“There are tales of Middle-earth from times long before The Lord of the Rings, and the story told in this book is set in the great country that lay beyond the Grey Havens in the West: lands where Treebeard once walked, but that were drowned in the great cataclysm that ended the First Age of the World.

“In that remote time Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in the vast fortress of Angband, the Hells of Iron, in the North; and the tragedy of Túrin and his sister Niënor unfolded within the shadow of the fear of Angband and the war waged by Morgoth against the lands and secret cities of the Elves.

“Their brief and passionate lives were dominated by the elemental hatred that Morgoth bore them as the children of Húrin, the man who had dared to defy and to scorn him to his face. Against them he sent his most formidable servant, Glaurung, a powerful spirit in the form of a huge wingless dragon of fire. Into this story of brutal conquest and flight, of forest hiding-places and pursuit, of resistance with lessening hope, the Dark Lord and the Dragon enter in direly articulate form. Sardonic and mocking, Glaurung manipulated the fates of Túrin and Niënor by lies of diabolic cunning and guile, and the curse of Morgoth was fulfilled.

“The earliest versions of this story by J.R.R. Tolkien go back to the end of the First World War and the years that followed; but long afterward, when The Lord of the Rings was finished, he wrote it anew and greatly enlarged it in complexities of motive and character: it became the dominant story in his later work on Middle-earth. But he could not bring it to a final and finished form. In this book I have endeavored to construct, after long study of the manuscripts, a coherent narrative without any editorial invention.” — Christopher Tolkien

Descrizione prodotto

L'autore

J.R.R. Tolkien (1892–1973) was a distinguished academic, though he is best known for writing The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion, plus other stories and essays. His books have been translated into over sixty languages and have sold many millions of copies worldwide.



ALAN LEE was born in Middlesex in 1947. His illustrated books include Faeries (with Brian Froud), Castles and Merlin Dreams, and the three ‘Great Tales’ of Middle-earth: The Children of Húrin, Beren and Lúthien, and The Fall of Gondolin. He has worked on such prestigious films as Erik the Viking (Terry Gilliam), Legend (Ridley Scott), and the acclaimed NBC miniseries Merlin. He is best known, however, for his work on the books The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and now the film versions.

Hador Goldenhead was a lord of the Edain and wellbeloved by the Eldar. He dwelt while his days lasted under the lordship of Fingolfin, who gave to him wide lands in that region of Hithlum which was called Dor-lómin. His daughter Glóredhel wedded Haldir son of Halmir, lord of the Men of Brethil; and at the same feast his son Galdor the Tall wedded Hareth, the daughter of Halmir.

Galdor and Hareth had two sons, Húrin and Huor. Húrin was by three years the elder, but he was shorter in stature than other men of his kin; in this he took after his mother's people, but in all else he was like Hador, his grandfather, strong in body and fiery of mood. But the fire in him burned steadily, and he had great endurance of will. Of all Men of the North he knew most of the counsels of the Noldor. Huor his brother was tall, the tallest of all the Edain save his own son Tuor only, and a swift runner; but if the race were long and hard Húrin would be the first home, for he ran as strongly at the end of the course as at the beginning. There was great love between the brothers, and they were seldom apart in their youth.

Húrin wedded Morwen, the daughter of Baragund son of Bregolas of the House of Bëor; and she was thus of close kin to Beren One-hand. Morwen was dark-haired and tall, and for the light of her glance and the beauty of her face men called her Eledhwen, the elven-fair; but she was somewhat stern of mood and proud. The sorrows of the House of Bëor saddened her heart; for she came as an exile to Dorlómin from Dorthonion after the ruin of the Bragollach.

Túrin was the name of the eldest child of Húrin and Morwen, and he was born in that year in which Beren came to Doriath and found Lúthien Tinúviel, Thingol's daughter. Morwen bore a daughter also to Húrin, and she was named Urwen; but she was called Lalaith, which is Laughter, by all that knew her in her short life.

Huor wedded Rían, the cousin of Morwen; she was the daughter of Belegund son of Bregolas. By hard fate was she born into such days, for she was gentle of heart and loved neither hunting nor war. Her love was given to trees and to the flowers of the wild, and she was a singer and a maker of songs. Two months only had she been wedded to Huor when he went with his brother to the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, and she never saw him again.

But now the tale returns to Húrin and Huor in the days of their youth. It is said that for a while the sons of Galdor dwelt in Brethil as foster-sons of Haldir their uncle, after the custom of Northern men in those days. They often went to battle with the Men of Brethil against the Orcs, who now harried the northern borders of their land; for Húrin, though only seventeen years of age, was strong, and Huor the younger was already as tall as most full-grown men of that people.

On a time Húrin and Huor went with a company of scouts, but they were ambushed by the Orcs and scattered, and the brothers were pursued to the ford of Brithiach. There they would have been taken or slain but for the power of Ulmo that was still strong in the waters of Sirion; and it is said that a mist arose from the river and hid them from their enemies, and they escaped over the Brithiach into Dimbar. There they wandered in great hardship among the hills beneath the sheer walls of the Crissaegrim, until they were bewildered in the deceits of that land and knew not the way to go on or to return. There Thorondor espied them, and he sent two of his Eagles to their aid; and the Eagles bore them up and brought them beyond the Encircling Mountains to the secret vale of Tumladen and the hidden city of Gondolin, which no Man had yet seen.

There Turgon the King received them well, when he learned of their kin; for Hador was an Elf-friend, and Ulmo, moreover, had counselled Turgon to deal kindly with the sons of that House, from whom help should come to him at need. Húrin and Huor dwelt as guests in the King's house for well nigh a year; and it is said that in this time Húrin, whose mind was swift and eager, gained much lore of the Elves, and learned also something of the counsels and purposes of the King. For Turgon took great liking for the sons of Galdor, and spoke much with them; and he wished indeed to keep them in Gondolin out of love, and not only for his law that no stranger, be he Elf or Man, who found the way to the secret kingdom or looked upon the city should ever depart again, until the King should open the leaguer, and the hidden people should come forth.

Segnalo solo che le recenti riedizioni HarperCollins del volume hanno una nuova sopraccoperta, non più plastificata come in passato e finalmente coerente con l'alternanza di caratteri bianchi e dorati dei successivi titoli illustrati da Alan Lee.

The darkest of the three tales of the First Age which Christopher Tolkien has published as stand-alone works, and never an easy read. As in life, there are no happy endings as JRR Tolkien, having fought in the trenches, knew only too well.

Only Tolkien can create such epic worlds and weave such complex but intriguing narratives. The amount of detail and interlinked characters are mind boggling. All praise to Christopher Tolkien for such wonderful job of editing his fathers works and bringing to us this epic tale. Must read for all fantasy readers and hope to see movie adaptation in the future

5,0 su 5 stelle A Masterpiece of Tragic Beauty - A 5-Star Review of The Children of Húrin
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 20 luglio 2023
Acquisto verificato
As an avid fan of J.R.R. Tolkien’s captivating Middle-earth tales, The Children of Húrin has left an indelible mark on my literary journey. This book, skillfully edited and brought to life by Christopher Tolkien, offers a profound and immersive experience into the tragic tale of the House of Hador and the ill-fated hero, Túrin Turambar.

Set in the richly detailed world of Middle-earth, The Children of Húrin weaves an epic narrative that explores themes of fate, sacrifice, and the timeless battle between good and evil. Tolkien’s ability to craft a mythical saga that resonates with human emotions elevates this book to a level of literary brilliance that few can match.

From the opening pages, I was drawn into the relentless fate of Túrin Turambar, whose life is destined to be a tapestry of sorrow and tragedy. The development of Túrin’s character is both captivating and heart-wrenching, as he navigates a path filled with triumphs and failures, love and loss, honor, and betrayal. Tolkien’s masterful storytelling captures the complexities of Túrin’s soul, making him a character that lingers in one’s mind long after the book is closed.

The supporting characters are equally well-crafted, each adding depth and significance to the narrative. Beleg, the loyal and valiant warrior, and Finduilas, the beacon of hope and love in Túrin’s tumultuous life, leave a lasting impact with their unwavering loyalty and unwavering love.

Throughout The Children of Húrin, Tolkien’s eloquent prose evokes a vivid and enchanting atmosphere, transporting readers into the realms of Beleriand. The ancient landscapes and mythical beings come to life through his evocative descriptions, captivating the imagination and immersing one in a world both familiar and ethereal.

As the story unfolds, the haunting presence of the malevolent Morgoth looms over the characters, driving the relentless force of darkness that tests their resilience and bravery. The epic battles and conflicts are skillfully balanced with tender moments of camaraderie and love, further deepening the emotional impact of the tale.

One of the most striking aspects of The Children of Húrin is its exploration of the cyclical nature of destiny. The recurring theme of doom and the inescapable burden of the past resonate deeply, reminding readers that even in the realm of fantasy, the consequences of one’s choices can be inescapable.

In addition to the captivating narrative, the extensive appendices and notes provided by Christopher Tolkien offer invaluable insights into the book’s creation. The scholarly depth and meticulous attention to detail make this edition a treasure trove for fans and scholars alike.

In conclusion, The Children of Húrin is a masterpiece that showcases the brilliance of J.R.R. Tolkien’s storytelling and world-building. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking a profound and immersive journey through the epic lore of Middle-earth. The tragic beauty of Túrin Turambar’s tale, coupled with the richness of Tolkien’s prose, creates an unforgettable reading experience that has enriched my appreciation for the world of Arda and the enduring legacy of its creator. Through The Children of Húrin, Tolkien’s literary prowess continues to inspire and captivate readers, reminding us of the enduring power of myth and the timeless allure of fantastical storytelling.
