Abstract
Ursula K. Le Guin was an American writer, a master of science fiction and fantasy. She was the
author of the famous Earthsea trilogy, in which magic remains the pivotal idea. In the novels, Le
Guin links immense, yet dangerous, supernatural abilities with the idea of Equlibrium within realms,
a principle that governs the universe. The paper is an attempt to elucidate how certain visions of life
after death are constellated within Le Guin’s fantasy writings. Visibly inspired by Eastern mythologies
and religious doctrines, the author does not steer clear from the vision rooted in Western traditions.
The ongoing debate is an attempt at clarifying the universal concept of soul and mankind.
