[subject-beam]

Would you recommend watching Earthsea, reading the books or both?

DO NOT WATCH EITHER ADAPTATION OF EARTHSEA (american miniseries and ghibli movie). I cannot stress enough that they are both supremely terrible adaptations of the books, as well as being arguably quite bad as standalone pieces of media. I believe there are some well-liked radio drama adaptations available on Youtube though!

But really, I can’t recommend the books enough. A Wizard of Earthsea is widely beloved for a reason, but imo the rest of the series as a whole far surpasses it. There are good audiobook readings as well, though I’ve found that they can be hard to follow in that format. They’re short but dense so they move at a quick pace and it’s easy to miss significant details and implications.

The first trilogy (A Wizard of Earthsea, The Tombs of Atuan, and The Farthest Shore) is very episodic. Each concerns the coming-of-age of a different adolescent protagonist, so you could really read them in any order; chronological is probably the most rewarding, since the protagonist of Wizard is a major character for the whole series, but if you’d prefer to read a book with a female protagonist and/or have a penchant for slow-burn psychological drama, I’d start with Atuan. It’s my favorite book of the first trilogy (and also the shortest!)

The second trilogy (Tehanu, Tales From Earthsea, and The Other Wind) takes a sharp turn into darker, more mature subject matter. It’s messier than the first but far more complex and thematically rich. Sex becomes a major theme—not in the GoT “high fantasy that FUCKS” sense but in the sense that it deconstructs the patriarchal and erotophobic social structures that are presented uncritically in the first trilogy, and often taken for granted as the foundations of high fantasy worldbuilding. These you need to read in chronological order, as they’re far more dependent on your knowledge of the previous books, though a friend of mine has confirmed that Tehanu (my favorite book of the series and one of my favorite books, period) is still powerful as a stand-alone novel.

The illustrated “Books of Earthsea” omnibus also includes the four short stories in the series, two of which she wrote before Wizard (“The Word of Unbinding” and “The Rule of Names”) and two which she wrote after The Other Wind (“The Daughter of Odrin” and “Firelight”), as well as the essay “Earthsea Revisioned.” I highly recommend reading “Revisioned” after Tehanu, as that’s when it was written and that’s the book it chiefly concerns. I read the short stories in chronological order after finishing the novels, which offered a nice retrospective microcosm of the development of the whole series. Whatever you do, save “Firelight” for last.

Ganymede

And there is Odrine

[riyam-dieten-drehas]

Hey there Riyam! Got a question for you.

I've heard in movies and cartoons about rains so acid they could melt rocks and metal or even rains consisting of skull splitting rocks.

What kind of rain do You have on your planet? And what is the worst kind of weather you can have there?

Koncha! Gatta for asking!

My planet is pretty much like yours, with green grass and trees, and water. So we also have water rain. Actually, your rain is more acidic than ours since we don't have as much pollution in the air.

Also, we have the chance to have a magical crystal that controls the weather. It makes it rain at night when it's needed and during the sowing season. This crystal is known as Oteki, and was brought on our world by Sakusu Themselves, the Creator of Odrin. Few had the chance to see it, and I have the honor to be one of them.

Without Oteki, our world falls into chaos. Floods, tornadoes, anything you can imagine would happen at the same time. After learning more about Oteki's role, I understood that, at the very creation of Odrin, Sakusu was too weak to create a self-sustaining planet like yours. The easiest for Them was to put just a little magic into a crystal and let it control the weather.

I hope I answered your question properly.

Soncha!

The Balkan Wars

Unraveling Aspirations and Shifting Alliances

Paving the Way for Conflict

As Bulgaria’s capital industry burgeoned, the need for trade outlets in the Aegean became apparent. Simultaneously, the people of Macedonia and Lower Thrace endured the enduring burden of Ottoman rule. In this complex landscape, a war seemed inevitable, driven by varied aspirations that momentarily converged on common goals.

War as a “Sacred Cause”

Post-insurrections and the attainment of state independence, the Bulgarian populace viewed war against Turkey as the sacred means to address the national question. This endeavor aimed to liberate compatriots in Macedonia and the Odrin region, offering a potential solution to their plight.

The Balkan Alliance Emerges

With the global powers teetering on the brink of a world war, the Triple Alliance and the Entente sought allies in the Balkans. The result was the formation of the Balkan Alliance under Russian patronage. This strategic coalition united Balkan Christian states against a still formidable Turkey and served as a tool for the Entente’s influence in the Peninsula Private Turkey Tours.

Exploiting Ottoman Weakness

Seizing the weakened state of the Ottoman Empire after its defeats in the war with Italy, the Bulgarian rulers, alongside Serbia, Greece, and later Montenegro, established the Balkan Entente in 1912. This alliance aimed to exploit the Ottoman Empire’s vulnerability.

Bulgarian-Serbian Treaty

The Bulgarian-Serbian Treaty, signed on February 29th, 1912, targeted Turkey and envisioned the division of future free Macedonia into two regions or zones. Bulgaria, assuming a pivotal role in the conflict, committed to deploying a substantial force and leading the war on the crucial Thracian front against the principal Turkish forces.

Challenges Within the Balkan Alliance

While the Balkan Alliance promised unity, it soon became evident that the union was fragile and temporary. Unresolved territorial issues created internal tensions. Bulgaria, undertaking significant responsibilities, found itself grappling with the explosive dynamics of conflicting interests within the alliance.

Prelude to Conflict

The Balkan Wars were not just battles on the Thracian front but also a complex interplay of shifting alliances, national aspirations, and geopolitical strategies. As Bulgaria assumed a central role, the stage was set for a conflict that would reshape the region’s political landscape.

A Precipitated Conflict and Strategic Errors

Prelude to Chaos

In mid-October, after the Allies declared war on Turkey, the Balkans witnessed a tumultuous series of events. Bulgaria, at the forefront of the conflict, achieved significant victories in the Odrin region of Thrace. However, strategic blunders and shifting alliances would soon plunge the region into further chaos.

Bulgarian Campaigns

As three Bulgarian armies secured victories in Thrace, success smiled upon the Serbs and Greeks in Macedonian and Albanian territories. The Ottoman Empire, facing mounting losses, sought a truce. King Ferdinand, acting as Commander-in-Chief, made a strategic error driven by his eagerness to enter Constantinople swiftly. Ordering an attack on the heavily fortified Turkish position at Chataldja, mere kilometers from Constantinople, proved a hasty move that would alter the course of events.

Stalled Offensive and Shifting Tides

Unfortunately, the offensive at Chataldja faced resistance, emboldening the Turkish government. London peace negotiations faltered in December, and Germany threw its support behind the new Turkish regime. The fate of the war hung once again on the battlefield, and in the ensuing months, Bulgarian troops tightened their grip. Prolonged and bloody battles led to a breakthrough, compelling Turkey to sign a peace treaty in London on May 17, 1913.

Disputes over Territory

Despite the victorious outcome, internal strife plagued the Allies. Disagreements over the division of conquered territory emerged. Secret negotiations between Serbia and Greece signaled the virtual termination of the Balkan Alliance. The autumn of 1912 saw diplomatic maneuvers that foreshadowed Bulgaria’s predicament Private Turkey Tours.

Bulgaria’s Assault on Former Allies

In a historical breach of the Constitution, King Ferdinand I launched an offensive on June 16, 1913, against former allies—the Serbian and Greek armies occupying Macedonia. The move, marked by miscalculations, exposed Bulgaria to a coalition that now included Romania and Turkey.

Bulgaria’s Historical Irresponsibility

With battles erupting on four fronts, Bulgaria found itself in a precarious position. The precipitant step proved historically irresponsible, considering the exhaustion of the Bulgarian army post-Balkan War. Adding to the complexity, Russia, a key player, showed little sympathy for Bulgarian claims and harbored favorable sentiments for Serbia.

The Unraveling of Alliances

The Balkan Wars, initially marked by triumphs and territorial gains, descended into discord and internal strife. Bulgaria’s ill-fated offensive, driven by strategic errors and a fractured alliance, painted a tumultuous picture of the region’s complex geopolitical landscape.
