Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses the science fiction and fantasy author, Ursula K. Leguin's book, Tales From Earthsea, the fifth of six Earthsea books

He is clearly a damaged person, both in his emotions and in his thinking, and connects more with the animals who he can speak to and heal than with the human beings living in the high marsh.
