Comprising three oversized hardback volumes housed in a full-colour slipcase, this edition of Tolkien’s classic masterpiece is fully illustrated in watercolour throughout by the acclaimed and award-winning artist, Alan Lee.
Since it was first published in 1954, The Lord of the Rings has been a book people have treasured. Steeped in unrivalled magic and otherworldliness, its sweeping fantasy has touched the hearts of young and old alike. Well over 100 million copies of its many editions have been sold around the world, and occasional collectors’ editions become prized and valuable items of publishing.
With the epic trilogy now being released on film, images of the characters and landscapes have become eagerly sought after. Much of the look of the movies is based on Alan Lee’s paintings, giving this Centenary edition of Tolkien’s great work new relevance for the ever-growing number of fans.

J.R.R.Tolkien (1892-1973) was a distinguished academic, though he is best known for writing The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion, plus other stories and essays. His books have been translated into over 80 languages and have sold many millions of copies worldwide.
Alan Lee was invited to illustrate the centenary edition of The Lord of the Rings, which led to further Tolkien editions, including The Hobbit and the three ‘Great Tales’: The Children of Húrin, Beren and Lúthien and The Fall of Gondolin. He worked as Conceptual Designer and Set Decorator on both Middle-earth film trilogies, receiving the Academy Award for Best Art Direction for his work on The Return of the King.

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Deze editie van Tolkiens klassieke meesterwerk bestaat uit drie extra grote gebonden delen in een full-colour slipcase en is volledig geïllustreerd met aquarelverf door de befaamde en bekroonde kunstenaar Alan Lee. In pracht staat incl prachtige prenten erin van Alan Lee. The Lord of the Rings, geschreven door de Engelse schrijver en filoloog J.R.R. Tolkien, behoort tot de meest invloedrijke en succesvolle werken binnen het fantasygenre. Oorspronkelijk bedoeld als vervolg op zijn kinderboek The Hobbit, groeide het verhaal uit tot een epische trilogie die bekendstaat als een mijlpaal in de high fantasy-literatuur. De trilogie speelt zich af in de rijk uitgewerkte fictieve wereld Midden-aarde en volgt de hobbit Frodo Balings op een gevaarlijke queeste om de Ene Ring, een instrument van duistere macht, te vernietigen. Met personages die uiteenlopen van hobbits en elfen tot mensen, dwergen en magiërs, schetst Tolkien een diepgaand en complex universum waarin thema?s als vriendschap, moed en corruptie centraal staan. Sinds de oorspronkelijke publicatie in de jaren vijftig zijn er wereldwijd meer dan 150 miljoen exemplaren verkocht en is het werk vertaald in talloze talen. Zowel qua verhaal als door Tolkien?s uitgebreide mythologie en taalcreaties blijft The Lord of the Rings een begeerd onderwerp voor verzamelaars en liefhebbers van klassieke fantasy. Het boekenwerk markeert niet alleen een literaire prestatie, maar ook een cultuurhistorisch fenomeen dat de hedendaagse fantasyliteratuur mede heeft vormgegeven. Codice articolo 5865
