Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

J. R. R. Tolkien, HarperCollins Publishers. The comprehensive collection of letters spanning the adult life of one of the world's greatest storytellers, now revised and expanded to include more than 150 previously unseen letters, with revealing new insights into The Hobbit , The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion . J.R.R. Tolkien, creator of the languages and history of Middle-earth as recorded in The Hobbit , The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion , was one of the most prolific letter-writers of the 20th century.

In this revised and expanded edition of The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien , it has been possible to go back to the editors' original typescripts and notes, restoring more than 150 letters that were excised purely to achieve what was then deemed a 'publishable length', and present the book as originally intended. Enthusiasts for his writings will find much that is new, for the letters not only include fresh information about Middle-earth, such as Tolkien's own plot summary of the entirety of The Lord of the Rings and a vision for publishing his 'Tales of the Three Ages', but also many insights into the man and his world. In addition, this new selection will entertain anyone who appreciates the art of letter-writing, of which J.R.R. Tolkien was a master.…
