Am 1. Juli 2002 von Carlsen veröffentlicht.
Arha's isolated existence as high priestess in the tombs of Atuan is jarred by a thief who seeks a special treasure.
It's the kind of story I'd like to follow a bit further. Also, I'd love some more exploration of how the reality and the worship are connected. But I was happy as it was.
It's decades since I last read this book and I could only remember fragments of it. I had filed it away as one of the best books I'd ever read and on that basis I was worried that reading it all these years later would demote it from that lofty position. It is with relief I can confirm that I wasn't wrong all those years ago and I can keep it filed in its existing place as a fantastic book.
