De Silmarillion

De Silmarillion
De nieuwe Prime Video-serie The Rings of Power is geïnspireerd op Tolkiens Midden-aarde – De Silmarillion in een nieuwe, prachtige uitvoering met geïllustreerde schutbladen en een omslagillustratie van J.R.R. Tolkien zelf J.R.R. Tolkien dacht voor de klassieker In de ban van de ring een complete wereld uit, met een eigen geschiedenis, geografie, taal en mythologie. Deze achtergronden verenigde hij in De Silmarillion. Hoewel het tijdens zijn leven nooit is gepubliceerd, beschouwde Tolkien dit boek als zijn eigenlijke levenswerk. In 1977 werd De Silmarillion postuum uitgegeven. Waar In de ban van de ring de geschiedenis van de Derde Era beschreef, voert De Silmarillion de lezer mee naar het begin van de oudste tijden: de Eerste Era van Midden-aarde. Het is de mythe van de schepping van de wereld en de grote oorlogen die werden gevoerd tussen de Elfen en de duistere Morgoth. In de pers ‘Tolkien schiep een fantasiewereld die ongekend knap in elkaar steekt.’ Visie ‘Wie eenmaal gegrepen is door de ontzagwekkende diepte van J.R.R. Tolkiens Midden-aarde en epische stijl waarin de oude heldendichten doorklinken, wil meer.’ Hebban.nl ‘Tolkiens boeken zijn ware klassiekers die tot op de dag van vandaag worden gelezen.’ Trouw

Beowulf

release date: Oct 15, 2015
Beowulf
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.

Smith of Wootton Major,

Smith of Wootton Major,
In 1964 J.R.R. Tolkien was invited to write the preface to a new edition of "The Golden Key" by George MacDonald. Accepting the invitation, Tolkien proposed the preface would explain the meaning of Fairy through a brief story about a cook and a cake. But the story grew, and took on a life of its own, and the preface was abandoned. Tolkien eventually gave it the title, "Smith of Wootton Major", to suggest an early work by P.G. Wodehouse or a story in the Boy''s Own paper. It was published in 1967.
