Anderson Editeur : London : Unwin Hyman Année de publication : 1988 Importance : x, 335 p Présentation : couv. ill. en coul. Format : 28 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 0-04-440337-2 Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:828 English literature Résumé : Honoring the 50th anniversary of the U.S. publication of The Hobbit, this edition offers more than the expected annotation of names, chronology, sources, and commentary (although literary criticism and cross-references to Lord of the Rings are limited). There is a fine introduction to the book's inception and reception, a rune-key, both primary and secondary bibliographies, a wealth of black-and-white illustrations from foreign editions and from Tolkien's own hand, and an appendix detailing all text revisions in the many U.S. and English editions. Though there are omissions (e.g., the Biblical and other traditional English sources for Tolkien's prose style), the scholar and general reader alike should find this commemorative edition both instructive and pleasing.

The Silmarillion / J. R. R. Tolkien

Public ISBD Titre : The Silmarillion Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : J. R. R. Tolkien ; Christopher Tolkien Editeur : London : Allen & Unwin Année de publication : 1977 Importance : 365 p., [1] leaf of plates Présentation : couv. ill. en coul. Format : 23 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 0-04-823139-8 Note générale : Includes index. Langues : Anglais Mots-clés : Middle Earth (Imaginary place) : Fiction  Fantasy fiction  English. Index. décimale : 823/.9/12 Résumé : Set in a time far earlier than Tolkien's master works, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, this is the epic history of the elves, and the grand story of the creation of Tolkien's magical world. The Lord of the Rings narrated the great events at the end of the Third Age; but the tales of The Silmarillion are legends deriving from a much deeper past, when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle-earth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the recovery of the Silmarils. Never published in the author's lifetime, The Silmarillion is an essential compendium for all Tolkien fans. It will be published in five consecutive volumes, each completely unabridged. The series contains not only the Quenta Silmarillion, but four other short works: the Ainulindale, Valaquenta, Akallabeth and Of the Rings of Power. The Silmarillion [texte imprimé] / J. R. R.
