Tolkien GB The Children of Húrin - Boek - 9780007246229

Painstakingly restored from Tolkien’s manuscripts and presented for the first time as a fully continuous and standalone story, The Children of Húrin is an epic tale that reunites fans of the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings with Elves and Men, dragons and Dwarves, eagles and Orcs. Set in a distant era beyond the Grey Havens in the West, long before The Lord of the Rings, it unfolds in the First Age amid the shadow of Morgoth and the House of Húrin. The story follows Turin and his sister Nienor, whose brief yet passionate lives are shaped by hatred and fate, and whose journeys are marked by peril, pursuit, and the dragon Glaurung. Christopher Tolkien has constructed a coherent narrative from extensive manuscript study, yielding a continuous, more expansive account crafted by J. R. R. Tolkien.

The work is presented by J. R. R. Tolkien and edited by Christopher Tolkien, bringing together the author’s later revisions and enlargements into a single, cohesive edition. The book differentially expands on the complexities of motive and character, offering a deep dive into Middle-earth’s ancient history and its landscape beyond the western shores.
