內容簡介

內容簡介 精裝盒裝套書系列第二輯—向托爾金的文學成就致敬,雙面書衣設計。本套書包含《The Lays of Beleriand》、《The Shaping of Middle-earth》與《The Lost Road》,這些書收錄了托爾金早期的神話與傳說,這些作品最終引導出《精靈寶鑽》的誕生。**《貝爾蘭的敘事詩》**透過關於圖林與貝倫與露西安這兩個托爾金世界中最關鍵故事的頭韻詩,讓我們得以一窺中土世界神話創作的過程。詩作旁附有關於長老時代歷史演變的評論,以及C.S. 路易斯對《雷西安之歌》的著名批評,他曾於1929年閱讀這部詩作。**《中土世界的形成》**展示了中土世界與維林諾傳說的年代與地理結構。我們首次得見「安巴坎塔」(Ambarkanta)或稱「世界的形狀」,這是唯一一份描繪虛構宇宙本質的記述,並附有戰神之戰與努曼諾爾覆滅前後世界變遷的地圖與圖解。此外,書中還收錄了1926年版本的《精靈寶鑽》初稿以及1930年的《諾多林傳說》(Quenta Noldorinwa)——這是J.R.R. 托爾金唯一完成至終結的第一紀元神話與傳說版本。**《失落之路》**完整呈現了托爾金在開始創作《魔戒》之前的寫作歷程,內容包括維林諾與貝爾蘭年表的後期形式、努曼諾爾覆滅的傳說,以及未完成的「時間旅行」故事《失落之路》,此故事將努曼諾爾與中土世界與其他時代與民族的傳說聯繫在一起。這三本書首次集結出版,呈現出克里斯托弗.托爾金40年間致力於整理與發表其父J.R.R. 托爾金中土世界作品的珍貴時期。這是一項獨特的成就,向奇幻文學史上最偉大的虛構世界致敬。Second in a series of hardback boxed sets celebrating the literary achievement of Christopher Tolkien, featuring double-sided dustjackets. Includes THE LAYS OF BELERIAND, THE SHAPING OF MIDDLE-EARTH and THE LOST ROAD, which contain the early myths and legends that led to the writings of THE SILMARILLION.The Lays of Beleriand gives us a privileged insight into the creation of the mythology of Middle-earth through the alliterative verse tales of two of the most crucial stories in Tolkien’s world – those of Túrin and of Beren and Lúthien. Accompanying the poems are commentaries on the evolution of the history of the Elder Days, together with the notable criticism of The Lay of Leithian by C.S. Lewis, who read the poem in 1929.InThe Shaping of Middle-earththe chronological and geographical structure of the legends of Middle-earth and Valinor is spread before us. We are introduced to the hitherto unknown Ambarkanta or ‘Shape of the World’, the only account ever given of the nature of the imagined Universe, accompanied by maps and diagrams of the world before and after the cataclysms of the War of the Gods and the Downfall of Númenor. Also included are the original ‘Silmarillion’ of 1926, and the Quenta Noldorinwa of 1930 – the only version of the myths and legends of the First Age that J.R.R. Tolkien completed to their end.The Lost Road completes the examination of Tolkien’s writing completes the examination of Tolkien's writing before he began The Lord of the Rings, presenting later forms of the annals of Valinor and Beleriand, the legend of the downfall of Númenor, and the abandoned ‘time-travel’ story The Lost Road, linking the world of Númenor and Middle-earth with the legends of many other times and peoples.Published together for the first time, these three books comprise a fascinating period of Christopher Tolkien’s forty-year career devoted to presenting his father J.R.R. Tolkien’s writings on Middle-earth, itself a unique accomplishment that celebrates the greatest invented world in all of fantasy literature.
