Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Before The Silmarillion, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, the earliest myths and legends of Middle-earth and Valinor were laid down in The Book of Lost Tales, written by J.R.R. Tolkien between 1916 and 1920, and compiled by Christopher Tolkien for publication in 1983. The Book of Lost Tales stands at the beginning of the entire conception of Middle-earth and Valinor, for the Tales were the first form of the myths and legends that came to be called The Silmarillion. Embedded in English legend, they are set in the narrative frame of a great westward voyage over the Ocean by a mariner named Eriol to the lonely Isle where the Elves dwelt; from them he learned their true history, the Lost Tales of Elfinesse. In the Tales are found the earliest accounts of Gods and Elves, Dwarves, Balrogs and Orcs; of the Silmarils and the Two Trees of Valinor; of the geography and cosmology of Tolkiens invented world. This first volume in Christopher Tolkiens epic History of Middle-earth series is the perfect gateway for anyone wanting to tread deeper into the rich tapestry of Tolkiens world and discover the evolution of the Middle-earth stories. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Book
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The second of a two-book set that contains the early myths and legends which led to the writing of Tolkiens epic tale of war, The Silmarillion. This second part of The Book of Lost Tales includes the tale of Beren and Luthien, Turin and the Dragon, and the only full narratives of the Necklace of the Dwarves and the Fall of Gondolin, itself the finest and most exciting depiction of a battle that Tolkien ever wrote. Each tale is followed by a commentary in the form of a short essay, together with texts of associated poems, and contains extensive information on names and vocabulary in the earliest Elvish languages. This series of fascinating books has now been repackaged to complement the distinctive and classic style of the black cover A-format paperbacks of The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: gut. Auflage: 9. Einst landete Eriol der Seefahrer im fernen Westen auf Tol Eressa, der Einsamen Insel, wo die Elben wohnen. Gastfreundschaft wurde ihm gern gewährt, denn selten fand ein Sterblicher den verborgenen Weg und keiner kennt die Wunder, welche seit Anbeginn der Welt geschahen. Am abendlichen Feuer lauschte er begierig den Geschichten von Ilúvatar und seinem Weltplan, von der Musik der Ainur, von der Ankunft der Valar und der Gründung ihres Segensreiches, von Melko, der sich mit der Spinnerin der Nacht verbündete und großes Leid über die Welt gebracht hat, von der Ankunft der Elben und der Erbauung Kôrs, der glänzenden Stadt, von den Noldoli und ihrer Unzufriedenheit, von Aules großer Arbeit, von der Verhüllung Valinors und der Ankunft der Menschen. Unzählige Geschichten hat Tolkien erdacht, als er die Götter- und Heldensagen von Mittelerde niederschrieb. Und oft finden sich nur Spuren von ihnen, oft nur fremdklingende Namen wie ferne Echos vergangener Zeiten im »Herrn der Ringe«, der einzigen großen Geschichte, die er vollendet hat. Es waren Geschichten, die damals, als die Hobbits auf Mittelerde lebten, bereits als verloren galten. Im legendären »Buch der verschollenen Geschichten«, dem ältesten Weltentwurf Tolkiens, älter noch als »das Silmarillion«, sind sie aufgezeichnet. Der Zugang ist schwierig, denn die Textsituation ist, da Tolkien die Geschichten häufig mehrfach überarbeitet hat, nicht immer eindeutig. Doch die Mühe, die der Herausgeber Christopher Tolkien auf die Entzifferung und Rekonstruktion verwendet hat, wird reichlich belohnt. Einige der schönsten Geschichten aus Mittelerde werden so zum erstenmal zugänglich, und zum letztenmal kann man die Stimme J.R.R. Tolkiens hören. Der Herausgeber dieses auf zwei Bände angelegten Geschichtsbuches ist der jüngste Sohn J.R.R. Tolkiens, Christopher - ein Mittelerde-Kenner, wie es keinen zweiten gibt. In jahrelanger Arbeit hat er die teilweise fragmentarischen, teilweise nur mühsam zu entziffernden handschriftlichen Notate geordnet, mit ausführlichen Kommentaren (vor allem zur Etymologie der Elbensprachen) versehen und nach dem Plan des Vaters zusammengestellt. Zwei ausführliche Register machen den Band zu einem unentbehrlichen Nachschlagewerk; zwei bisher unveröffentlichte Weltskizzen illustrieren die Erzählungen. In deutscher Sprache. 694 pages. 22,5 x 14,9 x 6,8 cm.
