Restaurato con cura dai manoscritti di Tolkien e presentato per la prima volta come una storia continua e autonoma, il racconto epico di Beren e Lúthien riunirà i fan di Lo Hobbit e Il Signore degli Anelli con Elfi e Uomini, Nani e Orchi e il ricco paesaggio e le creature uniche della Terra di Mezzo di Tolkien. Il racconto di Beren e Lúthien era, o divenne, un elemento essenziale nell'evoluzione del Silmarillion, i miti e le leggende della Prima Era del Mondo concepiti da JRR Tolkien. Di ritorno dalla Francia e dalla battaglia della Somme alla fine del 1916, scrisse il racconto l'anno seguente. Essenziale per la storia, e mai cambiato, .È il destino che oscurò l'amore di Beren e Lúthien: perché Beren era un uomo mortale, ma Lúthien era un'elfa immortale. Suo padre, un grande signore elfico, in profonda opposizione a Beren, gli impose un compito impossibile che avrebbe dovuto portare a termine prima di poter sposare Lúthien. Questo .È il nocciolo della leggenda; e porta al tentativo supremamente eroico di Beren e Lúthien insieme di derubare il più grande di tutti gli esseri malvagi, Melkor, chiamato Morgoth, il Nemico Nero, di un Silmaril. In questo libro Christopher Tolkien ha tentato di estrarre la storia di Beren e Lúthien dall'opera completa in cui era inserita; ma quella storia stava cambiando mentre sviluppava nuove associazioni all'interno della storia più ampia. Per mostrare qualcosa del processo attraverso cui questa leggenda della Terra di Mezzo si .È evoluta nel corso degli anni, ha raccontato la storia con le parole di suo padre fornendo, prima, la sua forma originale, e poi passaggi in prosa e versi da testi successivi che illustrano la narrazione mentre cambiava. Presentati insieme per la prima volta, rivelano aspetti della storia, sia nell'evento che nell'immediatezza narrativa, che sono stati poi persi. Il libro di JRR Tolkien La caduta di 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.
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.
Christopher Tolkien, born on 24 November 1924, was the third son of J.R.R. Tolkien. As his father’s literary executor, he devoted over forty years to the publication of his father’s unpublished works, from The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales to Beren and Lúthien and The Fall of Gondolin, and within 'The History of Middle-earth' series, and was awarded the Bodley Medal for his services to literature in 2016. He died in January 2020 at the age of 95.
Painstakingly restored from Tolkien’s manuscripts and presented for the first time as a continuous and standalone story, the epic tale of Beren and Lúthien will reunite fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves and Men, Dwarves and Orcs and the rich landscape and creatures unique to Tolkien’s Middle-earth.
The tale of Beren and Lúthien was, or became, an essential element in the evolution of The Silmarillion, the myths and legends of the First Age of the World conceived by J.R.R. Tolkien. Returning from France and the battle of the Somme at the end of 1916, he wrote the tale in the following year.
Essential to the story, and never changed, is the fate that shadowed the love of Beren and Lúthien: for Beren was a mortal man, but Lúthien was an immortal Elf. Her father, a great Elvish lord, in deep opposition to Beren, imposed on him an impossible task that he must perform before he might wed Lúthien. This is the kernel of the legend; and it leads to the supremely heroic attempt of Beren and Lúthien together to rob the greatest of all evil beings, Melkor, called Morgoth, the Black Enemy, of a Silmaril.
In this book Christopher Tolkien has attempted to extract the story of Beren and Lúthien from the comprehensive work in which it was embedded; but that story was itself changing as it developed new associations within the larger history. To show something of the process whereby this legend of Middle-earth evolved over the years, he has told the story in his father’s own words by giving, first, its original form, and then passages in prose and verse from later texts that illustrate the narrative as it changed. Presented together for the first time, they reveal aspects of the story, both in event and in narrative immediacy, that were afterwards lost.
