Krátky popis
The comprehensive collection of letters spanning the adult life of
one of the world's greatest storytellers, now revised and expanded
to include more than 150 previously unseen letters, with revealing
new insights into The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The
Silmarillion. J.R.R. Tolkien, creator of the languages and history
of Middle-earth as recorded in The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings
and The Silmarillion, was one of the most prolific letter-writers
of this century.Over the years he wrote a mass of letters - to his
publishers, to members of his family, to friends, and to 'fans' of
his books - which often reveal the inner workings of his mind, and
which record the history of composition of his works and his
reaction to subsequent events. A selection from Tolkien's
correspondence, collected and edited by Tolkien's official
biographer, Humphrey Carpenter, and assisted by Christopher
Tolkien, was published in 1981. It presented, in Tolkien's own
words, a highly detailed portrait of the man in his many aspects:
storyteller, scholar, Catholic, parent, friend, and observer of the
world around him.In this revised and expanded edition of The
Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien, it has been possible to go back to the
editors' original typescripts and notes, restoring more than 150
letters that were excised purely to achieve what was then deemed a
'publishable length', and present the book as originally intended.
Enthusiasts for his writings will find much that is new, for the
letters not only include fresh information about Middle-earth, such
as Tolkien's own plot summary of the entirety of The Lord of the
Rings and a vision for publishing his 'Tales of the Three Ages',
but also many insights into the man and his world.In addition, this
new selection will entertain anyone who appreciates the art of
letter-writing, of which J.R.R. Tolkien was a master.
