Krátky popis
J.R.R. Tolkien's writings on the Second Age of Middle-earth,
collected for the first time in one volume. J.R.R.Tolkien famously
described the Second Age of Middle-earth as a 'dark age, and not
very much of its history is (or need be) told'. And for many years
readers would need to be content with the tantalizing glimpses of
it found within the pages of The Lord of the Rings and its
appendices, including the forging of the Rings of Power, the
building of the Barad-dur and the rise of Sauron. It was not until
Christopher Tolkien published The Silmarillion after his father's
death that a fuller story could be told.Although much of the book's
content concerned the First Age of Middle-earth, there were at its
close two key works that revealed the tumultuous events concerning
the rise and fall of the island of Numenor. Raised out of the Great
Sea and gifted to the Men of Middle-earth as a reward for aiding
the angelic Valar and the Elves in the defeat and capture of the
Dark Lord Morgoth, the kingdom became a seat of influence and
wealth, but as the Numenoreans' power increased, the seed of their
downfall would inevitably be sown, culminating in the Last Alliance
of Elves and Men. Even greater insight into the Second Age would be
revealed in subsequent publications, first in Unfinished Tales of
Numenor and Middle-earth, then expanded upon in Christopher
Tolkien's magisterial twelve-volume The History of Middle-earth, in
which he presented and discussed a wealth of further tales written
by his father, many in draft form.Now, adhering to the timeline of
'The Tale of Years' in the appendices to The Lord of the Rings,
editor Brian Sibley has assembled into one comprehensive volume a
new chronicle of the Second Age of Middle-earth, told substantially
in the words of J.R.R. Tolkien from the various published texts,
with new illustrations in watercolour and pencil by the doyen of
Tolkien art, Alan Lee.
