THE TWO TOWERS - THE LORD OF THE RINGS V.2

Illustrated lord of the ring 2

Le hobbit Bilbo Bessac mène une vie tranquille, sans grande ambition, s'aventurant rarement au-delà de son logis, à Cul-de-Sac. Son existence se trouve soudainement perturbée par l'arrivée du magicien Gandalf qui, accompagné de treize nains, l'entraîne dans un long et improbable périple en direction de la Montagne Solitaire. Ils ont en effet pour dessein d'aller dérober le trésor de Smaug le Puissant, un énorme et très dangereux dragon...

Publié en 1937, ce récit - imaginé par J.R.R. Tolkien pour ses propres enfants - est très vite devenu un classique de la littérature de jeunesse. Cette édition, servie par une nouvelle traduction, enchantera les lecteurs de tous âges, les invitant à découvrir l'univers de la Terre du Milieu, toile de fond de la plupart des oeuvres de J.R.R. Tolkien, notamment du Seigneur des Anneaux.

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

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.
