J. R. R. Tolkien

In foramine terrae habitabat hobbitus. (‘In a hole in the ground, there lived a hobbit.')

The Hobbit, is one of the world's most popular classic stories, appealing to adults as much as to the children for whom J.R.R. Tolkien first wrote the book. Translated worldwide into more than 60 modern languages, now Hobbitus Ille is finally published in Latin, and will be of interest to all those who are studying the language, whether at school or at a higher level.

In the great tradition of publishing famous children's books in Latin, professional classicist and lifelong Tolkien fan Mark Walker provides a deft translation of the entire book. His attention to detail, including the transforming Tolkien's songs into a variety of classical and rhythmic Latin metres, will fascinate and entertain all Latinists, who are rarely given such an opportunity to read Latin simply for the pleasure of reading.

Hobbitus Ille

The Lord of the Rings

The Return of the King

J. R. R. Tolkien'in en önemli çalışması olarak kabul edilen Silmarillion onun yarattığı dünyanın özüdür ve tüm eserlerinin üzerine yerleşebileceği bir yapı oluşturur. Elinizdeki kitap ise güç yüzüklerinin üretimini anlatır.
Eşsiz Noldor ustaları pek çok yüzük dövdüler.
Üç Yüzük Elf Efendileri'ne;
Yedi Yüzük Cüce Hükümdarlarına;
Dokuz Yüzük ise İnsanoğullarına.
Onları bu işe yönlendiren Sauron'un yüreğindeki düşüncelerse karanlıktı. Gizliden gizliye tüm yüzüklere hükmedecek olan Tek Yüzük'ü dövdü.

Nueva edición de la versión del maestro Tolkien de la gran leyenda nórdica. Hace muchos años, Tolkien compuso su propia versión, que se publica ahora por primera vez, de la gran leyenda de la antigüedad nórdica, en dos poemas relacionados entre sí a los que dio los títulos de La nueva balada de los völsungos y La nueva balada de Gudrún. En La balada de los völsungos se relata la historia del gran héroe Sigurd, el cazador del más célebre de los dragones, Fáfnir, de cuyo tesoro se apoderó; del despertar de la valquiria Brynhild, que dormía rodeada por un muro de fuego, y de sus esponsales; y de su llegada a la corte de los grandes príncipes a quienes llamaban los niflungos (o nibelungos), de quienes se convirtió en hermano de sangre. En esta corte nació un gran amor, pero también un gran odio, alimentado por el poder de la hechicera, madre de los nibelungos, iniciada en las artes de la magia, de las transformaciones y de las pociones de olvido. En escenas de dramática intensidad, de confusión de identidades, pasiones frustradas, celos y amargas luchas, la tragedia de Sigurd y Brynhild, del nibelungo Gunnar y su hermana Gudrún, se hace más intensa hasta su final con la muerte de Sigurd a manos de sus hermanos de sangre, el suicidio de Brynhild, y la desesperación de Gudrún. En La balada de Gudrún se relata su destino tras la muerte de Sigurd, su matrimonio en contra de su voluntad con el poderoso Atli, soberano de los hunos (el Atila histórico), el asesinato de éste a manos de los hermanos nibelungos de Gudrún, y la espantosa venganza que ésta lleva a cabo., Nueva edición. Una obra que J.R.R. Tolkien dejó inédita y que su hijo Christopher Tolkien se encargó de recuperar. La edición incluye, además, la conferencia de Tolkien «Introducción a Edda Mayor» acerca de la poesía nórdica en la que se basó para su propio poema. «La versión de J. R. R. Tolkien es fruto de su exhaustivo estudio de la poesía noruega e islandesa recogida en la Edda poética (y allí donde no hay poesía antigua, de la posterior obra en prosa Völsunga Saga), de ahí el uso de estrofas breves cuyos versos imitan los ritmos aliterativos y la poderosa energía de los poemas de la Edda.» CHRISTOPHER TOLKIEN

La leyenda de Sigurd y Gudrún (NE)

The Silmarillion is an account of the Elder Days, of the First Age of Tolkien’s world. It is the ancient drama to which the characters in The Lord of the Rings look back, and in whose events some of them such as Elrond and Galadriel took part. The tales of The Silmarillion are set in an age when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle-Earth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the recovery of the Silmarils, the jewels containing the pure light of Valinor.

The Silmarillion

Tales and legends chronicling the world's beginnings and the happenings of the First Age, focusing on the theft of the Simarils--the three jewels crafted by Feanor--by Morgoth, first Dark Lord of Middle-earth.

y otros relatos de la Segunda Edad de la Tierra Media

La caída de Númenor

Una nueva crónica de la Segunda Edad de la Tierra Media con nuevas ilustraciones en acuarela y lápiz del decano del arte de Tolkien, Alan Lee. J.R.R. Tolkien describió la Segunda Edad de la Tierra Media como una "edad oscura, y no se cuenta (o no es necesario) mucho de su historia". Y durante muchos años, los lectores tendrían que contentarse con las señales que se encuentran en El Señor de los Anillos y sus apéndices, incluida la forja de los Anillos de Poder, la construcción de Barad-dûr y el surgimiento de Sauron. No fue hasta que Christopher Tolkien publicó El Silmarillion después de la muerte de su padre que se pudo contar una historia más completa. Aunque gran parte del contenido del libro se refería a la Primera Edad de la Tierra Media, al final había dos obras clave que revelaban los tumultuosos acontecimientos relacionados con el auge y la caída de la isla de Númenor. Surgido del Gran Mar y regalado a los Hombres de la Tierra Media como recompensa por ayudar a los angelicales Valar y los Elfos en la derrota y captura del Señor Oscuro Morgoth, el reino se convirtió en un centro de influencia y riqueza; pero a medida que aumentaba el poder de los Númenóreanos, inevitablemente se sembraría la semilla de su caída, que culminaría en la Última Alianza de Elfos y Hombres. Se revelaría una visión aún mayor de la Segunda Edad en publicaciones posteriores, primero en Cuentos inconclusos de Númenor y la Tierra Media (Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth), luego ampliados en el magistral libro de doce volúmenes de Christopher Tolkien La Historia de la Tierra Media (The History of Middle-earth), en el que presentó una gran cantidad de cuentos escritos por su padre, muchos en forma de borrador. Ahora, siguiendo la cronología de "La historia de los años" ("The Tale of Years") en los apéndices de El Señor de los Anillos (The Lord of the Rings), el editor Brian Sibley ha reunido en un solo libro una nueva crónica de la Segunda Edad de la Tierra Media, contada principalmente con las propias palabras de Tolkien tomadas de sus textos publicados. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A new chronicle of the Second Age of Middle-earth with new watercolor and pencil illustrations by Tolkien''s artistic dean, Alan Lee. J.R.R. Tolkien described the Second Age of Middle-earth as "a dark age, and not much of its history is (or need be) told." For many years, readers had to rely on hints found in El Señor de los Anillos (The Lord of the Rings) and its appendices, including the forging of the Rings of Power, the building of Barad-dûr, and the rise of Sauron. It wasn''t until Christopher Tolkien published El Silmarillion (The Silmarillion) after his father''s death that a fuller story could be told. Although much of the book focused on the First Age of Middle-earth, two key works at the end revealed the turbulent events surrounding the rise and fall of the island of Númenor. Rising from the Great Sea and gifted to the Men of Middle-earth as a reward for aiding the angelic Valar and the Elves in defeating and capturing the Dark Lord Morgoth, the kingdom became a center of influence and wealth; but as the Númenóreans'' power grew, the seeds of their downfall were inevitably sown, culminating in the Last Alliance of Elves and Men. A broader vision of the Second Age would emerge in later publications, first in Cuentos inconclusos de Númenor y la Tierra Media (Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth), then expanded in Christopher Tolkien''s masterful twelve-volume series La Historia de la Tierra Media (The History of Middle-earth), which presented a wealth of stories written by his father, many in draft form. Now, following the chronology of "La historia de los años" ("The Tale of Years") in the appendices of El Señor de los Anillos (The Lord of the Rings), editor Brian Sibley has compiled a new chronicle of the Second Age of Middle-earth, told primarily in Tolkien''s own words drawn from his published texts.

La Caída de Númenor / the Fall of Númenor

J. R. R. Tolkien’s writings on the Second Age of Middle-earth, collected for the first time in one volume complete with new illustrations in watercolor and pencil by renowned artist Alan Lee. J.R.R. Tolkien famously described the Second Age of Middle-earth as a "dark age, and not very much of its history is (or need be) told." And for many years readers would need to be content with the tantalizing glimpses of it found within the pages of The Lord of the Rings and its appendices, including the forging of the Rings of Power, the building of the Barad-dûr and the rise of Sauron. It was not until Christopher Tolkien published The Silmarillion after his father’s death that a fuller story could be told. Although much of the book’s content concerned the First Age of Middle-earth, there were at its close two key works that revealed the tumultuous events concerning the rise and fall of the island of Númenor. Raised out of the Great Sea and gifted to the Men of Middle-earth as a reward for aiding the angelic Valar and the Elves in the defeat and capture of the Dark Lord Morgoth, the kingdom became a seat of influence and wealth; but as the Númenóreans’ power increased, the seed of their downfall would inevitably be sown, culminating in the Last Alliance of Elves and Men. Even greater insight into the Second Age would be revealed in subsequent publications, first in Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth, then expanded upon in Christopher Tolkien’s magisterial twelve-volume The History of Middle-earth, in which he presented and discussed a wealth of further tales written by his father, many in draft form. Now, adhering to the timeline of "The Tale of Years" in the appendices to The Lord of the Rings, editor Brian Sibley has assembled into one comprehensive volume a new chronicle of the Second Age of Middle-earth, told substantially in the words of Tolkien from the various published texts, with new illustrations in watercolor and pencil by the doyen of Tolkien art, Alan Lee.

The Fall of Númenor

Dos historias unicas e ineditas que abren nuevas perspectivas al universo fantastico de Tolkien: Los papeles del Notion Club reproducen las discusiones de un supuesto club literario de Oxford entre los anos 1966 y 1967, donde se plantea la posibilidad de los viajes en el espacio y el tiempo, extranas comunicaciones que parecen referirse a la Atlantida y la violenta irrupcion de la leyenda en el noroeste de Europa. El hundimiento de ASnandune es una nueva version de la leyenda numenoreana del Oeste, el Andunaic, que un miembro del Notion Club aprendio en suenos. Los papeles de Notio Club fueron escritos por Tolkien en 1945-1946, en el intervalo entre Las Dos Torres y El Retorno del Rey. Estos misteriosos papeles reproducen las discusiones que se oian en un supuesto club literario de Oxford entre los anos 1966-1967, y en las que sus miembros se plantean la posibilidad de los viajes en el espacio y el tiempo a traves de los suenos verdaderos, las extranas comunicaciones que parecen referirse a laAtlantida, y la violenta irrupcion de la leyenda en el noroeste de Europa.El hundimiento de Anado?=s una nueva version de la leyenda numenoreana y una elaborada aunque incompleta descripcion del lenguaje de los Hombres del Oeste, el Adunaic, que Arundel Lowdham, miembro del Notion Club, aprendio en suenos.

La Caída de Númenor

As Silmarilli eram três joias perfeitas criadas por Fëanor, o mais talentoso dos Elfos Superiores. Quando o primeiro Senhor das Trevas, Morgoth, rouba as joias e as coloca numa coroa de ferro na impenetrável fortaleza de Angband, Fëanor e os seus familiares pegam em armas contra os deuses e travam uma longa e terrível guerra para recuperá-las. Esta é a história do heroísmo de Elfos e Homens na Primeira Era da Terra-média, a fundação do mundo e dos seus povos, antes dos grandes eventos revelados em O Hobbit e O Senhor dos Anéis.

Contos Inacabados

In one volume for the first time, this revised and updated examination of how J.R.R. Tolkien came to write his original masterpiece The Hobbit includes his complete unpublished draft version of the story, together with notes and illustrations by Tolkien himself. The Hobbit was first published on September 21,1937. Like its sequel, The Lord of the Rings, it is a story that "grew in the telling," and many characters and plot threads in the published text are quite different from the story J.R.R. Tolkien first wrote to read aloud to his young sons as one of their "fireside reads." Together in one volume, The History of the Hobbit presents the complete text of the unpublished manuscript of The Hobbit, accompanied by John Rateliff’s lively and informative account of how the book came to be written and published. Recording the numerous changes made to the story both before and after publication, he examines—chapter by chapter—why those changes were made and how they reflect Tolkien’s ever-growing concept of Middle-earth. As well as reproducing the original version of one of the world’s most popular novels—both on its own merits and as the foundation for The Lord of the Rings—this book includes many little-known illustrations and draft maps for The Hobbit by Tolkien himself. Also featured are extensive commentaries on the dates of composition, how Tolkien’s professional and early mythological writings influenced the story, the imaginary geography he created, and how Tolkien came to revise the book years after publication to accommodate events in The Lord of the Rings. Endorsed by Christopher Tolkien as a companion to his essential 12-volume The History of Middle-earth, this thoughtful and exhaustive examination of one of the most treasured stories in English literature offers fascinating new insights for those who have grown up with this enchanting tale, and will delight any who are about to enter Bilbo’s round door for the first time.
