Completing Christopher Tolkien’s lifelong achievement as the curator of his father . Tolkien’s manuscripts, The Great Tales features handsome color plates and maps by famed illustrator Alan Lee and a map by Christopher Tolkien. The Children of Húrin was the first standalone story by . Tolkien since the 1977 publication of The Silmarillion . Six thousand years before the One Ring is destroyed, Middle-earth lies under the shadow of the Dark Lord Morgoth. The greatest heroes among elves and men have perished, and all is in darkness and despair. But a new warrior arises, Túrin, son of Húrin, and with his grim band of outlaws begins to turn the tide in the war for Middle-earth—awaiting the day he confronts his destiny and the deadly curse laid upon him. Beren and Lúthien was, or became, an essential element in the evolution of The Silmarillion , the myths and legends of the First Age of the World conceived by . Tolkien. Essential to the story, and never changed, is the fate that shadowed the love of Beren and Lúthien: for Beren was a mortal man, but Lúthien was an immortal elf. Her father, a great elvish lord, in deep opposition to Beren, imposed on him an impossible task that he must perform before he might wed Lúthien. This is the kernel of the legend; and it leads to the supremely heroic attempt of Beren and Lúthien together to rob the greatest of all evil beings, Melkor, called Morgoth, the Black Enemy, of a Silmaril. The Fall of Gondolin completes the set and tells the story of the legendary Elven city hidden within Middle-earth. Evil Morgoth seeks to destroy the last realm of his Elven enemies while Ulmo, Lord of the Waters, tries to protect it. At the core of the tale is Tuor, cousin of Túrin, who becomes great in Gondolin and marries, Idril, daughter of Turgon, king of Gondolin, and fathers a child, Eärendel. When an act of supreme treachery allows Morgoth to attack Gondolin, Tuor and his family must try to flee the blazing wreckage, for the fate of all of Middle-earth depends on Eärendel’s survival. Each hardcover volume includes color plates and pencil drawings by award-winning illustrator Alan Lee together with a black and white map drawn by Christopher Tolkien.
Book was in excellent new condition as described. Book arrived in great shape. Excellent overall cost. There was a shipping problem however, there were 3 books labeled as shipping together, but 2 separate packages were used and both had same tracking number so first package triggered delivered status on all 3 books even though only 2 arrived, the second package with book 3 came next day. So if you dont get one of your books when it says delivered you might wait a couple days for the 2nd package.
On the hunt for this particular cover art, the seller was very helpful with guidance on how to confirm through an ISBN search with the publisher. That solidified my choice to purchase from this seller. The book was packaged well for shipping and protection during travels. I'm extremely pleased with the pricing coupled with the mint condition of the book and the fast shipping (considering the hinderances caused by the current winter conditions). Great transaction and I will shop with them again!
Great insight into the demonic as well as the spiritual battle daily! The transaction and communication could not have been better!! Let's pray to encourage common sense living and doing what is right and good, following truth and justice. Supersonic shipping at extremely low cost, positively perfect packing, duly described in detail. Super stellar seller - NONE better! 👍👍👍👍👍 🚲🚲🚲😉👍 Maranatha!!!+!!! P l e a s e, pray for world peace. It is needed urgently. 🙏💖🙏
