Author: J. R. R. Tolkien
About the Author: Born John Ronald Reuel Tolkien on January 3, 1892, he was an English writer, poet, scholar, and academic, best known as the author of the highly fictional works The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. He was Rawlinson and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon and Fellow of Pembroke College, Oxford from 1925 to 1945 and Professor of English Language and Literature at Merton and Fellow of Merton College, Oxford from 1945 to 1959. C. S. Lewis, Associate member of the informal literary discussion group The Inklings. Tolkien was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II on March 28, 1972. After Tolkien’s death, his son Christopher published a series of works based on his father’s extensive notes and unpublished manuscripts, including The Silmarillion. These, together with The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, form a continuum of tales, poems, fictional histories, invented languages, and literary essays about a fictional world called Arda and within it Middle-earth. 1951 and 1955, Tolkien applied the term Legendarium to the greater part of these writings. While many other authors had published works of fiction prior to Tolkien, the huge success of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings led directly to a resurgence in popularity for the genre. This has caused Tolkien to be widely identified as the “father” of modern fantasy literature – or, more accurately, high fantasy.
The Book of Lost Tales Part 2 book pdf download By J. R. R. Tolkien
“The Book of Lost Tales was the first major work of imagination by J.R.R. Tolkien, begun in 1916, when he was twenty-five years old, and left incomplete several years later. It stands at the beginning of the entire conception of Middle-earth and Valinor, for the Lost Tales were the first form of the myths and legends that came to be called The Silmarillion. Embedded in English legend and association, they are set in the narrative frame of the great westward voyage of a mariner named Eriel (or AElfwine). His destination is Tol Eressea, the Lonely Isle where Elves dwell; from them he learns their true history, the Lost Tales of Elfinesse. The Tales include the earliest accounts of Gods and Elves, Dwarves, Balrogs, and Orcs; of the Silmarils and the Two Trees of Valinor; of Nargothrond and Gondolin; of the geography and cosmography of their invented world. The Book of Lost Tales is published in two volumes. The first contains the Tales of Valinor; and this second past includes Beren and Luthien, Turin and the Dragon, and the only full narratives of the Necklace of the Dwarves and the Fall of Gondolin. Each tale is followed by a commentary, together with associated poems, and each volume contains extensive information on names and vocabulary of the earliest Elvish languages. Additional books in this series will extend the history of Middle-earth as it was refined and enlarged in later years and will include the long Lays of Beleriand, the Ambarkanta or Shape of the World, the Lhammas or Account of Tongues, annals, maps, and many other previously unpublished writings of J.R.R. Tolkien.”
