Aggiungi al carrelloHardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. Jacket and illustrations by Alan Lee (illustratore). 1st Edition. First edition, first impression with '1' on copyright page. Some very slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, not price clipped (£18.99), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy, with foldout map at rear as called for. 315pp, lavishly illustrated by Alan Lee. Painstakingly restored from Tolkien's manuscripts and presented for the first time as a fully continuous and standalone story, the epic tale of 'The Children of Hurin' will reunite fans of 'The Hobbit' and 'The Lord of the Rings' with Elves and Men, dragons and dwarves, eagles and orcs, and the rich landscape and characters unique to Tolkien. There are tales of Middle earth from times long before 'The Lord of the Rings', and the story told in this book is set in the great country that lay beyond the Grey Havens in the West, lands where Treebeard once walked, but which were drowned in the great cataclysm that ended the First Age of the World. In that remote time Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in the vast fortress of Angband, the Hells of Iron, in the North and the tragedy of Turin and his sister Nienor unfolded within the shadow of the fear of Angband and the war waged by Morgoth against the lands and secret cities of the Elves. Their brief and passionate lives were dominated by the elemental hatred that Morgoth bore them as the children of Hurin, the man who had dared to defy and to scorn him to his face. Against them he sent his most formidable servant, Glaurung, a powerful spirit in the form of a huge wingless dragon of fire. Into this story of brutal conquest and flight, of forest hiding places and pursuit, of resistance with lessening hope, the Dark Lord and the Dragon enter in direly articulate form. Sardonic and mocking, Glaurung manipulated the fates of Turin and Nienor by lies of diabolic cunning and guile, and the curse of Morgoth was fulfilled. The earliest versions of this story by J.R.R. Tolkien go back to the end of the First World War and the years that followed, but long afterwards, when 'The Lord of the Rings' was finished, he wrote it anew and greatly enlarged it in complexities of motive and character: it became the dominant story in his later work on Middle earth. But he could not bring it to a final and finished form. In this book his son Christopher Tolkien (1924-2020), has constructed, after long study of the manuscripts, a coherent narrative without any editorial invention.

Expanded from The Narn I Hin Hurin, originally published in "Unfinished Tales", and loosely based on the Tale of Sigurd the Volsung from the German Nibelungenlied, the story unfolds in the remote First Age of Middle-Earth when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in the vast fortress of Angband, the Hells of Iron, the tragedy of Turin and his sister Nienor unfolded within the shadow of the fear of Angband and the war waged by Morgoth against the lands and secret cities of the Elves.

Some very slight edge wear to top and bottom of covers and spine, only one very faint crease to top of spine, price on back cover (£14.99), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy, looks unread. 593pp. Ryhope Wood is three square miles of Herefordshire woodland which is once inside much much more, a labyrinth which spreads over space and time, wherein live all the creatures and configurations, the mythagos, of ancient legend. This great primal forest is fascinating and terrible, steeped in myth and mystery, and no one who passes into it comes out unchanged, if they come out at all. Ryhope Wood is quite unlike anything anyone could ever have foreseen, beyond reality, beyond imagination. In MYTHAGO WOOD, Stephen Huxley has already lost his father to Ryhope Wood, he returns from war to find his brother Christian has followed the family obsession. LAVONDYSS finds young Tallis Keeton adventuring into the very heart of the realm. Classic Celtic fantasy by Robert Holdstock (1948-2009). A scarce book.
