Le Guin, Ursula (1972). The Farthest Shore (1sted.). New York: Atheneum Books. ISBN 978-0-689-30054-7. Tales from Earthsea is a collection of fantasy stories and essays by American author Ursula K. Le Guin, published by Harcourt in 2001. It serves as an accompaniment to the five novels (1968 to 2001) of the Earthsea cycle, all set in the fictional archipelago Earthsea. [1]The following are the main collections of short stories that were published in the wider Earthsea world. After "The Rule of Names" and before "A Wizard of Earthsea", Le Guin wrote a long story about a prince in search of the Ultimate. He travels south-west from Havnor through the archipelago into the open sea. There he finds a raft-colony and sea-people, whom he joins in the sea. The prince wears out, sinks and finds the Ultimate. This story was never submitted for publication because "it never worked out itself well". [17] However, the theme of a raft-colony and sea-people was later taken up as an important ingredient in the plot of The Farthest Shore.
