Premier age

A brand new revised edition of the best-selling graphic novel based on the enchanting prelude to The Lord of the Rings.

The Hobbit Graphic Novel

Fellowship of the Ring

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

A new hardback edition with a cover design by Tolkien himself, to complement the popular Hobbit and Lord of the Rings hardbacks. Includes new Preface by J.R.R. Tolkien unique to this edition.  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.

THE SILMARILLION

Bilbo le hobbit

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.

THE SILMARILLION - ILLUSTRATED EDITION

Voici l'histoire des Temps rêvés et des Temps créés par le Premier Être ainsi que des 37 000 années qui s'ensuivirent. Un voyageur venu d'Orient navigua jusqu'à l'Île Solitaire où les Elfes lui narrèrent ces contes. Comment s'éveillèrent les Nains, les Elfes, puis les Hommes ; comment furent allumés les Lampes, les deux Arbres, les trois Silmarils et finalement le Soleil et la Lune ; comment le traître cosmique, Melke - dit Melkor, dit Morgoth -, se rebella, et les liens qui l'enchaînèrent... Toutes ces histoires, et bien d'autres, ont été couchées sur le manuscrit.
 Ouvrez-le avec précaution ; soufflez toute la poussière amassée ; mettez votre jeune doigt sur ces vieilles lettres et lisez.
