A szilmarilok – Illusztrálta Ted Nasmith
A szerző posztumusz kiadású művét, amelynek története A Gyűrűk Ura mitológiai hátterét alkotja, apja halála után Christopher Tolkien szerkesztette könyvvé. A szilmarilok "az óidőkről, a világ első koráról szól, amikor Morgoth, az első Sötét Úr még Középföldén lakozott, s a nemestündék háborút indítottak ellene, hogy visszaszerezzék a szilmarilokat". A mű első változatait Tolkien az első világháború idején írta, és élete végéig folyamatosan bővítette, át- és újraírva az egész anyagot. A kötetet Ted Nasmith csodálatos festményei illusztrálják.
J. R. R. Tolkien (1892-1973) angol író, filológus; legismertebb művei A Gyűrűk Ura és A hobbit, valamint a Középfölde-mitológiával kapcsolatos egyéb írásai.

Beowulf - A Translation and Commentary, Together with Sellic Spell
The translation of Beowulf by J.R.R. Tolkien was an early work, very distinctive in its mode, completed in 1926: he returned to it later to make hasty corrections, but seems never to have considered its publication. This edition is twofold, for there exists an illuminating commentary on the text of the poem by the translator himself, in the written form of a series of lectures given at Oxford in the 1930s; and from these lectures a substantial selection has been made, to form also a commentary on the translation in this book. From his creative attention to detail in these lectures there arises a sense of the immediacy and clarity of his vision. It is as if he 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. But the commentary in this book includes also much from those lectures in which, while always anchored in the text, he expressed his wider perceptions. He looks closely at the dragon that would slay Beowulf 'snuffling in baffled rage and injured greed when he discovers the theft of the cup'; but he rebuts the notion that this is 'a mere treasure story', 'just another dragon tale'. He turns to the lines that tell of the burying of the golden things long ago, and observes that it is 'the feeling for the treasure itself, this sad history' that raises it to another level. 'The whole thing is sombre, tragic, sinister, curiously real. The "treasure" is not just some lucky wealth that will enable the finder to have a good time, or marry the princess. It is laden with history, leading back into the dark heathen ages beyond the memory of song, but not beyond the reach of imagination.' Sellic Spell, a 'marvellous tale', is a story 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.

A Secret Vice - Tolkien On Invented Languages
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

Silmarillion
Ilustrované vydání knihy, ve které jsou shromážděny dějiny Středozemě od jejího stvoření božským Ilúvatarem přes vyprávění o jejím utváření a osídlování až k hrdinům, kteří jí přinesli slávu.

Artušův pád - The Fall of Arthur
Literární pastiš z Tolkienovy pozůstalosti. Jde bohužel o nedokončený text, ve kterém autor zpracoval klasickou artušovskou látku. Text k vydání připravil Christopher Tolkien a doplnil ho obsáhlým komentářem, v němž se věnuje básnickým i prozaickým zpracováním artušovské tematiky a srovnává je s otcovou verzí. Kniha dokládá Tolkienovu zálibu ve staroanglické poezii i možný pramen inspirace pro jeho slavné romány.
The Silmarillion Illustrated Edition
Including brand-new paintings, this is a fully illustrated new edition of the forerunner to The Lord of the Rings. The Silmarillion fills in the background which lies behind the more popular work, and gives the earlier history of Middle-earth, introducing some of the key characters.
The Silmarillion is the core of J.R.R. Tolkien's imaginative writing, a collection of narratives ranging in time from the Elder Days of Middle-earth, through the Second Age and the rise of Sauron, to the end of the War of the Ring.
They are set in an age when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle-earth, and the Elves made war upon him in his impenetrable fortress in Angband for the recovery of the Silmarils, three jewels containing the last remaining pure light of Valinor, seized by Morgoth and set in his iron crown.
Accompanying these tales are several shorter works. The Ainulindale is a myth of the Creation and in the Valaquenta the nature and powers of the gods is described. The Akallabeth recounts the downfall of the great island kingdom of Numenor at the end of the Second Age and Of the Rings of Power tells of the great events at the end of the Third Age, as told in The Lord of the Rings.
Tolkien could not publish The Silmarillion in his lifetime, as it grew with him, so he would leave it to his son, Christopher, to edit the work from many manuscripts and bring his father's great vision to publishable form, so completing the literary achievement of a lifetime. This special edition presents anew this seminal first step towards mapping out the posthumous publishing of Middle-earth, and the beginning of an illustrious forty years and more than twenty books celebrating his father's legacy.
Also included is a letter by J.R.R. Tolkien written in 1951 which provides a brilliant exposition of the earlier Ages, and almost 50 full-colour paintings by Ted Nasmith, including some which appear here for the first time.
Húrinovy děti
Poprvé vychází další z Tolkienových příběhů. Húrinovy děti jsou tragickou pověstí o prokletí a zkáze rodu velkého lidského bojovníka z konce prvního věku Středozemě.
Po Hobitovi a Pánu prstenů jsou třetím Tolkienovým příběhem z fantastické Středozemě. Autor knihu za svého života pouze rozepsal, pracovat na ní začal dokonce už v pětadvaceti letech. Z Tolkienových poznámek sestavil Húrinovy děti do finální podoby jeho syn Christopher, který je držitelem autorských práv na odkaz slavného spisovatele.
Christopher Tolkien je na otcovu tvorbu známý odborník. Už v roce 1977 sestavil z fragmentů knihu Silmarillion, sám publikoval množství tolkienovské sekundární literatury a zejména map souvisejících s jeho ságami. Práce na Húrinových dětech mu ovšem trvala celých třicet let.
Příběh, považovaný za nejtragičtější z celé Tolkienovy mytologie, byl inspirován severskou ságou o Sigurdovi drakobijci a pověstí O Kullervovi z finské Kalevaly. Odehrává se ke konci bájného prvního věku historie světa, kdy elfové podporovaní částí lidí již prohrávají svou dlouhou válku se zlomocným pánem Středozemě Morgothem, kdysi jedním z mocných duchů, kteří se podíleli na utváření světa, který však z pýchy a touhy po moci propadl zlu.
V poslední velké bitvě, v níž padlo několik elfských a lidských království, byl statečný lidský náčelník Húrin zajat Morgothem. Protože se před ním odmítl pokořit, Morgoth vynesl nad jeho rodinou kletbu: „Na všechny, které miluješ, má myšlenka dolehne jako mrak Sudby a přivede je do tmy a zoufalství. Kamkoli půjdou, vyvstane zlo. Kdykoli promluví, jejich slova poskytnou špatnou radu. Cokoli učiní, obrátí se proti nim. Zemřou bez naděje, proklínajíce život i smrt.“
Děj knihy líčí dlouhý zápas Húrinova syna Túrina s prokletím. Túrin se stane velkým bojovníkem proti Morgothovým přisluhovačům, omylem však zabije nejlepšího přítele a pak svou radou způsobí zkázu jedné elfské říše. Zdrcen se pokusí začít znovu jinde a pod jiným jménem.
Zdá se, že konečně unikl, a dokonce se šťastně ožení. Potom však do země vstoupí Morgothův nejnebezpečnější sluha, drak Glaurung. Túrin se s ním utká a zabije ho. V okamžiku triumfu se však dozvídá, že nejtěžšího zločinu se dopustil proti své sestře, kterou neznal. Morgothova kletba se naplní a příběh Húrinových dětí končí.
Originální anglické i toto české vydání knihy ilustroval Alan Lee, jeden z nejoblíbenějších malířů tolkienovské literatury, jenž za uměleckou práci na části filmové trilogie Pán prstenů Návrat krále získal v roce 2004 Oscara.

The Hobbit Facsimile First Edition
This sumptuous gift set contains a replica of the very rare first edition of The Hobbit, plus a book about the books's publication history and a CD of previously unreleased archive recordings featuring J.R.R. Tolkien reading from his book. The Hobbit was published on 21 September 1937 with a print run of 1,500 copies. With a beautiful cover design by the author and a coloured frontispiece painting, the book proved to be popular and was reprinted within three months, and history was already being made. The scarcity of the first edition has resulted in copies commanding huge prices, way beyond the reach of most Tolkien fans. In addition, subsequent changes to the text - particularly those to chapter five when Tolkien decided to expand the text to marry it up to events in The Lord of the Rings - mean that the opportunity to read the book in its original form and format has become quite difficult. To commemorate the 75th anniversary of publication, this special edition reprints the first edition, so that Tolkien's book may be enjoyed in its original form. Included in the box is a CD deaturing recordings of Tolkien reading extracts from the book, including more than half an hour of archive recordings only recently discovered and never before released. In addition, a full colour booklet traces the origins of The Hobbit and its publication history, complete with a gallery of artwork and covers for this remarkable book.
The Story Of Kullervo
The world first publication of a previously unknown work of fantasy by J.R.R. Tolkien, which tells the powerful story of a doomed young man who is sold into slavery and who swears revenge on the magician who killed his father. Kullervo son of Kalervo is perhaps the darkest and most tragic of all J.R.R. Tolkien's characters. 'Hapless Kullervo', as Tolkien called him, is a luckless orphan boy with supernatural powers and a tragic destiny. Brought up in the homestead of the dark magician Untamo, who killed his father, kidnapped his mother, and who tries three times to kill him when still a boy, Kullervo is alone save for the love of his twin sister, Wanona, and guarded by the magical powers of the black dog, Musti. When Kullervo is sold into slavery he swears revenge on the magician, but he will learn that even at the point of vengeance there is no escape from the cruellest of fates. Tolkien wrote that The Story of Kullervo was 'the germ of my attempt to write legends of my own', and was 'a major matter in the legends of the First Age'; his Kullervo was the ancestor of Turin Turambar, tragic incestuous hero of The Silmarillion. In addition to being a powerful story in its own right, The Story of Kullervo - published here for the first time with the author's drafts, notes and lecture-essays on its source-work, The Kalevala, is a foundation stone in the structure of Tolkien's invented world.

Hobit (slovenský)
Hobit je kniha dejovo spojená s trilógiou Pán Prsteňov. Autor, povzbudený čitateľským úspechom, ktorý nasledoval po vydaní Hobita (prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1937), sa rozhodol pokračovať v príbehoch Stredozeme a rozšíriť ich; tak sa zrodil trojdielny román Pán Prsteňov a Silmarillion. Žriedlom spisovateľovej inšpirácie boli grécka, rímska, keltská a anglosaská mytológia, artušovské, karolínske a germánske legendy. V jeho diele sa prejavilo všetko, čím bol: tvorivým spisovateľom, filológom, historikom, etnografom, znalcom mýtov, geografom, filozofom, umelcom a oddaným kresťanom. Tolkienovo rozprávačské majstrovstvo spočíva vo vytvorení vlastnej, originálnej mytológie.
