Krátky popis
The world first publication of a previously unknown work of fantasy
by J.R.R. Tolkien, which tells the powerful story of a doomed young
man who is sold into slavery and who swears revenge on the magician
who killed his father. Kullervo son of Kalervo is perhaps the
darkest and most tragic of all J.R.R. Tolkien's characters.
'Hapless Kullervo', as Tolkien called him, is a luckless orphan boy
with supernatural powers and a tragic destiny. Brought up in the
homestead of the dark magician Untamo, who killed his father,
kidnapped his mother, and who tries three times to kill him when
still a boy, Kullervo is alone save for the love of his twin
sister, Wanona, and guarded by the magical powers of the black dog,
Musti. When Kullervo is sold into slavery he swears revenge on the
magician, but he will learn that even at the point of vengeance
there is no escape from the cruellest of fates. Tolkien wrote that
The Story of Kullervo was 'the germ of my attempt to write legends
of my own', and was 'a major matter in the legends of the First
Age', his Kullervo was the ancestor of Turin Turambar, tragic
incestuous hero of The Silmarillion. In addition to being a
powerful story in its own right, The Story of Kullervo - published
here for the first time with the author's drafts, notes and
lecture-essays on its source-work, The Kalevala, is a foundation
stone in the structure of Tolkien's invented world.
