Description
The Illustrated World of Tolkien: The Second Age is an in-depth exploration of Middle-earth's lesser-explored Second Age. Renowned expert David Day brings together artwork, charts, and scholarly writing to provide a comprehensive guide to this period of Arda's history. This volume delves into the languages, poetry, and mythological influences that shaped Tolkien's writing, including Norse, Greek, and Roman mythologies. It examines the rise and downfall of Númenor, the forging of the Rings of Power, and the emergence of a new dark lord. By exploring these lesser-known aspects of Tolkien's legendarium, Day sheds light on the power of imagination that underpins his work. This book is an unofficial companion to The Illustrated World of Tolkien, featuring artwork, charts, and scholarly writing from David Day. It is not authorised by the Tolkien Estate or HarperCollins Publishers.
