[i]Only in silence the word,
only in dark the light,
only in dying life:
bright the hawk's flight
on the empty sky.[/i]
--From the Creation of Ea
This quartet is from the book whose name is in the subject of this entry - written by Ursula K. LeGuin, its one of the books that i love a lot. Fantasy it is, sort of a trendsetter after which harry potter and the likes came...but it is unique in the way it affects you. I read this book when i was at high school and quite identified with the hero - a young wizard (sparrowhawk by name) coming of age.
Talking about this book reminds me of my all-time favourite "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho. After picking up a copy for rmyself, ive given it to my dad, mom and sis and everyone liked it very much. The simple message of listening to your heart and following one's dreams to the end is just amazing. I recommend this to everyone!
What are your favourite books? enlighten me :)
