Abstract

This report examines the “secondary world” in fantasy literature using the example of the first novel in the Earthsea Cycle by U. K. Le Guin. The semantic content and genesis of the term “secondary world” in the fantasy genre are determined. The ontological and mythological systematicity in the description of the geography, climate, and culture of the world is analyzed.
