'''Earthsea''' designates a series of novels and stories by [[Ursula K. Le Guin]], and the fictional world in which they take place.

== The Books of Earthsea ==
#''[[A Wizard of Earthsea]]'' ([[1968]])
#''[[The Tombs of Atuan]]'' ([[1971]])
#''[[The Farthest Shore]]'' ([[1972]],
#''[[Tehanu: The Last Book of Earthsea]]'' ([[1990]])
#''[[Tales from Earthsea]]'' ([[2001]])
#''[[The Other Wind]]'' ([[2001]])
=== Other Stories of Earthsea ===
*"[[The Word of Unbinding]]" ([[1964]]) (in ''[[The Wind's Twelve Quarters]]'')
*"[[The Rule of Names]]" ([[1964]]) (in ''[[The Wind's Twelve Quarters]]'')

== Adaptations ==
* [[Legend of Earthsea]] ([[2004]]) (TV mini-series) (USA)
* [[Gedo Senki — Tales from Earthsea]] ([[2006]]) (film) (Japan)

== The World of Earthsea ==
Earthsea is an archipelago where magic and wizards and dragons exist. The wizards study magic at the island of Roke, where women are forbidden to be students.

== Race ==
Most of the inhabitants of Earthsea are dark-skinned, except for the people of the Kargish Isles. This was a deliberate decision from Le Guin, who wanted to set her stories in a world where White people were not the default.

The TV and film adaptations largely betrayed that decision.

== Gender ==
Le Guin wrote ''Tehanu'' after reconsidering the thoughtless sexism in the world-building of her earlier Earthsea works.
