THE LORD OF THE RINGS - 60TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION BOXED SET

The world first publication of a previously unknown work by J.R.R. Tolkien, which tells the extraordinary story of the final days of England's legendary hero, King Arthur.

The fall of arthur

The first of two companion volumes which documents the later writing of The Silmarillion, Tolkien's epic tale of war.

 After The Lord of the Rings was at last achieved, J R R Tolkien turned his attention once again to 'the Matter of the Elder Days'. The text of the Annals of Aman, the 'Blessed Land' in the far West, is given in full; while in writings hitherto unknown is seen the nature of the problems that Tolkien explored in his later years, as new and radical ideas, portending upheaval in the old narratives, emerged at the heart of the mythology, and as the destinies of Men and Elves, mortals and immortals became of central significance, together with a vastly enlarged perception of the evil of Melkor, the Shadow upon Arda.

 The second part of this history of the later The Silmarillion is concerned with developments in the legends of Beleriand after the completion of The Lord of the Rings.

Morgoth’s Ring

A new B-format edition of this novel, designed to take fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings deeper into the myths and legends of Middle-earth  The Silmarillion is an account of the Elder Days, of the First Age of Tolkien''s world. 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 tales of The Silmarillion are set in an age when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle-Earth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the recovery of the Silmarils, the jewels containing the pure light of Valinor.  Included in the book are several shorter works. The Ainulindale is a myth of the Creation and in the Valaquenta 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.  This pivotal work features the revised, corrected text and includes, by way of an introduction, a fascinating letter written by Tolkien in 1951 in which he gives a full explanation of how he conceived the early Ages of Middle-earth.

THE SILMARILLION

" 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

Roverandom

Voici l'histoire des temps rêvés par le premier etre avant le commencement des ages, des temps créés par le premier etre à partir de l'eveil des dieux et des 37 000 années qui s'ensuivirent.
 Un voyageur venu d'orient navigua jusqu'à l'ile solitaire où les elfes lui contèrent ces contes, la tradition s'en est maintenue jusqu'à nos jours, ou peu s'en faut. comment les valar chantèrent le monde ; comment s'éveillèrent les nains, puis les elfes, puis les hommes ; comment furent allumées les lampes, les deux arbres, les trois silmarils et finalement le soleil et la lune, lumière des trois ages ; comment le traître cosmique, melke -dit melkor, dit morgoth - se rebella, et les liens qui l'enchaînèrent ; comment valinor fut construit par l'action des valar, puis assombri ; comment s'enfuirent les noldoli, qu'on appela depuis les noldor ; toutes ces histoires, et beaucoup d'autres, ont été couchées sur le manuscrit.
 Ouvrez-le avec précaution ; soufflez d'une haleine légère toute la poussière amassée sur les pages ; mettez votre jeune doigt sur ces vieilles lettres et lisez.

Livre des contes perdus t.1

Features a tale of adventure, undertaken by a company of dwarves in search of dragon-guarded gold. A reluctant partner in this perilous quest is Bilbo Baggins, a comfort-loving unambitious hobbit. Encounters with trolls, goblins, dwarves, elves, giant spiders, and conversations with the dragon, are just some of the adventures that befall Bilbo.

THE HOBBIT

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 races 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.  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.
