Painstakingly restored from Tolkien's manuscripts, this is the first complete, standalone Middle-earth book by J.R.R. Tolkien since The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

The children of hurin

The third 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an enthralling account of the writing of the Book of the Century which contains many additional scenes and includes the unpublished Epilogue in its entirety.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 War of the Ring takes up the story of The Lord of the Rings with the Battle of Helm''s Deep and the drowning of Isengard by the Ents, continues with the journey of Frodo, Sam and Gollum to the Pass of Cirith Ungol, describes the war in Gondor, and ends with the parley between Gandalf and the ambassador of the Dark Lord before the Black Gate of Mordor.  The book is illustrated with plans and drawings of the changing conceptions of Orthanc, Dunharrow, Minas Tirith and the tunnels of Shelob''s Lair.  This series of fascinating books has now been repackaged to complement the distinctive and classic style of the ''black cover'' A-format paperbacks of The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales.

THE WAR OF THE RING - HISTORY OF MIDDLE-EARTH V.8

Dix ans après les Contes Perdus, traduits par Adam Tolkien, le petit-fils de l'auteur, la parution des
Lais du Beleriand poursuit la série de L'Histoire de la Terre du Milieu qui permet au lecteur français
de suivre la naissance de l'univers de J.R.R. Tolkien. Ce troisième volume, réclamé depuis
longtemps par les lecteurs posait des problèmes de traduction très particuliers en raison du
caractère poétique des textes qu'il rassemble. L'association d'une traductrice spécialisée en poésie
et d'un traducteur spécialiste de Tolkien a permis de résoudre ces difficultés et de présenter un
texte exceptionnel.
L'Histoire de la Terre du Milieu parvient à un moment crucial de la création de la mythologie de
J.R.R Tolkien. Le lecteur découvre des poèmes essentiels, rapportant les histoires de Túrin et de
Lúthien, deux héros centraux du Silmarillion et des Contes Perdus. Le Lai des enfants de Húrin
raconte la vie tragique de Túrin Turambar ; le Lai de Leithian (présenté ici en édition bilingue)
décrit la quête du Silmaril par Beren et Lúthien et leur face à face avec Morgoth. Ce volume
comporte également un texte de C.S. Lewis sur le Lai de Leithian ainsi que des poèmes
fragmentaires (Fuite des Noldoli, Lai d'Eärendel et Lai de la Chute de Gondolin) auxquels Le
Silmarillion fait régulièrement allusion mais que les lecteurs francophones n'avaient jamais pu lire.
A l'instar des autres volumes, le commentaire et les explications de Christopher Tolkien encadrent
les textes de son père pour décrire l'évolution de l'Histoire des Jours Anciens, qui constituent le
décor du Seigneur des Anneaux.

Les lais du beleriand

Unavailable for more than 70 years, this early but important work is published for the first time with Tolkien's 'Corrigan' poems and other supporting material, including a prefatory note by Christopher Tolkien.

 Set 'In Britain's land beyond the seas' during the Age of Chivalry, The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun tells of a childless Breton Lord and Lady (the 'Aotrou' and 'Itroun' of the title) and the tragedy that befalls them when Aotrou seeks to remedy their situation with the aid of a magic potion obtained from a corrigan, or malevolent fairy. When the potion succeeds and Itroun bears twins, the corrigan returns seeking her fee, and Aotrou is forced to choose between betraying his marriage and losing his life.

 Coming from the darker side of J. R. R. Tolkien's imagination, The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun, together with the two shorter 'Corrigan' poems that lead up to it and which are also included, was the outcome of a comparatively short but intense period in Tolkien's life when he was deeply engaged with Celtic, and particularly Breton, myth and legend.

 Originally written in 1930 and long out of print, this early but seminal work is an important addition to the non-Middle-earth portion of his canon and should be set alongside Tolkien's other retellings of myth and legend, The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún, The Fall of Arthur and The Story of Kullervo. Like these works, it belongs to a small but important corpus of his ventures into 'real-world' mythologies, each of which in its own way would be a formative influence on his own legendarium.

THE SILMARILLION

Available for the first time in one volume, this is the definitive collection of Tolkien''s five acclaimed modern classic ''fairie'' tales in the vein of ''The Hobbit'', fully corrected and reset for this edition and all beautifully illustrated in pencil by the award-winning artist, Alan Lee.The five tales are written with the same skill, quality and charm that made The Hobbit a classic. Largely overlooked because of their short lengths, they are finally together in a volume which reaffirms Tolkien''s place as a master storyteller for readers young and old.- Roverandom is a toy dog who, enchanted by a sand sorcerer, gets to explore the world and encounter strange and fabulous creatures.- Farmer Giles of Ham is fat and unheroic, but - having unwittingly managed to scare off a short-sighted giant - is called upon to do battle when a dragon comes to town;- The Adventures of Tom Bombadil tells in verse of Tom''s many adventures with hobbits, princesses, dwarves and trolls;- Leaf by Niggle recounts the strange adventures of the painter Niggle who sets out to paint the perfect tree;- Smith of Wootton Major journeys to the Land of Faery thanks to the magical ingredients of the Great Cake of the Feast of Good Children.This new collection is fully illustrated throughout by Oscar-winning artist, Alan Lee, who provides a wealth of pencil drawings to bring the stories to life as he did so memorably for The Hobbit and The Children of Hurin. Alan also provides an Afterword, in which he opens the door into illustrating Tolkien''s world.World-renowned Tolkien author and expert, Tom Shippey, takes the reader through the hidden links in the tales to Tolkien''s Middle-earth in his Introduction, and recounts their history and themes.Lastly, included as an appendix is Tolkien''s most famous essay, "On Fairy-stories", in which he brilliantly discusses fairy-stories and their relationship to fantasy.Taken together, this rich collection of new and unknown work from the author of The Children of Hurin will provide the reader with a fascinating journey into lands as wild and strange as Middle-earth.
