Summary

Los Cuentos Inconclusos de Númenor y la Tierra Media es una colección de relatos sobre la historia de la Tierra Media desde los Primeros Días hasta el fin de la Guerra del Anillo。 Entre esos relatos se cuentan el animado discurso en que Gandalf explica cómo llegó a enviar a los Enanos a la famosa reunión de Bolsón Cerrado; la emergencia de Ulmo， el dios del mar， ante los ojos de Tuor， o la historia de Númenor antes de su caída。

El libro contiene además todo lo que se sabe de asuntos tales como los Cinco Magos， las Palantíri， la organización militar de los Jinetes de Rohan， la leyenda de Amroth， y el único mapa de Númenor dibujado por J。R。R。 Tolkien。

Christopher Tolkien， que explica en la Introducción los distintos tratamientos que estos textos han exigido， escribió un largo comentario a cada una de las historias， y volvió a dibujar， en mayor escala， el mapa que acompaña a El Señor de los Anillos， añadiéndole nuevos accidentes y nombres。

Por primera vez se reúnen los tres ilustradores más destacados de la Tierra Media， Alan Lee， John Howe y Ted Nasmith， para crear una obra única。

Poszerzenie znanych już wcześniej historii jak i zupełnie nowe opowieści z Tolkienowskiego świata！ W większości są to zebrane szkice z dodatkowymi opisami i komentarzami Christophera Tolkiena。 Polecam głównie fanom。 :）

Brandon ，

All The Easter Eggs If you think you have a good hold on Tolkien’s Legendarium， and have read Lord of The Rings and the Silmarillion， this is a great supplement of short/unfinished stories。 Christopher Tolkien’s extremely thorough footnotes help to tie everything together， and relate his father’s otherwise sundry， disjointed storylines into a unified， albeit somewhat encyclopedic exploration of Middle Earth。 This book is all the Easter eggs in one basket。

As much as I love The Hobbit and LOTR， Tolkien holds in reserve the depths to which his world-building and character development extend for these 'deep cut' volumes like The Silmarillion， Unfinished Tales， etc。。 Even I had to check my 'Nerd of the Rings' card at the door as this book too often strayed into territory I could only classify as 'wow， who cares' too often and I was reduced to skimming through much of it。 As much as I love The Hobbit and LOTR， Tolkien holds in reserve the depths to which his world-building and character development extend for these 'deep cut' volumes like The Silmarillion， Unfinished Tales， etc。。 Even I had to check my 'Nerd of the Rings' card at the door as this book too often strayed into territory I could only classify as 'wow， who cares' too often and I was reduced to skimming through much of it。 。。。more

Must read for a Tolkien superfan

Estefan Ruiz De Chávez ，

Esta edición tiene unas ilustraciones hermosas。， este libro más que leerlo de corrido como una novela， en mi opinión sirve más como un libro de consulta sobre temas， eventos， personajes y otros tópicos de la obra de la tierra Media de Tolkien。 Si uno es admirador del mundo de “El Señor de los anillos”， “El Silmarillion” y “El Hobbit” este es un libro esencial。

Much better than The Silmarillion。 While the stores here are， of course， fragmentary， and some actually have been purposefully left incomplete with notes that refer back to The Silmarillion to fill in the blanks， the narrative is quite strong at times。 The story of the children of Hurin is fantastic， even if clipped and missing its centrepiece （you have to go to The Silmarillion for the whole tale， or that separate hardcover）。 Same with the story of Tuor。 I wish there was a proper ending to Alda Much better than The Silmarillion。 While the stores here are， of course， fragmentary， and some actually have been purposefully left incomplete with notes that refer back to The Silmarillion to fill in the blanks， the narrative is quite strong at times。 The story of the children of Hurin is fantastic， even if clipped and missing its centrepiece （you have to go to The Silmarillion for the whole tale， or that separate hardcover）。 Same with the story of Tuor。 I wish there was a proper ending to Aldarion and Erendis。 All the stories here are tragic。 The prevailing mood here， as in pretty much all of Tolkien， is bittersweet。 Good prevails， in the end， but at tremendous cost。A fair number of chapters are more like gazetteer entries， though， and aren’t essential。 Some of them do provide interesting information， at least。 There is one on the movement of the Nazgul as they hunt for Baggins and the ring at the start of Fellowship。 Another on the line of Numenorean kings。 That sort of stuff。Still， at times， I really found myself wishing that Christopher Tolkien had been more of a writer。 His father left some great idea behind， many of which were more than half formed and could have been completed with less effort than went into tracking down and assessing every scrap or Scribble than JRR left behind。 Some of these stories should be finished。 。。。more

Sauerkirsche ，

Tolkiens Mythologie ist und bleibt einzigartig und unerreicht。 Dieses Buch bietet ein wundervolle Ergänzung zum Silmarillion。 Einige Geschichten werden hier noch ausführlicher erzählt， manche kommen auch gar nicht im Silmarillion vor。 Allerdings handelt es sich hier um keine fortlaufende Geschichtensammlung。 Die Erzählungen sind durch C。 Tolkiens Kommentare ergänzt， da es von jeder mehrere Fassungen gibt， die J。R。R。 Tolkien teilweise auf lose Blätter gekritzelt hatte。 Ich habe einen Eindruck dav Tolkiens Mythologie ist und bleibt einzigartig und unerreicht。 Dieses Buch bietet ein wundervolle Ergänzung zum Silmarillion。 Einige Geschichten werden hier noch ausführlicher erzählt， manche kommen auch gar nicht im Silmarillion vor。 Allerdings handelt es sich hier um keine fortlaufende Geschichtensammlung。 Die Erzählungen sind durch C。 Tolkiens Kommentare ergänzt， da es von jeder mehrere Fassungen gibt， die J。R。R。 Tolkien teilweise auf lose Blätter gekritzelt hatte。 Ich habe einen Eindruck davon bekommen， welche Mammutaufgabe es für den Sohn gewesen sein muss， diese Aufschriebe in eine sinnvolle Reihenfolge zu bringen und außerdem auch die "gültige" Version herauszusuchen。Für HDR-Nerds unverzichtbar， erfährt man hier doch genaueres über die Beweggründe Gandalfs die Zwerge auf die Fahrt zum Erebor zu schicken， außerdem unterschiedliche Fassungen zu Celeborn und Galadriel oder über die Herkunft der Istari。 。。。more

Toto bolo skvelé。 Veľmi ma bavili tie background informácie k jednotlivým legendám a príbehom zo Stredozeme， ale aj veci o rasách， menách a celkovo veci， čo sa diali počas trilógie alebo Hobita z pohľadu iných postáv ako v trilógii boli skvelé。 Tolkien bol proste génius a chcem čítať aj všetky ostatné jeho knihy。

Aποφάσισα να εγκαινιάσω το 2021 με ένα βιβλίο από την bookish bucket list μου， ή αλλιώς από την λίστα με βιβλία που θέλω ν' αποκτήσω πριν ψοφήσω。Το συγκεκριμένο βιβλίο το είδα στα ράφια ενός βιβλιοπωλείου το 2010 στην Αγγλία， μόλις πρωτοεκδόθηκε σε αυτή την έκδοση με τους Μπλε Μάγους στο εξώφυλλο， εικονογράφηση που έγινε από τον Ted Nasmith。Τότε είπα， ας το αφησω για μετά。 Και εδώ είναι που ισχύει η φράση «Μην αφήνεις πράγματα που μπορείς να κάνεις σήμερα για αύριο»。Και να που η συγκεκριμένη έκδ Aποφάσισα να εγκαινιάσω το 2021 με ένα βιβλίο από την bookish bucket list μου， ή αλλιώς από την λίστα με βιβλία που θέλω ν' αποκτήσω πριν ψοφήσω。Το συγκεκριμένο βιβλίο το είδα στα ράφια ενός βιβλιοπωλείου το 2010 στην Αγγλία， μόλις πρωτοεκδόθηκε σε αυτή την έκδοση με τους Μπλε Μάγους στο εξώφυλλο， εικονογράφηση που έγινε από τον Ted Nasmith。Τότε είπα， ας το αφησω για μετά。 Και εδώ είναι που ισχύει η φράση «Μην αφήνεις πράγματα που μπορείς να κάνεις σήμερα για αύριο»。Και να που η συγκεκριμένη έκδοση εξαντλήθηκε και εγώ σαν ένας άλλος Στράιντερ （Γοργοπόδαρος） το αναζητούσα για δέκα ολόκληρα χρόνια εδώ κι εκεί: καινούργιο， μεταχειρισμένο， σε παζαράκια， σε βιβλιοπωλεία， στο διαδίκτυο， σε κατακόμβες， σε μάγισσες σε χαρτορίχτρες。Και να που πέρσι αρχές Μαΐου το είδα σε ένα πόστ στο Reddit και έγινα πράσινος από τη ζήλεια μου για τον τυχερό που το απέκτησε。 Αλλά ο τυχερός απεδείχθη και Άνθρωπος με κεφαλαίο διότι λίγες βδομάδες αργότερα， βλέποντας το σχόλιό μου， με ρώτησε αν ακόμη ήθελα το βιβλίο， και αν ναι， να βρούμε τρόπο να μου το στείλει και τρόπο να τον πληρώσω。 Και voilà αρχές Ιουνίου του 2020 το είχα επιτέλους στα χέρια μου。My precioussss。Και φυσικά θα έκανα ποδαρικό στο 2021 με τούτο το βιβλίο。 Έτσι και αλλιώς 3 Ιανουαρίου είναι και τα γενέθλια του Καθηγητή Τόλκιν。Αυτό το βιβλίο και μοιάζει και δεν μοιάζει με το Σιλμαρίλλιον。Μοιάζει διότι αφηγήται αρκετές ιστορίες από το Μπελέριαντ και από το Νούμενορ， από εποχές πριν τα γεγονότα του Χόμπιτ και του Άρχοντα。Δεν μοιάζει διότι στις Ατέλειωτες Ιστορίες σε αντίθεση με το Σιλμαρίλλιον υπάρχει ίσος καταμερισμός σελίδων ανά εποχή。 Ενώ στο Σιλμαρίλλιον η Πρώτη Εποχή καταλάμβανε το 33%， η Δεύτερη το 7%， και η Τρίτη （και πιο ενδιαφέρουσα κατ' εμέ） Εποχή καταλάμβανε μόλις το 6%， στις Ατέλειωτες Ιστορίες η Πρώτη καταλαμβάνει το 31%， η Δεύτερη και η Τρίτη από 22%。Το Σιλμαρίλλιον περιέχει και αρκετές σελίδες από τη δημιουργία του Κόσμου， των Θεών， της Γης （Άρντα） όπως επίσης και την γέννηση των Ξωτικών και των Ανθρώπων， όλα （40%） πρίν την Πρώτη Εποχή。Οι Ατέλειωτες Ιστορίες από την άλλη ξεκινούν απευθείας από την Πρώτη Εποχή και ολοκληρώνονται λίγο πριν τα γεγονότα του Χόμπιτ。 （Βιβλίο με το οποίο θα κάνω ποδαρικό αυτή το φορά στον Φεβρουάριο）。Περιέχουν επίσης και ένα Τέταρτο Μέρος όπου εξιστορείται η ιστορία των Παλαντίρι （Οι Πέτρες της Όρασης）， των Πέντε Μάγων και ιδιαίτερα του Γκάνταλφ και του Σάρουμαν， όπως επίσης και για το ποιοι ήταν οι Ντρούαντεϊν οι Αγριάνθρωποι。Ήταν απόλαυση να ξεφύγω από τη μουντή πραγματικότητα και για ένα Δεκαήμερο （σαν νέος του Βοκκάκιου） να ζω μες στις ιστορίες του Τόλκιν。Επαναλαβάνω το ίδιο και τώρα και με το Χόμπιτ， και ίσως τον Μάρτη με τον Άρχοντα。Οψόμεθα。 。。。more

The standout story in here was Aldarion and Erendis， for showing characters with depth， agency， and problems - sad as the story is。The details of Tuor and Gondolin were also interesting， as was some of the details surrounding Isiludur's last days， and the origins of the Istari。But the rest of the book was as unnecessary as it was unfinished。 The standout story in here was Aldarion and Erendis， for showing characters with depth， agency， and problems - sad as the story is。The details of Tuor and Gondolin were also interesting， as was some of the details surrounding Isiludur's last days， and the origins of the Istari。But the rest of the book was as unnecessary as it was unfinished。 。。。more

An amazing book for Tolkien enthusiasts！In the first half you get a shortened story （e。g。 the fall of Gondolin） and a lot of additional information about the circumstances。 The second part is more of an informative part and less a story （what are the Palantíri？ From where do the Istari come？ What are the Drúedain？）。 The big chapters are divided into the Ages of Arda。 The notes are written by Christopher Tolkien， who was one of the last people who really knew Tolkien's World。 An amazing book for Tolkien enthusiasts！In the first half you get a shortened story （e。g。 the fall of Gondolin） and a lot of additional information about the circumstances。 The second part is more of an informative part and less a story （what are the Palantíri？ From where do the Istari come？ What are the Drúedain？）。 The big chapters are divided into the Ages of Arda。 The notes are written by Christopher Tolkien， who was one of the last people who really knew Tolkien's World。 。。。more
