Beren and Lúthien - Hardcover Edition

A dramatic fate overshadows the love of Beren and Lúthien. She belongs to the immortal elves, while he is a mortal. In his deep dislike for all humans, her father, a great elven lord, imposes an impossible task on Beren: before he may marry Lúthien, he must steal a Silmaril from Melkor's crown. The reader can expect Tolkien's most beautiful story. Especially for this edition, the well-known Tolkien artist Alan Lee has created numerous color paintings and drawings. Undaunted, Beren sets off to win the Silmaril for his love. Then Melkor, also called Morgoth the Black Enemy, sends the most terrible creatures – ruthless orcs and cunning wolves – against Beren. But the love between Lúthien and Beren literally reaches beyond death. This story, without exaggeration the most beautiful of Tolkien's, is part of the 'Silmarillion', the 'Book of Lost Tales' and the 'Lay of Leithian' in an unfinished form. Christopher Tolkien has tried to extract the story of Beren and Lúthien from the extensive work in which it is embedded. He tells it in his father's words: first in its original form, then according to later texts. Thus it is presented in its change. The texts presented here for the first time reveal aspects that have been lost both in terms of plot and narrative immediacy.

The Fall of Gondolin - Hardcover

Two of the greatest powers of Middle-earth face each other in 'The Fall of Gondolin': on one side Morgoth, the embodiment of evil and on the other Ulmo, the lord of the seas, lakes and rivers under the sky. At the centre of their conflict is the hidden elven city of Gondolin. Turgon, King of Gondolin, is hated by Morgoth more than anything else. For a long time, the dark lord has been trying to find and destroy Gondolin, but in vain.Into this world comes Tuor and becomes the tool of Ulmo's plan. Guided by him, Tuor sets off on the dangerous journey to Gondolin and reaches the hidden city. There he marries Idril, Turgon's daughter. Their son is Earendil, who is destined to become the most famous sailor of the First Age. Through a vile traitor, Morgoth learns how he can launch a devastating attack against the city, with Balrogs, dragons and countless orcs. The doom takes its course. In this edition, Christopher Tolkien uses a similar depiction of the development of the story as in 'Beren and Lúthien'. For J.R.R. Tolkien, 'The Fall of Gondolin' was the first real story from this imaginary world, and like 'Beren and Lúthien' and 'The Children of Húrin' he counted it among the three Great Stories of the First Age of Middle-earth. The Fall of Gondolin was edited by Christopher Tolkien and completes the three great stories that began in 2007 with 'The Children of Húrin' and continued in 2017 with 'Beren and Lúthien'. This new volume includes numerous colour plates by the famous Tolkien artist Alan Lee.
