This lecture discusses the science fiction and fantasy author, Ursula K. Leguin's novel, A Wizard of Earthsea, the first of six Earthsea books
It focuses specifically on the concept of a "true name", which allows the knowing or understanding of the thing named, as well as its control or manipulation by magic. Persons, animals, things, even bodies of water each have their name in Earthsea
