Krátky popis
Painstakingly restored from Tolkien's manuscripts and presented for
the first time as a continuous and standalone story, the epic tale
of Beren and Luthien will reunite fans of The Hobbit and The Lord
of the Rings with Elves and Men, Dwarves and Orcs and the rich
landscape and creatures unique to Tolkien's Middle-earth. The tale
of Beren and Luthien 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 J.R.R. Tolkien. Returning from France
and the battle of the Somme at the end of 1916, he wrote the tale
in the following year. Essential to the story, and never changed,
is the fate that shadowed the love of Beren and Luthien: for Beren
was a mortal man, but Luthien 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 Luthien.
This is the kernel of the legend, and it leads to the supremely
heroic attempt of Beren and Luthien together to rob the greatest of
all evil beings, Melkor, called Morgoth, the Black Enemy, of a
Silmaril. In this book Christopher Tolkien has attempted to extract
the story of Beren and Luthien from the comprehensive work in which
it was embedded, but that story was itself changing as it developed
new associations within the larger history. To show something of
the process whereby this legend of Middle-earth evolved over the
years, he has told the story in his father's own words by giving,
first, its original form, and then passages in prose and verse from
later texts that illustrate the narrative as it changed. Presented
together for the first time, they reveal aspects of the story, both
in event and in narrative immediacy, that were afterwards lost.
