J. R. R. Tolkien: The Fall of Numenor, Gebunden

Klappentext

A special edition of J. R.R. Tolkien's writings on the Second Age of Middle-earth collected in one volume, illustrated by Alan Lee and published to coincide with season 3 of The Rings of Power.

Guided by the Dark Lord Sauron, the Elves of Eregion forge the Rings of Power. Yet in secret he has begun building the Barad-dûr in Mordor, and here, in the fires of Mount Doom, he makes the One Ring. Seeking to rule Middle-earth, Sauron begins to wage terrible war upon them.

On the island-kingdom of Númenor, the Men of the West become mighty, building great ships to increase their influence throughout Middle-earth. But as their power grows, the seed of their downfall is sown. Only by uniting in alliance with the Elves can they hope to overcome Sauron.

Adhering to 'The Tale of Years' timeline in The Lord of the Rings, Brian Sibley assembles a new chronicle of Middle-earth, a tragic tale of pride, envy and downfall told substantially in the words of J. R.R. Tolkien from the various published texts originally edited by Christopher Tolkien, and illustrated with pencil drawings by Alan Lee.

Sumptuously repackaged to complement the series of special hardback editions illustrated by J. R.R. Tolkien, this stunning edition uniquely features sprayed edges and includes a removable art card and colour foldout map.
