Jonatas.Bakas | Jun 8, 2023 |   I was excited about this because OMG it's Beren and Luthien, who doesn't love that story? But I expected it to be a fleshed-out version of the story, based on all the writing Tolkien ever did on the subject. That's not what it is. I suppose it starts of, sorta, with that (except Beren is an elf in that story, and that's the worst version of the tale), but that's not enough to fill the book (but I'm sure you could've if you wanted to), so instead we're then treated to lots of other versions of the story, often in poetry form. It's kinda confusing and hard to follow, and not what I expected when I picked up the book. I find it hard to follow stories written in verse, and I was fighting to stay awake most of the time I read (not the book' fault, I blame my poor sleep the past week) which didn't exactly help with keeping up. HOWEVER I love Tolkien's poems, I love the rythm of them and how he rhymes, so even when I wasn't keeping up it was just a fucking treat to read. Honestly I feel like maybe that part of the book should be read out loud, but you can't do that on your commute. Oh well. It's still such a beautiful story. (  ) upontheforemostship | Feb 22, 2023 | JĂĄ disse isso antes, mas o fato de Tolkien ter produzido duas obras primas e ter relutado muito em completar outras coisas, nĂŁo apenas indicam que elas tinham potencial, mas que ele mesmo nĂŁo tinha mesmo como acabĂĄ-las de modo adequado. Acho que em geral o espĂłlio do autor e as glosas do filho sĂŁo a pura confirmação disso. (  ) henrique_iwao | Aug 30, 2022 | And Iâve always enjoyed see how JRR would start down certain paths, only to backtrack and head off in a different direction. And each time the story would improve. And to have here all the various drafts pulled together under one roof so to speak is wonderful. Exploring how names have changed and identifying the roots of the current forms is wonderful. And to see the earliest glimmers of those who later became significant characters in LotR is the best.

HTML: The New York Times Bestseller J.R.R. Tolkien's Beren And Lúthien is one of the three 'Great Tales' of the Elder Days. The epic tale of Beren and Lúthien became an essential element in the evolution of The Silmarillion, the myths and legends of Tolkien's First Age of the World. Always key to the story is the fate that shadowed their love: Beren was a mortal man, Lúthien an immortal Elf. Her father, a great Elvish lord, imposed on Beren an impossible task before he might wed Lúthien: to rob the greatest of all evil beings, Melkor, of a Silmaril. Painstakingly restored from Tolkien's manuscripts and presented for the first time as a continuous and standalone story, Beren and Lúthien reunites fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves and Men, along with the rich landscape and creatures unique to Tolkien's Middle-earth. Christopher Tolkien tells the story in his father's own words by giving its original form as well as prose and verse passages from later texts that illustrate the narrative as it changed. "A good introduction to LOTR fans nervous about taking on The Silmarillion, and also gives longtime fans a fascinating look at the Tolkiens' myth-making process."EntertainmentWeekly.com "With eloquence and diligence and care, the son reconstructs and retraces the father's journey, pursuing the tale through draft after draft as Tolkien pursued his vision of Middle-earth."NPR.org .Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
