Una nueva crónica de la Segunda Edad de la Tierra Media con nuevas ilustraciones en acuarela y lápiz del decano del arte de Tolkien, Alan Lee.
J.R.R. Tolkien describió la Segunda Edad de la Tierra Media como una "edad oscura, y no se cuenta (o no es necesario) mucho de su historia". Y durante muchos años, los lectores tendrían que contentarse con las señales que se encuentran en El Señor de los Anillos y sus apéndices, incluida la forja de los Anillos de Poder, la construcción de Barad-dûr y el surgimiento de Sauron.
No fue hasta que Christopher Tolkien publicó El Silmarillion después de la muerte de su padre que se pudo contar una historia más completa. Aunque gran parte del contenido del libro se refería a la Primera Edad de la Tierra Media, al final había dos obras clave que revelaban los tumultuosos acontecimientos relacionados con el auge y la caída de la isla de Númenor.
Surgido del Gran Mar y regalado a los Hombres de la Tierra Media como recompensa por ayudar a los angelicales Valar y los Elfos en la derrota y captura del Señor Oscuro Morgoth, el reino se convirtió en un centro de influencia y riqueza; pero a medida que aumentaba el poder de los Númenóreanos, inevitablemente se sembraría la semilla de su caída, que culminaría en la Última Alianza de Elfos y Hombres.
Se revelaría una visión aún mayor de la Segunda Edad en publicaciones posteriores, primero en Cuentos inconclusos de Númenor y la Tierra Media (Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth), luego ampliados en el magistral libro de doce volúmenes de Christopher Tolkien La Historia de la Tierra Media (The History of Middle-earth), en el que presentó una gran cantidad de cuentos escritos por su padre, muchos en forma de borrador.
Ahora, siguiendo la cronología de “La historia de los años” (“The Tale of Years”) en los apéndices de El Señor de los Anillos (The Lord of the Rings), el editor Brian Sibley ha reunido en un solo libro una nueva crónica de la Segunda Edad de la Tierra Media, contada principalmente con las propias palabras de Tolkien tomadas de sus textos publicados.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONA new chronicle of the Second Age of Middle-earth with new watercolor and pencil illustrations by Tolkien’s artistic dean, Alan Lee.
J.R.R. Tolkien described the Second Age of Middle-earth as “a dark age, and not much of its history is (or need be) told.” For many years, readers had to rely on hints found in El Señor de los Anillos (The Lord of the Rings) and its appendices, including the forging of the Rings of Power, the building of Barad-dûr, and the rise of Sauron.
It wasn’t until Christopher Tolkien published El Silmarillion (The Silmarillion) after his father’s death that a fuller story could be told. Although much of the book focused on the First Age of Middle-earth, two key works at the end revealed the turbulent events surrounding the rise and fall of the island of Númenor.
Rising from the Great Sea and gifted to the Men of Middle-earth as a reward for aiding the angelic Valar and the Elves in defeating and capturing the Dark Lord Morgoth, the kingdom became a center of influence and wealth; but as the Númenóreans’ power grew, the seeds of their downfall were inevitably sown, culminating in the Last Alliance of Elves and Men.
A broader vision of the Second Age would emerge in later publications, first in Cuentos inconclusos de Númenor y la Tierra Media (Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth), then expanded in Christopher Tolkien’s masterful twelve-volume series La Historia de la Tierra Media (The History of Middle-earth), which presented a wealth of stories written by his father, many in draft form.
Now, following the chronology of “La historia de los años” (“The Tale of Years”) in the appendices of El Señor de los Anillos (The Lord of the Rings), editor Brian Sibley has compiled a new chronicle of the Second Age of Middle-earth, told primarily in Tolkien’s own words drawn from his published texts.
