Description

J.R.R. Tolkien's The Fall of Númenor brings together the writings of the renowned author for the first time, offering a comprehensive account of the Second Age of Middle-earth. The story begins with the forging of the Rings of Power and the rise of the Dark Lord Sauron, who seeks to dominate the land through the creation of the One Ring. As Sauron's power grows, the island-kingdom of Númenor becomes increasingly threatened, and the Men of the West must form an alliance with the Elves to survive. The chronicle of Middle-earth's downfall is a tragic tale of pride, envy, and the corrupting influence of power. Guided by the Dark Lord's machinations, the Elves of Eregion forge the Rings of Power, while Sauron builds the Barad-dûr in Mordor. The fate of Middle-earth hangs in the balance as the Men of the West struggle to overcome their own flaws and unite against the common enemy. This collection of writings, assembled from the various published texts edited by Christopher Tolkien, provides a unique insight into the world of Middle-earth and the author's vision for its history. Illustrated with pencil drawings by Alan Lee, The Fall of Númenor is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the lore and history of this beloved fantasy world.
