Myths and Legends (Boxed Set)
Fifth in a series of hardcover boxed sets celebrating the literary achievement of Christopher Tolkien, featuring double-sided dustjackets. This slipcase contains Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún, The Fall of Arthur, and Beowulf: A Translation and Commentary.
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Pearl are two poems by an unknown author written in about 1400. Sir Gawain is a romance, a fairy-tale for adults, full of life and colour; Pearl is apparently an elegy on the death of a child but, like Gawain, it is also a sophisticated and moving debate on much less tangible matters. Sir Orfeo is a slighter romance, belonging to an earlier and different tradition. It was a special favourite of Tolkien's. The three translations are here uniquely accompanied with the complete text of Tolkien's acclaimed 1953 W.P. Ker Memorial Lecture that he delivered on Sir Gawain.
The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún tells the epic story of the Norse hero, Sigurd, the dragon-slayer, during a time of gods, betrayal and fierce battles, the revenge of his wife, Gudrún, and the Fall of the Nibelungs. Told in verse composed by J.R.R. Tolkien derived from the ancient poetry of the Poetic Edda and the prose Völsunga Saga, this masterful fusion of myth and poetry is accompanied by notes and commentary by Christopher Tolkien.
The Fall of Arthur tells the extraordinary story of the final days of England's legendary hero, King Arthur. It is the only venture by J.R.R. Tolkien into the legends of Arthur King of Britain, and may well be regarded as his finest and most skilful achievement in the use of the Old English alliterative metre. The long narrative poem is accompanied by significant if tantalising notes, in which can be discerned clear if mysterious associations of the Arthurian conclusion with The Silmarillion.
The translation of Beowulf by J.R.R. Tolkien was completed in 1926: he returned to it later but seems never to have considered its publication. This edition is twofold, for the translation is here paired with an illuminating written commentary on the poem by the translator himself, prepared for a series of lectures given at Oxford in the 1930s. From these lectures there arises a sense of the immediacy and clarity of his vision. It is as if Tolkien entered into the imagined past: standing beside Beowulf and his men shaking out their mail-shirts as they beached their ship on the coast of Denmark, listening to the rising anger of Beowulf at the taunting of Unferth, or looking up in amazement at Grendel's terrible hand set under the roof of Heorot.
These are accompanied by Sellic spell, a 'marvellous tale' written by Tolkien suggesting what might have been the form and style of an Old English folk-tale of Beowulf, in which there was no association with the 'historical legends' of the Northern kingdoms.
Published together for the first time, these four books - all edited by the author's son and literary executor - collect a fascinating period of Christopher Tolkien's forty-year career devoted to presenting his father J.R.R. Tolkien's scholarly writings on the myths and legends of northern Europe, a unique accomplishment that celebrates the academic brilliance and storytelling genius of one of the twentieth century's finest literary pioneers.

Okřídlená
Oddaná válečnice, odvržená velitelkou i bohyní, musí bojovat, aby získala zpátky vlastní život.
Nad městem Radežda spí pět záhadných bohů. Pět bohů, kteří kdysi obyvatele údolí obdařili skvělými technologiemi a moudry. Když se poté bohové od lidí odvrátili, jejich věrní vystavěli věže, které se dotýkaly nebes, aby zjistili proč. Odpovědi se jim však nedostalo a společný žal se přetavil v zoufalství a nakonec ve válku.
Zenye nebylo ani dvacet, když utekla z domova, aby se připojila k sektě mechanicky vylepšených bojovníků. Byla odhodlaná vysloužit si mechanická křídla a chránit svůj lid a město, které milovala. Pod přísným vedením vrtošivé, ale charismatické velitelky se z ní stala Okřídlená Zemolai.

Kvůli jedinému projevu milosrdenství je vyhoštěna a přijde naprosto o všechno. Zatímco Zemolai bojuje o život, pomalu začíná chápat pravou povahu válečnické sekty, její velitelky i samotných bohů.

Kingdom of the Feared – Rettegettek királysága (Gonoszok királysága 3.)
Két átok. Egy prófécia. Egy leszámolás, amitől mindenki rettegett. És egy szerelem, ami erősebb a sorsnál. Emiliát megrendítette a sokkoló felfedezés, hogy ikertestvére, Vittoria életben van. De mielőtt szembenézne múltjának démonaival, egyetlen vágy vezérli: hogy az ágyban is magának követelje királyát, a csábító Harag herceget. De Emilia nem csak a testére vágyik, a szívére és a lelkére is, ezt azonban a rejtélyes démon nem ígérheti neki. Amikor a Kapzsiság házának egy magas rangú tagját meggyilkolják, Emiliát és Haragot a rivális démonudvarba szólítják. A bizonyítékok Vittoria bűnösségére mutatnak, így nyomban a Hét kör ellenségének nyilvánítják. Az árulása ellenére a lány mindent megtesz, hogy megoldja ezt az új rejtélyt, és kiderítse, ki is a testvére valójában. Emilia és Harag a megtévesztés bűnökkel teli játékát játssza, miközben azon fáradoznak, hogy megakadályozzák a háborút a boszorkányok, démonok, alakváltók és a legálnokabb ellenségek, a Rettegettek között. Emiliát figyelmeztették, hogy ha a Gonoszokról van szó, semmi sem az, aminek látszik. De lehet, hogy az igazi gonoszok mindvégig sokkal közelebb rejtőztek? Amikor végre fény derül az igazságra, a lány talán a szívével fizet érte. Vesd bele magad a grandiózus fináléba!
