This de luxe collector's edition features the first edition text and eight full-colour plates, with an exclusive colour frontispiece illustration. The book is quarterbound with a special gold motif stamped on the front board and is presented in a matching slipcase. There are tales of Middle-earth from times long before The Lord of the Rings, and the story told in this book is set in the great country that lay beyond the Grey Havens in the West: lands where Treebeard once walked, but which were drowned in the great cataclysm that ended the First Age of the World. In that remote time Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in the vast fortress of Angband, the Hells of Iron, in the North; and the tragedy of Turin and his sister Nienor unfolded within the shadow of the fear of Angband and the war waged by Morgoth against the lands and secret cities of the Elves. Their brief and passionate lives were dominated by the elemental hatred that Morgoth bore them as the children of Hurin, the man who had dared to defy and to scorn him to his face. Against them he sent his most formidable servant, Glaurung, a powerful spirit in the form of a huge wingless dragon of fire. Into this story of brutal conquest and flight, of forest hiding-places and pursuit, of resistance with lessening hope, the Dark Lord and the Dragon enter in direly articulate form. Sardonic and mocking, Glaurung manipulated the fates of Turin and Nienor by lies of diabolic cunning and guile, and the curse of Morgoth was fulfilled. The earliest versions of this story by J.R.R. Tolkien go back to the end of the First World War and the years that followed; but long afterwards, when The Lord of the Rings was finished, he wrote it anew and greatly enlarged it in complexities of motive and character: it 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.

以《未完成的故事》中的長篇為原本,簡化齣來的這本書,其劣勢非常明顯,那就是倉促,或者說意猶未盡。但是作為鴻篇巨作來說,這一篇單獨成書的傳說就顯得那個什麼非常地符閤鴻篇巨作瞭。 · 由於後麵劇情的快節奏,所以這篇以鬍林兒女的宿命為主綫的文章就...
評分坐瞭一夜的火車,正好把這本書看完,作為魔戒的粉絲看這本書確實可以解點饞。 圖林就是一悲劇,害瞭很多人的悲劇,可憐又可恨,他妹妹也是,有點活該的感覺。精靈是很值得做朋友的種族。嚮在這一世紀戰死的精靈和人類至敬。
評分J.R.R. Tolkien 的小說中令人熟知的有“魔戒傳奇”(Lord of Rings),拍成瞭電影。另外幾本書是“The Hobbit”,“The Silmarillion”和“The Children Of Hurin”. 我看過這四本書中的三本,隻有“The Hobbit”沒有看過。我被Tolkien的書迷住瞭,其實他的書中充滿瞭想象的曆史,...
評分剛剛收到書,聯經這次把書做得真正很漂亮,兩種不同的封麵,彩圖黑白圖都很精美,:) 譯文的質量,其實我是不可避免會有傾嚮性的,因為我參與瞭本書的校譯,:) 雖然不敢說就絕無錯漏可能,但至少Joy和我的態度都是端正的,工作是認真的,某齣版社寶鑽那樣的人間慘劇,這次是斷...
評分不知道為什麼,描述和故事總有點不流暢感,可能是我對這個係列的書不熟的緣故。但是故事本身很不錯,很震撼,剛看瞭個開頭,慘烈的戰爭,復雜的“人”性,托爾金顯然不是浪得虛名。
