New Releases by J. R. R. TOLKIEN

La traducción de Beowulf de J.R.R. Tolkien, acabada en 1926, fue un trabajo temprano de carácter muy peculiar. Sin embargo, contiene elementos que después Tolkien usaría en sus obras de la Tierra Media, como el dragón, que presagia al Smaug de El Hobbit. A partir de la atención que Tolkien presta al detalle, se hace patente el sentido de la inmediatez y claridad de su visión. Es como si entrara en el pasado imaginado, y se irguiera junto a Beowulf y sus hombres cuando sacuden sus cotas de malla al asegurar su nave en la playa de la costa de Dinamarca, escuchara la creciente cólera de Beowulf por las provocaciones de Unferth, o mirara con asombro la terrible mano de Grendel colgada del techo de Heorot.

he first volume in J.R.R. Tolkien''s epic adventure THE LORD OF THE RINGS One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind themIn ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, the Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth, it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell into the hands of Bilbo Baggins, as told in The Hobbit. In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.

Long before the One Ring was forged in the fires of Mount Doom, one man—Húrin—dared to defy Morgoth, the first and greatest of the dark lords to plague Middle-earth. Thus did he and his children, Túrin and Niënor, earn the enmity of a merciless foe that would shape the destiny of all the ages to come. Only J.R.R. Tolkien, the undisputed master of the fantastic, could have conceived this magical tale of Elves and Men united against a brutal foe. And only Christopher Tolkien, the master’s son and literary heir, could have fit the pieces of his father’s unfinished work together with such deep understanding and consummate artistry. With an introduction and appendiCes by Christopher Tolkien, who has also contributed maps and genealogy tables, and eight stunning paintings and twenty-five pencil drawings by Oscar-winning artist Alan Lee, The Children of Húrin at last takes its proper place as the very cornerstone of J.R.R. Tolkien’s immortal achievement.

Cuando J.R.R. Tolkien dejó de lado El Silmarillion en 1937, el desarrollo de la «mitología» de las últimas Edades apenas había comenzado. Fue en los Apéndices de El Señor de los Anillos donde surgió una estructura histórica comprensible y una cronología de la Segunda y Tercera Edad, abarcando todos los hilos que confluirían en La Guerra del Anillo. Es bien conocido el retraso en la publicación de El Retorno del Rey por la dificultad que encontró en redactar esos Apéndices. Pero en Los Pueblos de la Tierra Media Christopher Tolkien demuestra que existía una estructura original en escritos sueltos y en notas que difieren de la versión publicada. En estos textos tempranos se ve la evolución de la estructura cronológica de las últimas Edades, los calendarios, las genealogías de los hobbits y el lenguaje Oestron o Lengua Común.

Vorbei ist es mit dem beschaulichen Leben des angesehenen Bilbo Beutlin, seit er sich auf ein Abenteuer eingelassen hat, das Hobbitvorstellungen bei weitem übersteigt. Nicht nur, daß er sich auf eine Reise von der Dauer eines Jahres begibt, er läßt sich auch vom Zwergenkönig und seinen Genossen als Meisterdieb unter Vertrag nehmen und verpflichtet sich, den Zwergen bei der Rückgewinnung ihres geraubten Schatzes zu helfen. ”Tolkien hat das Verdienst, im nüchternen 20. Jahrhundert die Welt der Drachen, Elben, Zauberer und Könige wieder transparent zu machen.“ u003eSalzburger NachrichtenThe Hobbit
