THE CHILDREN OF HÚRIN - JRR TOLKIEN KARTONIERT ...

Painstakingly restored from Tolkien's manuscripts  this is the first complete  standalone
Middle-earth book by J.R.R. Tolkien sinceThe HobbitandThe Lord of the Rings.  It is a legendary
time long beforeThe Lord of the Rings andMorgoth  the first Dark Lord  dwells in the vast
fortress of Angband in the North  and within the shadow of the fear of Angband  and the war
waged by Morgoth against the Elves  the fates of Túrin and his sister Niënor will be tragically
entwined.  Their brief and passionate lives are dominated by the elemental hatred that Morgoth
bears them as the children of Húrin  the man who dared to defy him to his face. Against them
Morgoth sends his most formidable servant  Glaurung  a powerful spirit in the form of a huge
wingless dragon of fire  in an attempt to fulfil the curse of Morgoth  and destroy the children
of Húrin.  Begun by J.R.R. Tolkien at the end of the First World War  The Children of Húrin
became the dominant story in his later work on Middle-earth. But he could not bring it to a
final and finished form. In this book Christopher Tolkien has constructed  after long study of
the manuscripts  a coherent narrative without any editorial invention.
