The world first publication of a previously unknown work by J.R.R. Tolkien, which tells the extraordinary story of the final days of England's legendary hero, King Arthur. The Fall of Arthur, the only venture by J.R.R. Tolkien into the legends of Arthur King of Britain, may well be regarded as his finest and most skilful achievement in the use of the Old English alliterative metre, in which he brought to his transforming perceptions of the old narratives a pervasive sense of the grave and fateful nature of all that is told: of Arthur's expedition overseas into distant heathen lands, of Guinevere's flight from Camelot, of the great sea-battle on Arthur's return to Britain, in the portrait of the traitor Mordred, in the tormented doubts of Lancelot in his French castle. Unhappily, The Fall of Arthur was one of several long narrative poems that he abandoned in that period. In this case he evidently began it in the earlier nineteen-thirties, and it was sufficiently advanced for him to send it to a very perceptive friend who read it with great enthusiasm at the end of 1934 and urgently pressed him 'You simply must finish it!' But in vain: he abandoned it, at some date unknown, though there is some evidence that it may have been in 1937, the year of the publication of The Hobbit and the first stirrings of The Lord of the Rings. Years later, in a letter of 1955, he said that 'he hoped to finish a long poem on The Fall of Arthur'; but that day never came. Associated with the text of the poem, however, are many manuscript pages: a great quantity of drafting and experimentation in verse, in which the strange evolution of the poem's structure is revealed, together with narrative synopses and very significant if tantalising notes. In these latter can be discerned clear if mysterious associations of the Arthurian conclusion with The Silmarillion, and the bitter ending of the love of Lancelot and Guinevere, which was never written.

V dávných dobách vykovali elfští kováři prsteny moci, netušili však, že Temný pán Sauron dal vyrobit ještě Jeden prsten, který měl vládnout všem. Spojené armády lidí a elfů nakonec Saurona porazily a prsten mu odňaly, tato magická věc se však ztratila, aby po mnoha letech padla do rukou Bilba Pytlíka. Trilogie Pán prstenů vypráví o nebezpečné cestě Bilbova příbuzného Froda, který musí opustit ospalou vesničku Hobitín v Kraji a vydat se na nebezpečnou cestu přes celou Středozem k Puklinám osudu, aby zničil Prsten, a zmařil tak Sauronovy temné plány.

Bilbo's life is never to be the same again. Seldom has any book been so widely read and loved as J. R.R. Tolkien's classic tale, `The Hobbit'. Since its first publication in 1937 it has remained in print to delight each new generation of readers all over the world, and its hero, Bilbo Baggins, has taken his place among the ranks of the immortals of fiction.

J.R.R. Tolkien nem csupán regényíró volt. Tudományos munkássága mellett élete fő műve egy több mint 50 éven keresztül folyamatosan bővített és javított saját mitológiai rendszer, amelyet átfont az általa kidolgozott mesterséges nyelvek. E páratlan mítosz-ciklus legismertebb darabjai A Gyűrűk Ura és A hobbit című regények, illetve a posztumusz szerkesztett, A szilmarilok című gyűjtemény – amely azonban sajnos nem teljes, és nem tükrözi azt, ahogy a Professzor elképzelte a művet. Tolkien halála után fia és hagyatékának gondozója, Christopher Tolkien hozzáférhetővé kívánta tenni a mitológiai ciklus eddig nem publikált részleteit is. A több ezer oldalnyi kéziratot a keletkezés sorrendjében, a lehetőségekhez képest letisztázva, de hiányosságaikat nem titkolva adta közre, sok-sok értelmező jegyzettel. Ez alkotja a Középfölde Históriája című 12 kötetes sorozatot, amelyben Középfölde mítoszainak eleddig rejtett mélységei, soha nem látott kincsei tárulnak az olvasó elé. Az Elveszett Mesék Könyve I. része A szilmarilok mitológiaciklus legelső elbeszélésének bevezető történeteit tartalmazza. Kibontakozik a mitológiarendszer kiindulópontja, és nyomon követhetők páratlan fejlődésének kezdő lépései: a világ teremtése, a valák cselekedetei, a tündék ébredése, legnagyobb alkotásaik születése és Melko pusztító lázadása – ahogy azt maguk a tündék Eriolnak, a nyugati óceánon átkelő ember-hajósnak elmesélték.

A szövegekből és jegyzetekből kibontakoznak a mitológia megírásának kezdetétől jelen lévő fő történetek legelső változatai: Beren és Lúthien páratlan regéje, Túrin és a Sárkány története, a Törpök Nyakláncának egyetlen teljes narratívája, Gondolin bukásának legrészletesebb változata, és Earendel utazásának korai változata.

Láthatjuk az első „Szilmarilok”-térképet és olvashatjuk Valinor és Beleriand legkorábbi krónikáit. Közben megismerjük Beren és Túrin mítoszának folyamatos alakulását is.

Published to celebrate the first ever 'letter from Father Christmas' in 1920, this beautiful oversized edition of Tolkien's famous illustrated letters from 'Father Christmas', includes a wealth of charming letters, pictures and decorated envelopes, and promises to be a festive feast for Tolkien fans of all ages. Every December an envelope bearing a stamp from the North Pole would arrive for J.R.R. Tolkien's children. Inside would be a letter in strange spidery handwriting and a beautiful coloured drawing or some sketches. The letters were from Father Christmas. They told wonderful tales of life at the North Pole: how all the reindeer got loose and scattered presents all over the place; how the accident-prone Polar Bear climbed the North Pole and fell through the roof of Father Christmas's house into the dining-room; how he broke the Moon into four pieces and made the Man in it fall into the back garden; how there were wars with the troublesome horde of goblins who lived in the caves beneath the house! Sometimes the Polar Bear would scrawl a note, and sometimes Ilbereth the Elf would write in his elegant flowing script, adding yet more life and humour to the stories. No reader, young or old, can fail to be charmed by the inventiveness and 'authenticity' of Tolkien's Letters from Father Christmas. This classic festive book of Tolkien's enchanting Father Christmas letters, written to his children between the 1920s and the 1940s, has been reworked into a sumptuous, new standard hardback edition. It contains high-quality digital reproductions of his wonderful letters and pictures, including a number of them appearing in this format for the first time, and a revised introduction by Baillie Tolkien.

First ever critical study of Tolkien's little-known essay, which reveals how language invention shaped the creation of Middle-earth and beyond, to George R R Martin's Game of Thrones. J.R.R. Tolkien's linguistic invention was a fundamental part of his artistic output, to the extent that later on in life he attributed the existence of his mythology to the desire to give his languages a home and peoples to speak them. As Tolkien puts it in 'A Secret Vice', 'the making of language and mythology are related functions''. In the 1930s, Tolkien composed and delivered two lectures, in which he explored these two key elements of his sub-creative methodology. The second of these, the seminal Andrew Lang Lecture for 1938-9, 'On Fairy-Stories', which he delivered at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, is well known. But many years before, in 1931, Tolkien gave a talk to a literary society entitled 'A Hobby for the Home', where he unveiled for the first time to a listening public the art that he had both himself encountered and been involved with since his earliest childhood: 'the construction of imaginary languages in full or outline for amusement'. This talk would be edited by Christopher Tolkien for inclusion as 'A Secret Vice' in The Monsters and the Critics and Other Essays and serves as the principal exposition of Tolkien's art of inventing languages. This new critical edition, which includes previously unpublished notes and drafts by Tolkien connected with the essay, including his 'Essay on Phonetic Symbolism', goes some way towards re-opening the debate on the importance of linguistic invention in Tolkien's mythology and the role of imaginary languages in fantasy literature.
