MediaDB / «The Damned Gift" Ursula Le Guin: download fb2, read online
About the book: 2007 / Residents of the Lower Lands are afraid of them and consider them sorcerers. There is some truth in this, because almost every mountaineer has one or another magical gift. What a person is capable of depends on what race he belongs to. Some people can master fire, others can summon and tame animals, and others have been given the terrible talent of killing from a distance with a glance and a movement of the hand. Kanok Kaspro is one of the most powerful “sorcerers”, and therefore people living under his hand feel protected from the attacks of greedy and treacherous neighbors. But time passes, and even the leisurely life in secluded mountain valleys changes. Will he be able to, and most importantly, will his son Orrek want to become the new keeper of Kaspromant and the heir to a terrible gift, having gone through difficult trials and learning the cruel truth about himself? For the first time in Russian!
