Description
The Fall of Gondolin is the final work of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth fiction, bringing to a close Christopher Tolkien's life-long achievement as the editor and curator of his father's manuscripts. In this epic tale, two of the greatest powers in the world are pitted against each other: Morgoth, the embodiment of utter evil, and Ulmo, second in might only to Manwë, chief of the Valar. At the heart of this conflict lies the city of Gondolin, a beautiful but undiscoverable haven built by the Noldorin Elves who rebelled against their rule and fled to Middle-earth. Guided by unseen forces, Tuor, a cousin of Túrin, embarks on a perilous journey to Gondolin, where he becomes great and is wedded to Idril, Turgon's daughter. Their son, Eärendel, is foreseen to play a profound role in the days to come. However, Morgoth's treachery ultimately leads to a devastating attack on the city, with Balrogs and dragons and countless Orcs descending upon it. This is a story of enmity between the gods, the struggle for power, and the fate of a city hidden from the world. With its richly detailed world-building and epic scope, The Fall of Gondolin is a compelling and thought-provoking read.
