"Книга Утраченных Сказаний" — первое серьезное художественное произведение Джона Р. Р. Толкина, начатое им в 1916-1917 годах, когда автору было двадцать пять лет, и оставленное незавершенным несколькими годами позже. "Утраченные Сказания" — прообраз тех мифов и легенд, что впоследствии будут названы "Сильмариллионом". "Сказания", в которых чувствуется несомненное влияние английских легенд, обрамлены историей о предпринятом мореходом Эриолом грандиозном путешествии через океан на запад, к берегам Тол Эрэссэа, Одинокого Острова, где обитают эльфы. Здесь отважный Эриол узнает истинную историю волшебного народа — Утраченные Сказания Эльфинесса.

Третий том "Истории Средиземья" дает нам уникальную возможность взглянуть на созидание мифологии Средиземья через призму стихотворных переложений двух наиболее значимых сюжетов толкиновского мира: легенд о Турине и о Лутиэн. Первая из поэм, грандиозная неопубликованная "Песнь о детях Хурина", посвящена трагедии Турина Турамбара. Вторая, проникновенное "Лэ о Лейтиан", главный источник предания о Берене и Лутиэн в "Сильмариллионе", повествует о Походе за Сильмарилями и о столкновении с Морготом в его подземной крепости. Поэмы сопровождаются комментариями об эволюции истории Древних Дней. В книгу также включен любопытный критический разбор "Лэ…

В этот том анналов истории Средиземья вошли различные вариации на тему событий Первой эпохи: ранние "Анналы Валинора", "Анналы Белерианда", первый вариант "Сильмариллиона" с ранними картами Средиземья, различные прозаические фрагменты, следующие за "Утраченными Сказаниями".

In this sixth volume of The History of Middle-earth the story reaches The Lord of the Rings. In The Return of the Shadow (an abandoned title for the first volume) Christopher Tolkien describes, with full citation of the earliest notes, outline plans, and narrative drafts, the intricate evolution of The Fellowship of the Ring and the gradual emergence of the conceptions that transformed what J.R.R. Tolkien for long believed would be a far shorter book, 'a sequel to The Hobbit'. The enlargement of Bilbo's 'magic ring' into the supremely potent and dangerous Ruling Ring of the Dark Lord is traced and the precise moment is seen when, in an…

The War of the Ring takes up the story of The Lord of the Rings with the Battle of Helm's Deep and the drowning of Isengard by the Ents, continues with the journey of Frodo, Sam and Gollum to the Pass of Cirith Ungol, describes the war in Gondor, and ends with the parley between Gandalf and the ambassador of the Dark Lord before the Black Gate of Mordor. Unforeseen developments that would become central to the narrative are seen at the moment of their emergence: the palantir bursting into fragments on the stairs of Orthanc, its nature as unknown to the author as to those who saw it fall, or the entry of Faramir into the story ("I am sure I did not invent him, I did not even want him, though I like him, but there he came walking through the woods of Ithilien").
The book is illustrated with the plans and drawings of the changing conceptions of Orthanc, Dunharrow, Minas Tirith and the tunnels of Shelob's Lair.

The Peoples of Middle-earth (1996) is the 12th and final volume of The History of Middle-earth, edited by Christopher Tolkien from the unpublished manuscripts of his father J. R. R. Tolkien. Some characters (including Anairë, the wife of Fingolfin) only appear here, as do a few other works that did not fit anywhere else.

The Treason of Isengard continues the account of the creation of The Lord of the Rings started in the earlier volume, The Return of the Shadow. It traces the great expansion of the tale into new lands and new peoples south and east of the Misty Mountains: the emergence of Lothlorien, of Ents, of the Riders of Rohan, and of Saruman the White in the fortress of Isengard. In brief outlines and pencilled drafts dashed down on scraps of paper are seen the first entry of Galadriel, the earliest ideas of the history of Gondor, and the original meeting of Aragorn and Eowyn, its significance destined to be wholly transformed.
The book also contains a full account of the original map which was to be the basis of the emerging geography of Middle-earth; and an appendix examines the Runic alphabets, with illustrations of the forms and an analysis of the Runes used in the Book of Mazarbul found beside Balin's tomb in Moria.

In the first section of Sauron Defeated Christopher Tolkien completes his fascinating study of The Lord of the Rings. Beginning with Sam's rescue of Frodo from the Tower of Cirith Ungol, and giving a very different account of the Scouring of the Shire, this section ends with versions of the hitherto unpublished Epilogue, in which, years after the departure of Bilbo and Frodo from the Grey Havens, Sam attempts to answer his children's questions.

The second section is an edition of The Notion Club Papers, now published for the first time. These mysterious papers, discovered in the early years of the twenty-first century, report the discussions of an Oxford club in the years 1986-7, in which, after a number of topics, the centre of interest turns to the legends of Atlantis, the strange communications received by other members of the club from the past, and the violent irruption of the legend into the North-west of Europe.

Closely associated with the Papers is the new version of the Drowning of Anadûnê, which constitutes the third part of the book. At this time the language of the Men of the West, Adûnaic, was first devised, and the book concludes with an account of its structure provided by Arundel Lowdham, a member of the Notion Club, who learned it in his dreams.

A new one-volume edition of the four books which comprise "The History of The Lord of the Rings". J.R.R. Tolkien is famous the world over for his unique literary creation, exemplified in "The Hobbit", "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Silmarillion". What is less well known, however, is that he also produced a vast amount of further material that greatly expands upon the stories that were published, and which herein gives added life to the tales of the hobbits, Gandalf and the quest of the Fellowship as told in "The Lord of the Rings". It was to this enormous task of literary construction that Tolkien's youngest son and literary heir, Christopher, applied himself to produce the monumental and endlessly fascinating series of twelve books, "The History of Middle-earth". This brand new hardback edition brings together volumes VI - IX of "The History of Middle-earth" - "The Return of the Shadow", "The Treason of Isengard", "The War of the Ring" and "Sauron Defeated" - into one volume. Together these books give a fascinating and complete account of the writing of The Lord of the Rings, and provide the reader with numerous additional scenes, together with rare maps and illustrations, which never made it into the final book, including the epilogue in its entirety. Epic in scope and extent, this second hardback volume of a planned trilogy will present the reader with a unique opportunity: to collect a complementary set of each hardback volume in "The Complete History of Middle-earth" series.

A new one-volume hardback edition of the first five books in "The History of Middle-earth". J.R.R. Tolkien is famous the world over for his unique literary creation, exemplified in The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion. What is less well known, however, is that he also produced a vast amount of further material that greatly expands upon the mythology and numerous stories of Middle-earth, and which gives added life to the thousand-year war between the Elves and the evil spirit Morgoth, and his terrifying lieutenant, Sauron. It was to this enormous task of literary construction that his Tolkien's youngest son and literary heir, Christopher, applied himself to produce the monumental and endlessly fascinating series of 12 books, "The History of Middle-earth". This brand new hardback edition brings together the first five volumes of "The History of Middle-earth" - "The Book of Lost Tales Parts" 1 and 2, "The Lays of Beleriand", "The Shaping of Middle-earth" and "The Lost Road" - into one volume. Epic in scope and extent, and featuring rare maps and illustrations drawn by J.R.R. Tolkien, this first standard hardback volume of a planned trilogy will present the reader with a unique opportunity to own the entire "History of Middle-earth" in three large but sensibly priced volumes.

Книга Утраченных Сказаний — первое значительное художественное произведение Дж. Р. Р. Толкина, начатое в 1916-1917 годах, когда автору было двадцать пять лет, и оставленное незавершенным несколькими годами позже. Замысел Средиземья и Валинора возник именно в этой Книге, ибо Утраченные Сказания — прообраз тех мифов и легенд, что впоследствии будут названы Сильмариллионом. Неразрывно связанные с английскими легендами, Сказания обрамлены историей о совершенном мореходом Эриолом (Эльфвине) великом путешествии через океан на запад, к берегам Тол Эрэссэа, Одинокого Острова, где обитают эльфы. От них он узнает истинную историю их народа — Утраченные Сказания Эльфинесса. В Сказаниях мы находим ранние представления о географии и космографии этого придуманного мира и первые упоминания богов и эльфов, карлов, балрогов и орков, Сильмарилей и Двух Древ Валинора, Нарготронда и Гондолина.
