Совместные темы статей, блога и мастерской

Well, now the cover of an unnamed artist, perhaps the best in the series. To be honest, the author of the images is known to us. Currently, he is the art editor of one of the largest Russian publishers. But since he is not listed in the output data in the publication and so far he himself has not let slip about his authorship, let this magnificent design remain unsigned for the time being.

This day we’ll be covering “A Wizard of Earthsea” by Ursula K. Le Guin, first published by Severo-Zapad in 1991.

This dust jacket of the Russian edition of the book was also illustrated by Denis Dmitrievich Gordeev, as well as the previous book presented in this section of the site (The Lord of the Rings).

Несмотря на то, что в следующей рецензии (и в существующем самиздатовском переводе Александра Борисовича Вироховского) название звучит как «Книга длинного солнца» (The Book of the Long Sun), мне кажется, что вариант с архаическим оттенком «Книга долгого солнца» более уместен.
