A brand new revised edition of the best-selling graphic novel based on the enchanting prelude to The Lord of the Rings.

The Hobbit Graphic Novel

First ever publication of J.R.R. Tolkien''s final writings on Middle-earth, covering a wide range of subjects and perfect for those who have read and enjoyed The Silmarillion, The Lord of the Rings, Unfinished Tales, and The History of Middle-earth, and want to learn more about Tolkien''s magnificent world. It is well known that J.R.R. Tolkien published The Hobbit in 1937 and The Lord of the Rings in 1954-5. What may be less known is that he continued to write about Middle-earth in the decades that followed, right up until the years before his death in 1973. 
           For him, Middle-earth was part of an entire world to be explored, and the writings in The Nature of Middle-earth reveal the journeys that he took as he sought to better understand his unique creation. From sweeping themes as profound as Elvish immortality and reincarnation, and the Powers of the Valar, to the more earth-bound subjects of the lands and beasts of Numenor, the geography of the Rivers and Beacon-hills of Gondor, and even who had beards! 
           This new collection, which has been edited by Carl F Hostetter, one of the world''s leading Tolkien experts, is a veritable treasure-trove offering readers a chance to peer over Professor Tolkien''s shoulder at the very moment of discovery: and on every page, Middle-earth is once again brought to extraordinary life.

THE NATURE OF MIDDLE-EARTH

D'année en année, le culte jaloux qui entourait Le Seigneur des Anneaux à sa publication dans les années 1950 s'est transformé en succès universel. Les Hobbits, ce « peuple effacé mais très ancien » qui vivait quelque part au nord-ouest de l'Ancien Monde, nous sont devenus aussi familiers que les héros des contes de fées ou ceux des grandes épopées, avec Bilbo, Gandalf, Bombadil ou Galadriel et tous les habitants de la Terre du Milieu.

Magistralement restitués par son fils après la mort de J.R.R. Tolkien, les Contes et Légendes inachevés du Second Âge prolongent et élargissent l'oeuvre de l'inépuisable conteur.

Contes et légendes inachevés Tome 2 : le second âge

" je ne vous ai pas capturés, dit arthur.
 Je suis descendu ici et je vous ai trouvés collés au sol.
- tu n'es donc pas un enchanteur malintentionné ?
- pas le moins du monde.
- alors, libère-nous et nous te laisserons la vie sauve.
- je n'ai pas très bien saisi pourquoi vous êtes ici, reprit doucement arthur.
- nous avons élaboré une campagne de pillage, de destruction et de vengeance. ce monde va trembler.
- il y aura des morts ?
- d'abord walt disney.
 Puis tchaïkovski et...
- ceux-là sont déjà morts ".
Les sept fées dragées se regardèrent. campanule sortit les pieds de ses chaussures et se retrouva collé au sol juste à côté. 
Allons, cette campagne serait plus compliquée que prévu.

Chansons pour tolkien t.2 ; sur les berges du temps

Très loin, là-bas, par-delà les monts du cheval d'orage, l'aeland était le dernier comté du royaume.
 Les habitants n'avaient qu'une joie : leurs enfants. mais les gobelins vinrent construire un grand château noir. et les enfants disparurent.
On dit que là où ils étaient, ils n'étaient pas trop malheureux. ils savaient bien qu'ils atteindraient la mesure. alors ce serait la fête et ils partiraient pour la verte campagne, où ils seraient heureux à jamais. pour eux, le temps s'était comme endormi. ailleurs, l'histoire devenait folle.
 Les gens fuyaient sur la terre dévastée. quand la famille fut surprise par les démons, maman dit à sa fille de sauter. avec les autres, elle se cacha dans les roseaux. les rêves leur dirent d'aller à la tour abandonnée.
Le pays était démantelé, les pouvoirs perdus. mais les enfants renaîtraient. en ces jours de désolation apparaîtrait une fraternité de libérateurs nés du sang des légendes et venus proclamer la gloire de la terre.

Chansons pour tolkien t.1 ; l'adieu au roi

The second part of The History of The Lord of the Rings, an enthralling account of the writing of the Book of the Century which contains many additional scenes and includes the unpublished Epilogue in its entirety.

 The Treason of Isengard continues the account of the creation of The Lord of the Rings started in the earlier volume, The Return of the Shadow.

 It traces the great expansion of the tale into new lands and peoples south and east of the Misty Mountains: the emerence of Lothlorien, of Ents, of the Riders of Rohan, and of Saruman the White in the fortress of Isengard.

 In brief outlines and pencilled drafts dashed down on scraps of paper are seen the first entry of Galadriel, the earliest ideas of the history of Gondor, and the original meeting of Aragorn and Eowyn, its significance destined to be wholly transformed.

 The book also contains a full account of the original map which was to be the basis of the emerging geography of Middle-earth.

The Treason of Isengard

A collection of Tolkien's four acclaimed modern classic "fairie" tales in the vein of "The Hobbit". They tell of an unheroic farmer who must face a dragon, the unlikely adventures of Tom Bombadil, an attempt to paint a perfect tree, and a journey to the Land of Faery courtesy of a magic cake.

Tales from the Perilous Realm

The comprehensive collection of letters spanning the adult life of one of the world's greatest storytellers, now revised and expanded to include more than 150 previously unseen letters, with revealing new insights into The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion.

 J. R. R. Tolkien, creator of the languages and history of Middle-earth as recorded in The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion, was one of the most prolific letter-writers of this century. Over the years he wrote a mass of letters - to his publishers, to members of his family, to friends, and to 'fans' of his books - which often reveal the inner workings of his mind, and which record the history of composition of his works and his reaction to subsequent events.

 A selection from Tolkien's correspondence, collected and edited by Tolkien's official biographer, Humphrey Carpenter, and assisted by Christopher Tolkien, was published in 1981. It presented, in Tolkien's own words, a highly detailed portrait of the man in his many aspects: storyteller, scholar, Catholic, parent, friend, and observer of the world around him.

 In this revised and expanded edition of The Letters of J. R. R. Tolkien, it has been possible to go back to the editors' original typescripts and notes, restoring more than 150 letters that were excised purely to achieve what was then deemed a 'publishable length', and present the book as originally intended.

 Enthusiasts for his writings will find much that is new, for the letters not only include fresh information about Middle-earth, such as Tolkien's own plot summary of the entirety of The Lord of the Rings and a vision for publishing his 'Tales of the Three Ages', but also many insights into the man and his world. In addition, this new selection will entertain anyone who appreciates the art of letter-writing, of which J. R. R. Tolkien was a master.

The Letters of J. R. R. Tolkien - Revised and Expanded edition

A revised and reset edition of 'The Silmarillion', illustrated by Tolkien artist Ted Nasmith -- designed to match and complement the illustrated 'Lord of The Rings'.
