HarperCollins Morgoth’s Ring

This is simply THE BEST of Tolkien's work. A very high-level, deep dive into the philosophical underpinnings of the fantasy world that Professor Tolkien created. Summation: as Sauron (a much lesser being than Morgoth/Melkor) poured his strength and power into the one ring, so did Melkor pour forth his power into the marring of creation, making all of Arda "Morgoth's Ring." This is simply a stunning piece of literature.Tolkien once wrote "The Lord of the Rings is of course a fundamentally religious and Catholic work; unconsciously so at first, but consciously in the revision." If you ever have any doubt, read "Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth," which is contained within this volume. Any practicing Catholic reading this will definitively see the professor's faith coming through in his work.

Nicht nur eine Sammlung von unveröffentlichten Geschichten: HISTORY OF MIDDLE-EARTH ist die Chronik einer jahrzehntelangen literarischen Sisyphos-Arbeit. Im Zentrum steht die Evolution der Themen und Geschichten durch viele verschiedene, z.T. widersprüchliche oder schwer zu entziffernde Texte und Textfragmente. Wer sich darauf einlässt, wird mit einem tiefgehenden Verständnis für Tolkiens Lebenswerk belohnt. Anspruchsvolle Lektüre, ungeeignet für Leser, die nur neue Geschichten aus dem HdR-Universum suchen.

A detailed examination of the origins of the concepts that provide the genesis of the extensive history of the environment created by Tolkien that is best known in his The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings.

El canto del libro está arrugado, como si lu hubieran abierto mil veces. Si ha estado expuesto en una librería y tiene algún tipo de deterioro externo deberían de venderlo como de segunda mano. Por lo demás todo correcto

Maravilhoso para tirar dúvidas mais avançadas de fãs do universo!
