Fantasy Elements of the Over-real in Ursula Le Guin’s The Earthsea Saga

Summary/Abstract: This article aims to trace the relationship between the magical and fantasy; the author begins by analyzing the two main components, “magical” and “real”, as they interact in the building of a whole, full-blooded fantasy world. We will follows how this exceptionally interesting and “explosive” combination works in Ursula Le Guin’s masterpiece, The Earthsea saga. In order to present the exceptional scale of the Earthsea world, we will distinguish the innovative fantasy elements developed by Ursula Le Guin. We will focus on how the magical is built over the real and how it complements and conceptualizes the model of a world, bringing it to a certain nature-related and magical type of fantasy. We discuss how the world boundaries are determined by the ontological model of two worlds: between the magical and the non-magical underground forces of darkness and nothingness; between the world of the living and the anti-world in the realm of the dead.
