La prima pubblicazione mondiale di un'opera fantasy sconosciuta di JRR Tolkien, che racconta la potente storia di un giovane uomo condannato che viene venduto come schiavo e che giura vendetta al mago che ha ucciso suo padre. Kullervo figlio di Kalervo .È forse il più oscuro e tragico di tutti i personaggi di JRR Tolkien. Lo sfortunato Kullervo , come lo chiamava Tolkien, .È un ragazzo orfano sfortunato con poteri soprannaturali e un destino tragico. Cresciuto nella fattoria del mago oscuro Untamo, che ha ucciso suo padre, rapito sua madre e che ha tentato tre volte di ucciderlo quando era ancora un bambino, Kullervo .È solo, tranne che per l'amore della sorella gemella, Wanona, e protetto dai poteri magici del cane nero, Musti. Quando Kullervo viene venduto come schiavo, giura vendetta al mago, ma imparerà che anche al punto della vendetta non c'.È scampo dal più crudele dei destini. Tolkien scrisse che The Story of Kullervo era il germe del mio tentativo di scrivere leggende mie ed era una questione importante nelle leggende della Prima Era ; il suo Kullervo era l'antenato di Túrin Turambar, tragico eroe incestuoso del Silmarillion. Oltre a essere una storia potente di per sé, The Story of Kullervo, pubblicata qui per la prima volta con le bozze, gli appunti e i saggi di lezione dell'autore sulla sua opera di origine, The Kalevala, .È una pietra angolare nella struttura del mondo inventato da Tolkien. Il libro di JRR Tolkien The Fall of Númenor .È stato un bestseller del Sunday Times nella settimana del 07 11 2022.

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.
Verlyn Flieger is a Professor of English at the University of Maryland and is a specialist in comparative mythology with a concentration in J.R.R. Tolkien. She teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in Celtic, Arthurian, Hindu, Native American, and Norse myth.
The world first publication of a previously unknown work of fantasy by J.R.R. Tolkien, which tells the powerful story of a doomed young man who is sold into slavery and who swears revenge on the magician who killed his father.
Kullervo son of Kalervo is perhaps the darkest and most tragic of all J.R.R. Tolkien’s characters. ‘Hapless Kullervo’, as Tolkien called him, is a luckless orphan boy with supernatural powers and a tragic destiny.
Brought up in the homestead of the dark magician Untamo, who killed his father, kidnapped his mother, and who tries three times to kill him when still a boy, Kullervo is alone save for the love of his twin sister, Wanona, and guarded by the magical powers of the black dog, Musti. When Kullervo is sold into slavery he swears revenge on the magician, but he will learn that even at the point of vengeance there is no escape from the cruellest of fates.
Tolkien wrote that The Story of Kullervo was ‘the germ of my attempt to write legends of my own’, and was ‘a major matter in the legends of the First Age’; his Kullervo was the ancestor of Túrin Turambar, tragic incestuous hero of The Silmarillion. In addition to being a powerful story in its own right, The Story of Kullervo – published here for the first time with the author’s drafts, notes and lecture-essays on its source-work, The Kalevala, is a foundation stone in the structure of Tolkien’s invented world.
