J.R.R. Tolkiens ganz persönlicher Kampf gegen die Zerstörung der Umwelt Mit Originalillustrationen von J.R.R. Tolkien Nahe der alten Stadt Bovadium erfand einst ein Daemon die Motores. Die begeisterten Menschen wurden bald zu ihren Sklaven. Mit diesem Buch beweist Tolkien, dass er erfasste, was die Menschen erst später begriffen: die Katastrophe, die mit der Automobilisierung von Städten auf uns zurollte. Anfang der 1950er Jahre tobte in Oxford eine Kontroverse, und mitten drin J.R.R. Tolkien. Die nahe gelegenen Morris-Automobilwerke hatten den Verkehr ins Unerträgliche ansteigen lassen, und neue Straßen drohten, den Charakter der Universitätsstadt zu zerstören. Als Reaktion darauf verfasste Tolkien eine satirische Fantasy-Geschichte – Die Bovadium Fragmente –, die erzählen, wie schreckliche Maschinen die Stadt erobern. Und die Motores verstopfen die Straßen mit Lärm und Gestank, bis alles Leben zum Stillstand kommt. Hier zeigt sich Tolkien von seiner ironischen, gelehrten und doch auch tragischen Seite. Die von Christopher Tolkien edierte Ausgabe aus Tolkiens Nachlass ist mit Bildern von seiner Hand, zeitgenössischen Fotos und Plänen versehen. Sie enthält einen exclusiven Essay von Richard Ovenden, dem Direktor der Bodleian Library, zur Geschichte Oxfords in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts.

J.R.R. Tolkiens überwältigende Erfindung um Bilbo Beutlin und seinen Freund und Beschützer Gandalf zählt zu den beliebtesten Büchern aller Zeiten. Bilbo Beutlin ist ein ruhiger und zufriedener Hobbit, der seinen beschaulichen Alltag ganz ohne Abenteuer liebt. Sein Leben steht mit einem Mal Kopf, als ihn der Zauberer Gandalf aufsucht, um ihn für die gefährliche Unternehmung von dreizehn Zwergen zu gewinnen, die darin besteht, einen vor langer Zeit gestohlenen Schatz wiederzufinden. Bilbo muss sich mit dem Zwergentrupp auf eine Reise voller Gefahren machen. Auf ihrem Weg lauern hungrige Trolle und böse Orks, und Bilbo hat eine Begegnung mit dem hinterlistigen Gollum. Am Ende steht er allein dem Wächter des Schatzes gegenüber, dem schrecklichsten Drachen von ganz Mittelerde. In den schönsten Farben, den teils heimeligsten und teils düstersten Landschaften und mit den lustigsten und gefährlichsten Wesen illustriert liegt der Fantasy-Klassiker neu vor.

»Höher sei der Wille, das Herz kühner, der Mut umso mehr, wie unsre Macht schwindet.« England im 10. Jahrhundert. Bei der Stadt Maldon trifft ein Wikingerheer auf die Verteidiger von Essex. Hiervon erzählt ein altenglisches Gedicht, das kurz nach der Schlacht entstand. Es inspirierte J.R.R. Tolkien zu einem eigenen Versdrama: Die Heimkehr von Beorhtnoth Beorhthelms Sohn. Es ist Nacht. Zwei Männer stolpern über das Schlachtfeld. Der eine ein junger Bursche mit dem Kopf voller Träume. Der andere ein alter Bauer, der schon viele Kämpfe gesehen hat. Während sie im Dunkeln nach der Leiche ihres Herrn suchen, erkunden sie im Gespräch die Spannungen zwischen Jugend und Alter, von heidnischer und christlicher Weltsicht, die Ideale von Treue und Gemeinschaft und die Frage, was Heldentum bedeutet.

Prawdziwa skarbnica wiedzy na temat Śródziemia, oferująca czytelnikom możliwość spojrzenia przez ramię profesora Tolkiena w chwili, gdy odkrywał on swój świat Pierwsza w historii publikacja ostatnich pism Tolkiena na temat Śródziemia, obejmująca szeroki zakres tematów i wątków, skompilowana i zredagowana przez Carla F. Hostettera, jednego z największych znawców twórczości pisarza. Natura Śródziemia to niezbędna lektura dla wszystkich, którzy chcą dowiedzieć się więcej o wspaniałym świecie, nad którym pisarz pracował przez całe życie. Dla autora Władcy Pierścieni Śródziemie było częścią nowego fantastycznego uniwersum, które należy wykreować w każdym najdrobniejszym nawet szczególe. Zebrane w niniejszym tomie szkice ujawniają, że wraz z rozrastaniem się tego świata Tolkien starał się lepiej zrozumieć swoje wyjątkowe dzieło, doprecyzowując i zgłębiając przeróżne tematy. Znajdziemy więc w książce zagadnienia tak rozległe i złożone, jak metafizyka elfickiej nieśmiertelności czy pochodzenie mocy Valarów, ale także bardziej przyziemne, jak wygląd mieszkańców różnych krain i opis skrzydlatych bestii Númenoru, geografia rzek i wzgórz Gondoru, a nawet odpowiedź na pytanie, kto i dlaczego w świecie Śródziemia nosi brody! „Ten tom potwierdza, że Tolkien był największym twórcą mitów XX wieku i że kiedyś jego mitologia zasłużenie zrówna się rangą z dokonaniami Homera, Wergiliusza i Dantego”. Bradley J. Birzer, „National Review”

После публикации "Сильмариллиона" "Дети Хурина" — это следующая работа Кристофера Толкина как редактора и хранителя рукописей своего отца, Дж. Р. Р. Толкина. Книга является третьей из Трех Великих Сказаний Древних Дней и, как и "Падение Гондолина" и "Берен и Лутия", содержит иллюстрации Алана Ли. Шесть тысяч лет до уничтожения Единого Кольца Средиземье преследуется Морготом, Первым Темным Властелином, господином и хозяином Саурона. Хурин, могущественный воин человеческой расы, отказывается предать Эльфов, и поэтому он и его семья прокляты. Таким образом, судьбы Тури́на и его сестры Ниэнор трагически переплетаются. В эпическом и трагическом тоне повествование вдохновлено греческой, финской и скандинавской мифологиями. Его персонажи, узнаваемо человеческие, стремятся сопротивляться, даже не имея ни малейшей надежды на победу.

Более 100 лет назад на Рождество отец, сидя у камина и глядя на своего ребенка, который жаждал услышать историю, придумал написать письма от имени Санта-Клауса. Он писал их более двадцати лет. Первое письмо с нарисованными вручную иллюстрациями и тщательно подобранными подарками было положено в рождественский чулок и вручено его трехлетнему старшему ребенку. С тех пор мир, наполненный отцовской любовью и невинностью, начал прорастать в сердцах детей... В этом мире живут говорящие белые медведи и талантливые эльфы. Более 100 лет спустя эта книга, полная отцовской любви, вместе с историями и иллюстрациями о северном Санта-Клаусе, стала любимой книгой для чтения перед сном для маленькой девочки.

Painstakingly restored from Tolkien's manuscripts, this epic tale of Beren and Lúthien is presented as a continuous and standalone story, reuniting fans with the rich landscape and creatures of Middle-earth. Central to the evolution of The Silmarillion, this narrative was crafted by Tolkien in 1917, shortly after his return from the battle of the Somme. The story revolves around the love between Beren, a mortal man, and Lúthien, an immortal Elf, whose union is threatened by her father's fierce opposition. He imposes an impossible task on Beren, which sets the stage for their heroic quest to steal a Silmaril from Morgoth, the greatest of all evil beings. Christopher Tolkien endeavors to extract this tale from the larger work in which it was originally embedded, showcasing its evolution through various drafts. By presenting the original form alongside later prose and verse passages, he illustrates how the narrative transformed over time. This compilation reveals lost aspects of the story, enhancing the reader's understanding of its depth and significance within the broader mythology of Middle-earth.

Set in the expansive territories of Britain's colonies, the narrative explores the lives of characters navigating the complexities of colonialism and identity. It delves into themes of adventure, conflict, and the cultural exchanges that occur in this diverse landscape. The story highlights the struggles and triumphs of individuals as they confront the challenges of their environment and their relationships with one another, providing a rich tapestry of experiences that reflect the historical context of the time.

Published for the very first time in its own volume, Tolkien's remarkable tale about a painter whose obsession with detail prevents him from finishing his great work. Niggle is a painter. Not a very successful one, partly because he has so many other things to do. For some time he has been obsessed with one particular canvas - a curious picture of a tree with a vast landscape stretching out behind it. The painting keeps getting bigger and bigger, but Niggle has a journey to make. In 1939 Tolkien was despairing of ever bringing his great work The Lord of the Rings to a conclusion. One morning he woke up with the story Leaf by Niggle complete in his mind and wrote it down. This poignant story, about an artist on a curious journey, is often seen as an allegory of the writer's own creative process and life. Published to coincide with a new touring stage production of the story, this is the first time the story has been published in its own volume, enabling readers to savour one of Tolkien's most elegant, haunting and least-known short stories.

Opowieść o Kullervo” to niepublikowana dotąd fantastyczna historia J.R.R. Tolkiena, której bohater jest jednym z najciemniejszych i najbardziej tragicznych stworzonych przez niego postaci. Kullervo, określany przez Tolkiena jako „nieszczęsny”, dorasta w gospodarstwie wuja Untamo, który zabił jego ojca, porwał matkę i wielokrotnie usiłował go zabić. Młody chłopak, pełen gniewu i goryczy, znajduje jedynie wsparcie u siostry Wanony, a jego losy strzeże czarodziejski pies Musti. Untamo, obawiając się bratanka, sprzedaje go jako służącego kowalowi Asemo, gdzie Kullervo doświadcza kolejnych upokorzeń. W odwecie doprowadza do śmierci żony kowala. Postanawia wrócić do domu, by zemścić się na zabójcy ojca, jednak jego przeznaczenie prowadzi go na mroczną ścieżkę ku tragicznemu finałowi. Tolkien uznał „Opowieść o Kullervo” za zalążek swoich pierwszych legend, a postać Kullervo stała się pierwowzorem Túrina Turambara z „Opowieści o dzieciach Húrina”. Publikacja zawiera rękopis Tolkiena, notatki oraz szkice dotyczące fińskiego eposu „Kalevala”, który był głównym źródłem inspiracji. Verlyn Flieger, znana badaczka twórczości Tolkiena, przedstawia związki tej opowieści z jego innymi dziełami. J.R.R. Tolkien (1892–1973) jest autorem klasycznych powieści, które sprzedały się w milionach egzemplarzy na całym świecie.

Tolkiena, autora wszech czasów.

"Властелин колец" — это длинный фэнтезийный роман, написанный английским профессором Дж. Р. Р. Толкином. Это произведение является продолжением его предыдущего романа "Хоббит", но имеет более сложный сюжет. Толкин работал над ним с 1937 по 1949 год, а книга была издана в 1954-1955 годах в трех томах из-за своей длины. Роман рассказывает о вымышленной земле под названием Средиземье, где обитают различные расы, такие как люди, эльфы, хоббиты, гномы, маги и орки. Сердцем истории является Единственное кольцо, созданное темным владыкой Сауроном. Сюжет начинается в мирной стране Шир и охватывает различные части Средиземья, включая события Войны за кольцо, через призму персонажа хоббита по имени Фродо Бэггинс.

A new expanded edition of Tolkien's most famous, and most important essay, which defined his conception of fantasy as a literary form, and which led to the writing of The Lord of the Rings. Accompanied by a critical study of the history and writing of the text.

Für RETROJÄGER und PLATTENSAMMLER Die Geschichte von Bilbo Beutlin ist längst bekannt: Ein sympathischer kleiner Hobbit bricht zu einem großen Abenteuer auf – und liefert so die Vorgeschichte zu "Der Herr der Ringe", von Tolkien 1937 veröffentlicht. Doch was jetzt kommt, ist neu, ist unerwartet, ist einzigartig: Das "Hobbit"-Hörspiel auf Schallplatte! Diese nummerierte Sammleredition mit den beliebten Illustrationen von John Howe und in höchster Klangqualität mit 180g Vinyl lässt Liebhaber-Herzen höher schlagen. (7 Schallplatten, Laufzeit: 4h 30)

This world-first publication reveals a previously unknown work by J.R.R. Tolkien, chronicling the final days of England's legendary hero, King Arthur. Tolkien's only foray into Arthurian legends showcases his mastery of Old English alliterative metre, imbuing the narrative with a profound sense of fate and gravity. The poem explores Arthur's overseas expedition to distant lands, Guinevere's escape from Camelot, and the climactic sea-battle upon Arthur's return, alongside the treachery of Mordred and Lancelot's inner turmoil in France. Although Tolkien began this ambitious narrative in the early 1930s and shared it with a friend who urged him to complete it, he ultimately abandoned it, likely around 1937, coinciding with the publication of The Hobbit and the early stages of The Lord of the Rings. In a 1955 letter, he expressed hope to finish the poem, but that aspiration remained unfulfilled. Accompanying the text are numerous manuscript pages revealing the poem's evolving structure, along with narrative synopses and intriguing notes that hint at connections between the Arthurian tale and The Silmarillion, as well as the unresolved love story of Lancelot and Guinevere.
