Description
The epic tale of Beren and Lúthien is presented for the first time as a continuous and standalone story, painstakingly restored from J.R.R. Tolkien's manuscripts. This story reunites fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with the rich landscape and creatures unique to Middle-earth. At its heart is the forbidden love between Beren, a mortal man, and Lúthien, an immortal Elf, and the impossible task that her father imposes on him. The tale of Beren and Lúthien is essential to the story of The Silmarillion, and its fate is inextricably linked to the evolution of Middle-earth's myths and legends. The story follows Beren and Lúthien's attempt to steal a Silmaril from the clutches of the great evil being, Morgoth. This book, written by Christopher Tolkien, presents the original form of the story, alongside passages in prose and verse from later texts that illustrate the narrative as it changed over time. By presenting the story in its original form, alongside its later developments, this book offers a unique insight into the process of how Middle-earth's legend evolved. It reveals aspects of the story that were lost in later versions, providing a fresh perspective on this iconic tale.
