Smaug certainly looked fast asleep, when Bilbo peeped once more from the entrance. He was just about to step out on to the floor when he caught a sudden thin ray of red from under the drooping lid of Smaug''s left eye. He was only pretending to sleep! He was watching the tunnel entrance!  Whisked from his comfortable hobbit-hole by Gandalf the wizard and a band of dwarves. Bilbo Baggins finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon...

THE HOBBIT

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

Continuing the story begun in The Hobbit, this is the first part of Tolkien's epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, featuring a striking black cover based on Tolkien's own design, the definitive text, and a detailed map of Middle-earth.

Lord of the Rings : The Fellowship 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 hobbit

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.
