  THE HOBBIT

  J. R. R. Tolkien, Alan Lee

  • Harper Collins
  • 25 Juin 2020
  • 9780008376116

  A great modern classic and the prelude to The Lord of the Rings.Smaug certainly looked fast asleep, almost dead and dark, with scarcely a snore more than a whiff of unseen steam, when Bilbo peeped once more from the entrance. He was just about to step out on to the floor when he caught a sudden thin and piercing ray of red from under the drooping lid of Smaug''s left eye. He was only pretending to sleep! He was watching the tunnel entrance!Whisked away from his comfortable, unambitious life in his hobbit-hole in Bag End by Gandalf the wizard and a band of dwarves, Bilbo Baggins finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. Although quite reluctant to take part in this quest, Bilbo surprises even himself by his resourcefulness and his skill as a burglar!The text of this edition has been fully corrected and revised in collaboration with Christopher Tolkien and is accompanied by a wealth of beautiful watercolour paintings and delicate pencil drawings from Alan Lee.

  THE FALL OF NUMENOR - AND OTHER TALES FROM THE SECOND AGE OF MIDDLE-EARTH

  J R R Tolkien, Alan Lee

  • Harper Collins Uk
  • 19 Janvier 2023
  • 9780008601393

  J.R.R. Tolkien''s writings on the Second Age of Middle-earth, collected for the first time in one volume.
  J.R.R. Tolkien famously described the Second Age of Middle-earth as a ''dark age, and not very much of its history is (or need be) told''. And for many years readers would need to be content with the tantalizing glimpses of it found within the pages of The Lord of the Rings and its appendices, including the forging of the Rings of Power, the building of the Barad-dur and the rise of Sauron.
  It was not until Christopher Tolkien published The Silmarillion after his father''s death that a fuller story could be told. Although much of the book''s content concerned the First Age of Middle-earth, there were at its close two key works that revealed the tumultuous events concerning the rise and fall of the island of Numenor. Raised out of the Great Sea and gifted to the Men of Middle-earth as a reward for aiding the angelic Valar and the Elves in the defeat and capture of the Dark Lord Morgoth, the kingdom became a seat of influence and wealth; but as the Numenoreans'' power increased, the seed of their downfall would inevitably be sown, culminating in the Last Alliance of Elves and Men.
  Even greater insight into the Second Age would be revealed in subsequent publications, first in Unfinished Tales of Numenor and Middle-earth , then expanded upon in Christopher Tolkien''s magisterial twelve-volume The History of Middle-earth , in which he presented and discussed a wealth of further tales written by his father, many in draft form.
  Now, adhering to the timeline of ''The Tale of Years'' in the appendices to The Lord of the Rings , editor Brian Sibley has assembled into one comprehensive volume a new chronicle of the Second Age of Middle-earth, told substantially in the words of J.R.R. Tolkien from the various published texts, with new pencil illustrations by the doyen of Tolkien art, Alan Lee. Lire la suite Fermer

  THE HOBBIT SKETCHBOOK

  Alan Lee

  • Harper Collins Uk
  • 14 Novembre 2019
  • 9780008226749

  This richly illustrated book celebrates in words and pictures the beautiful work that award-winning artist Alan Lee produced for J.R.R. Tolkien''s The Hobbit, and includes dozens of brand-new paintings and pencil drawings exploring the world of Bilbo Baggins. Since The Hobbit was first published in 1937, generations of readers have fallen under its spell. That magic was reignited sixty years later, when Alan Lee was commissioned to produce a special illustrated edition, and his delicate pencil drawings and beautiful watercolour paintings have become for many the definitive vision of J.R.R. Tolkien''s Middle-earth. In this sumptuous, large-format hardback Alan Lee reveals in pictures and in words how he created these images, which would prove so powerful, matching perfectly with Tolkien''s own vision, that they would eventually define the look of Peter Jackson''s film adaptations and earn Alan a coveted Academy Award. The Hobbit Sketchbook is filled with more than 100 of his sketches and early conceptual pieces that reveal how the project progressed from idea to finished art. It also contains a wealth of brand-new full-colour paintings and sketches drawn specially for this book, which unlock the secrets of how Alan creates his own magic and provide a fascinating insight into the imagination of the man who breathed new life into Tolkien''s vision.
