Synopsis

Hardback volume containing the well-loved poems from Tolkien’s literary masterpiece The Lord of The Rings, featuring a cover illustrated by celebrated Tolkien artist Alan Lee.

Featuring poems written in Tolkien’s inimitable style – each of which add to the magic, mystery and lyricism of the epic saga The Lord of The Rings.

These poems can also be enjoyed as a separate entity, apart from the main body of the text , with each stanza giving an insight into the mythology and sagas of Tolkien’s parallel universe of Middle-earth.

Trying to furnish England with a mythology he felt it hitherto lacked, and drawing on his own studies of epic poems of the past, including classics such as Beowulf, it could be argued that Tolkien’s poetry is at the heart of the saga that was to become the Book of the Century.

J.R.R. Tolkien's book 'The Fall of Númenor' was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 2022-11-07.

A propos du livre

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

For millions of readers of 'The Lord of the Rings', and for its author J.R.R. Tolkien, the poems and songs which appear in the book are an essential part of its overall magnificence. Trying to furnish England with a mythology he felt it hitherto lacked, and drawing on his own studies of epic poems of the past, including classics such as Beowulf, Tolkien used poetry to add to the magic, mystery and lyricism at the heart of this epic saga.

Bringing together all the poems from the work, this expanded edition demonstrates Tolkien's consummate skill as a poet as well as a storyteller. Set apart from the main body of the text, these poems prove delightful in their own right, with each stanza giving an insight into the creation of Tolkien's parallel universe of Middle-earth.
