Tolkien’in yayımlanmayan metinlerinden derlenerek başlı başına bir kitap haline getirilen Beren ile Luthien’in destansı hikayesi Hobbit, Yüzüklerin Efendisi, Silmarillion ve Tolkien’in yarattığı Elfler, İnsanlar, Orklar ve Cücelerle dolu Orta Dünya hayranlarını bir kez daha bir araya getirecek.

J.R.R. Tolkien’in İlk Çağ’daki destanları ve mitleri anlattığı Silmarillion’ın gelişiminde büyük bir rol oynayan Beren ile Luthien’in hikayesinin yazım sürecinde pek çok detay değişse de gölgelenen aşkları hep baki kaldı: Beren ölümlü bir İnsandı, Luthien ise ölümsüz bir Elf. Önemli bir Elf beyi olan babası, kızının Beren’le olmasına karşıydı ve eğer Luthien’le evlenmek istiyorsa Beren imkansız bir görevi yerine getirmek zorundaydı. Beren, Luthien ile birlikte kötülerin en kötüsü, Kara Düşman, Morgoth olarak da bilinen Melkor’dan en değerli mücevher Silmarili çalmaya çalışacaktı.

Bu kitapta Christopher Tolkien, Beren ile Luthien’in hikayesinin ilk yazıldığı tarihten, Silmarillion’daki haline kadar geçen süreci adım adım ele alıp Orta Dünya’nın en önemli aşk hikayesine nasıl dönüştüğünü, bu evrende giderek nasıl daha büyük bir yer kapladığını gözler önüne seriyor. Bunu yaparken de babasının kelimelerine dokunmadan, orijinal hallerini koruyarak destanın hem manzum hem de mensur biçimlerini ilk kez birlikte yayımlıyor.

Work Description

The New York Times Bestseller

J.R.R. Tolkien's Beren And Lúthien is one of the three 'Great Tales' of the Elder Days. The epic tale of Beren and Lúthien became an essential element in the evolution of The Silmarillion, the myths and legends of Tolkien's First Age of the World.

Always key to the story is the fate that shadowed their love: Beren was a mortal man, Lúthien an immortal Elf. Her father, a great Elvish lord, imposed on Beren an impossible task before he might wed Lúthien: to rob the greatest of all evil beings, Melkor, of a Silmaril.

Painstakingly restored from Tolkien's manuscripts and presented for the first time as a continuous and standalone story, Beren and Lúthien reunites fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves and Men, along with the rich landscape and creatures unique to Tolkien's Middle-earth. Christopher Tolkien tells the story in his father's own words by giving its original form as well as prose and verse passages from later texts that illustrate the narrative as it changed.

"A good introduction to LOTR fans nervous about taking on The Silmarillion, and also gives longtime fans a fascinating look at the Tolkiens' myth-making process."—EntertainmentWeekly.com

"With eloquence and diligence and care, the son reconstructs and retraces the father's journey, pursuing the tale through draft after draft as Tolkien pursued his vision of Middle-earth."—NPR.org
