒奎恩对于格得在巫师学院失手遭反噬以及面对的种种诱惑，他与龙族以及自己内心的恶魔做斗争的描写，重新定义了奇幻小说的善恶概念。渐渐地，格得在面对挑战的过程中智慧见长。“经历了一番艰难困苦后，他现在明白，他的使命从来不是要撤销他所种下的果，而是要把他做的事坚持到底。”“对我而言，勒奎恩的故事讲的是作为一个作家如何磨炼你的写作技巧，她用令人惊叹的文字告诉我们，达到艺术和个人境界的高峰需要经过一番漫长而痛苦的挣扎，”《新政治家周刊》和《每日电讯报》撰稿人及评论家阿曼达•克雷格说。（来源：帕那色斯出版社）
