Tales from Earthsea
by Ursula K. Le Guin
The tales of this book, as Ursula K. Le Guin writes in her introduction, explore or extend the world established by her first four Earthsea novels. Yet each stands on its own. "The Finder," a novella set a few hundred years before A Wizard of Earthsea, presents a dark and troubled Archipelago and shows how some of its customs and institutions came to be. "The Bones of the Earth" features the wizards who taught the wizard who first taught Ged and demonstrates how humility, if great enough, can contend with an earthquake. "Darkrose and Diamond" is a delightful story of young courtship showing that wizards sometimes pursue alternative careers. "On the High Marsh" tells of the love of power-and of the power of love. "Dragonfly" shows how a determined woman can break the glass ceiling of male magedom. Concluding with an account of Earthsea's history, people, languages, literature, and magic, this collection also features two new maps of Earthsea.

BEAUTIFUL CONDITION: TOR Books, 2001. 623 pp. The Book is pristine. The dust jacket has only the slightest crimp at the head of spine and is now protected in fresh Mylar. From one of the field's most entertaining writers, a fabulous retrospective collection. From his first sale in 1950 to his work this year, Harry Harrison has been one of the science fiction world's creative dynamos, working in every subgenre of the field, entertaining, provocative, and bursting with ideas. Parodic one moment, serious the next, Harrison has been called by Brian Aldiss "one of the few authors capable of carrying the old vigor of earlier days forward into a new epoch." Now, on the occasion of his fiftieth anniversary as a professional writer, Harrison gathers together fifty of his best stories-one for each year-along with substantial notes and introductory material, for a whirlwind tour of his best work. 50 in 50 is at once a memoir, a compendium of one of science fiction's most engaging bodies of work by any author, and a look at the history of science fiction in the second half of the 20th century.
