A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

“The power of Tolkien’s central characters—tragic, cursed Túrin; the lovers Beren and Lúthien—shines through.”—Library Journal

Enter these pages and learn of the hero of The Lay of Leithian—and hear of the early years of Túrin the Tall, as he journeys through darkness on his search to find his father. Read of his rescue by Beleg the Brave, and of the dark destiny that haunts their friendship, in The Lay of the Children of Hurin.

With critical analysis from C. S. Lewis, The Lays of Beleriand is a bounty of lore forold and new friends of Middle-earth.

Biographie de l'auteur :

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born on January 3, 1892, in Bloemfontein, South Africa. After serving in World War I, he embarked upon a distinguished academic career and was recognized as one of the finest philologists in the world. He was a professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford, a fellow of Pembroke College, and a fellow of Merton College until his retirement in 1959. He is, however, beloved throughout the world as the creator of Middle-earth and author of such classic works as The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. He died on September 2, 1973, at the age of eighty-one.
