THE LORD OF THE RINGS ILLUSTRATED - 3 IN 1 ANNIVERSARY EDITION

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

Dans un magnifique poème de mille vers, J.R.R. Tolkien propose une version sombre de l'histoire du roi Arthur, roi guerrier et conquérant : à la fidélité de Gauvain répond la trahison de Mordret, envoûté par une Guenièvre énigmatique, elle-même objet de passion pour un Lancelot tourmenté.

Christopher Tolkien éclaire ensuite ce texte, qui est longtemps resté un mystère, en montrant comme il dialogue avec les versions médiévales anglaises et françaises de la légende arthurienne, mais aussi avec le monde du Silmarillion.
Bien qu'incomplet, le poème, présenté ici dans une forme achevée, mais aussi dans son évolution, marquera le lecteur par sa force, sa dimension tragique, et les liens qu'il suscite avec l'univers inventé par Tolkien.

La chute d'Arthur

La popularité de J. R. R Tolkien repose aujourd'hui principalement sur la création de la Terre du Milieu et sur son oeuvre majeure, Le Seigneur des Anneaux. Cependant, l'homme et son travail sont composés d'une multitude de facettes. J. R. R Tolkien était avant tout un spécialiste du Vieil et du Moyen Anglais internationalement respecté. Philologue de profession et par nature, il n'a pas seulement étudié les langues, il a créé la sienne. Auteur visionnaire, il a su inventer un autre monde, le remplissant de langues, d'alphabets, de personnages, de créatures, de mythes et de légendes. Artiste talentueux, il a illustré ses propres oeuvres.
Trésors de Tolkien est un court texte contenant une soixantaine d'illustrations.
