" je ne vous ai pas capturés, dit arthur.
 Je suis descendu ici et je vous ai trouvés collés au sol.

- pas le moins du monde.
- alors, libère-nous et nous te laisserons la vie sauve.

 Puis tchaïkovski et...

Les sept fées dragées se regardèrent. campanule sortit les pieds de ses chaussures et se retrouva collé au sol juste à côté.

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

Au milieu des années 1950, un professeur d'Oxford à l'imagination inépuisable créait une épopée fabuleuse qui allait devenir l'objet d'un culte jaloux pour toute une génération de lycéens anglais. Aujourd'hui, les lecteurs du Seigneur des Anneaux se comptent par millions, mais ces adeptes des Hobbits et de leur pays des merveilles continuent à se comporter comme une secte secrète ou une maçonnerie d'initiés. Afin de faciliter l'accès des plus jeunes à son royaume fantastique, J.R.R. Tolkien publia des récits comme Les Aventures de Tom Bombadil, le joyeux drille, qui prolongent l'enchantement des comptines enfantines.

Les aventures de Tom Bombadil

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an enthralling account of the writing of the Book of the Century which contains many additional scenes and includes the unpublished Epilogue in its entirety.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

Premier récit publié par JRR Tolkien, en 1937, cette histoire, inventée par l'auteur pour ses propres enfants, rapporte les aventures de Bilbo, un jeune Hobbit, héros malgré lui lancé en quête d'un trésor gardé par un dragon, en compagnie de Nains et du magicien Gandalf. Bien que destiné initialement à la jeunesse, ce texte a également enchanté des générations de lecteurs adultes, par son suspense, ses coups de théâtre, son humour, sa poésie. mais aussi parce qu'il introduit le lecteur dans un monde inventé par Tolkien, la Terre du Milieu, qui sert de décor à la plupart de ses récits (dont Le Seigneur des Anneaux) ; et parce qu'il présente des personnages appelés à connaître une grande postérité, dont les Hobbits, Gandalf et. l'Anneau. Cette édition est servie par la nouvelle traduction, assurée par Daniel Lauzon, qui respecte les particularités du texte, son jeu avec les registres (du plus léger, au début du récit, vers des moments plus sombres, annonçant Le Seigneur des Anneaux qui prendra sa suite), la musicalité des chansons et des poèmes.

Le Hobbit

Le seigneur des anneaux

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

The definitive edition of J.R.R. Tolkien''s most beloved book, sporting a facsimile of his original cover design and complete with colour plates of his own paintings, brand new reproductions of all his drawings, and colour versions of both maps.

Bilbo''s life is never to be the same again.  Seldom has any book been so widely read and loved as JRR Tolkien''s classic tale,  The Hobbit . Since its first publication in 1937 it has remained in print to delight each new generation of readers all over the world, and its hero, Bilbo Baggins, has taken his place among the ranks of the immortals: Alice, Pooh, Toad...
