About this item

El libro cuenta con 9 láminas del artista Alan Lee a todo color, además de ilustraciones en blanco y negro integradas en el texto. Todas las ilustraciones se han creado especialmente para esta edición. El relato de Beren y Lúthien era, o se convirtió, en un elemento esencial en la evolución de El Silmarillion, los mitos y leyendas de la Primera Edad del Mundo concebidos por J. R. R. Tolkien. El autor escribió el relato durante el año siguiente a su regreso de Francia y de la batalla del Somme a finales de 1916. Esencial para la historia y sin haber sido nunca alterado, el elemento central del relato es el destino que ensombrece el amor de Beren y Lúthien, dado que Beren era un hombre mortal y Lúthien una Elfa inmortal, cuyo padre, un gran señor Elfo, en clara oposición a Beren, impuso a éste una tarea imposible que debía llevar a cabo si quería desposar a Lúthien. Éste es el núcleo de la leyenda, que acaba conduciendo al absolutamente heroico intento de Beren y Lúthien de robarle un Silmaril al más malvado de todos los seres: Melkor, también llamado Morgoth, el Enemigo Oscuro. En este libro Christopher Tolkien ha intentado extraer la historia de Beren y Lúthien de la extensa obra en la cual estaba entretejida. Para ilustrar una parte del proceso a través del cual este «Gran Relato» de la Tierra Media evolucionó a través de los años, Christopher ha narrado la historia en palabras de su padre ofreciendo, en primer lugar, su forma original, y a continuación pasajes en prosa y verso de textos posteriores que ilustran cómo ha cambiado la narrativa. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The book has 9 full-color plates by the artist Alan Lee, as well as black and white illustrations integrated into the text. All illustrations have been created especially for this edition. The story of Beren and Lúthien was, or became, an essential element in the evolution of The Silmarillion, the myths and legends of the First World Age conceived by J. R. R. Tolkien. The author wrote the story during the year following his return from France and the Battle of the Somme in late 1916. Essential to the story and never having been altered, the central element of the story is the fate that overshadows Beren and Lúthien's love, since Beren was a mortal man and Lúthien an immortal Elf, whose father, a great Elf lord, in clear opposition to Beren, imposed on Beren an impossible task that he had to carry out if he wanted to marry Lúthien. This is the core of the legend, which ends up leading to Beren and Lúthien's absolutely heroic attempt to steal a Silmaril from the most evil of all beings: Melkor, also called Morgoth, the Dark Enemy. In this book Christopher Tolkien has attempted to extract the story of Beren and Lúthien from the extensive work in which it was interwoven. To illustrate a part of the process through which this "Great Tale" of Middle-earth evolved over the years, Christopher has narrated the story in his father's words by first offering its original form, and then passages in prose and verse from later texts that illustrate how the narrative has changed.
