Contes et légendes inachevés - tome 2 Deuxième âge

Ce recueil, comprenant une quinzaine d'articles et des entretiens avec Christian Bourgois et John Howe, est destiné aux lecteurs désireux de mieux comprendre l'univers de Tolkien, ainsi qu'aux étudiants et aux chercheurs intéressés par une oeuvre encore peu étudiée en France.
Des auteurs venus d'horizons divers (littérature, histoire, études cinématographiques, etc.), dont trois des meilleurs spécialistes actuels (Tom Shippey, Verlyn Flieger, Thomas Honegger), proposent des analyses sur l'histoire de l'oeuvre de Tolkien en France, sur le réseau des langues inventées par l'auteur, sur des épisodes-clés (la Moria, le miroir de Galadriel, les énigmes de Bilbo le Hobbit) ou sur des textes moins connus (L'Histoire de la Terre du Milieu ou Feuille, de Niggle), d'autres articles examinent la question du Mal (ses représentations, ses frontières) et le rôle des monstres dans Le Seigneur des Anneaux, la place de Tolkien dans le genre de la Fantasy moderne, anglaise et française, ou encore la transposition du texte en image - par Peter Jackson, pour son adaptation cinématographique, ou par John Howe, le célèbre illustrateur.
Ces articles, regroupés en quatre parties, " Confluences ", " L'arbre et ses branches ", " L'Ombre noire ", " Tolkien et les arts ", peuvent être lus séparément ou vus globalement comme un état actuel des études en langue française sur l'oeuvre de J. R. R. Tolkien.

Tolkien trente ans apres 1973-2003

FantasySubtitled, Roverandom & Other Classic Faery Stories. Five full-length stories by fantasy master Tolkien, available for the first time in one volume. Illustrated by Alan Lee.

Tales from the Perilous Realm

For the first time ever, a very special edition of the forerunner to  The Lord of the Rings , illustrated throughout in colour by J.R.R. Tolkien himself and with the complete text printed in two colours. The Silmarilli were three perfect jewels, fashioned by Feanor, most gifted of the Elves, and within them was imprisoned the last Light of the Two Trees of Valinor. But the first Dark Lord, Morgoth, stole the jewels and set them within his iron crown, guarded in the impenetrable fortress of Angband in the north of Middle-earth. 
            The Silmarillion  is the history of the rebellion of Feanor and his kindred against the gods, their exile from Valinor and return to Middle-earth, and their war, hopeless despite all the heroism, against the great Enemy. It is the ancient drama to which the characters in  The Lord of the Rings  look back, and in whose events some of them such as Elrond and Galadriel took part. 
           The book also includes several shorter works: the  Ainulindale , a myth of the Creation, and the  Valaquenta , in which the nature and powers of each of the gods is described. The  Akallabeth  recounts the downfall of the great island kingdom of Numenor at the end of the Second Age, and  Of the Rings of Power  tells of the great events at the end of the Third Age, as narrated in  The Lord of the Rings . 
           Tolkien could not publish  The Silmarillion  in his lifetime, as it grew with him, so he would leave it to his son, Christopher Tolkien, to edit the work from many manuscripts and bring his father''s great vision to publishable form, so completing the literary achievement of a lifetime. This special edition presents anew this seminal first step towards mapping out the posthumous publishing of Middle-earth, and the beginning of an illustrious forty years and more than twenty books celebrating his father''s legacy. 
           This definitive new edition includes, by way of an introduction, a letter written by Tolkien in 1951 which provides a brilliant exposition of the earlier Ages, and for the first time in its history is presented with J.R.R. Tolkien''s own paintings and drawings, which reveal the breathtaking grandeur and beauty of his vision of the First Age of Middle-earth.

THE SILMARILLION - ILLUSTRATED EDITION

Continuing the story begun in The Hobbit, this is the first part of Tolkien's epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, featuring an exclusive cover image from the film, the definitive text, and a detailed map of Middle-earth.

Fellowship of the ring - the lord of the rings, part 1

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

While on holiday in 1925, Tolkien's four-year-old son lost his beloved toy dog. To console him, his father improvised a story about a real dog who is magically transformed into a toy and is forced to seek out the wizard who wronged him to be returned to normal. This novella tells the tale.

Roverandom

In the Tale of The Fall of Gondolin are two of the greatest powers in the world. There is Morgoth of the uttermost evil, unseen in this story but ruling over a vast military power from his fortress of Angband. Deeply opposed to Morgoth is Ulmo, second in might only to Manwe, chief of the Valar.  Central to this enmity of the gods is the city of Gondolin, beautiful but undiscoverable. It was built and peopled by Noldorin Elves who, when they dwelt in Valinor, the land of the gods, rebelled against their rule and fled to Middle-earth. Turgon King of Gondolin is hated and feared above all his enemies by Morgoth, who seeks in vain to discover the marvellously hidden city, while the gods in Valinor in heated debate largely refuse to intervene in support of Ulmo''s desires and designs.   Into this world comes Tuor, cousin of Turin, the instrument of Ulmo''s designs. Guided unseen by him Tuor sets out from the land of his birth on the fearful journey to Gondolin, and in one of the most arresting moments in the history of Middle-earth the sea-god himself appears to him, rising out of the ocean in the midst of a storm. In Gondolin he becomes great; he is wedded to Idril, Turgon''s daughter, and their son is Earendel, whose birth and profound importance in days to come is foreseen by Ulmo.   At last comes the terrible ending. Morgoth learns through an act of supreme treachery all that he needs to mount a devastating attack on the city, with Balrogs and dragons and numberless Orcs. After a minutely observed account of the fall of Gondolin, the tale ends with the escape of Tuor and Idril, with the child Earendel, looking back from a cleft in the mountains as they flee southward, at the blazing wreckage of their city. They were journeying into a new story, the Tale of Earendel, which Tolkien never wrote, but which is sketched out in this book from other sources.  Following his presentation of Beren and Luthien Christopher Tolkien has used the same ''history in sequence'' mode in the writing of this edition of The Fall of Gondolin. In the words of J.R.R. Tolkien, it was ''the first real story of this imaginary world'' and, together with Beren and Luthien and The Children of Hurin, he regarded it as one of the three ''Great Tales'' of the Elder Days.
