Krátky popis
J.R.R. Tolkien's writings on the Second Age of Middle-earth,
collected for the first time in one deluxe slipcased edition.
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.
