THE CHILDREN OF HURIN J R R Tolkien, edited by Christopher Tolkien
Painstakingly restored from Tolkien’s manuscripts and presented for the first time as a fully continuous and standalone story, The Children of Hurin is a tragic tale that awakens in the reader a powerful will to overcome the forces of evil, whatever the cost, and however long it may take. Set in the great country that lay beyond the Grey Havens in the West, in lands where Treebeard once walked, but which were drowned in the great cataclysm that ended the First Age of the World, it tells the story of Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, and the wars he waged against the lands and secret cities of the Elves. It tells of Turin and his sister Nienor, whose brief and passionate lives were dominated by the elemental hatred 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. Glaurung’s pursuit was relentless, his cunning diabolic, and though they struggled valiantly, Turin and Nienor were no match for him. Thus, the curse of Morgoth was fulfilled. 320pp, 143mm x 222mm, illustrated, hardback, 2007
