Summary

Epicka opowieść Beren i Lúthien – drobiazgowo odtworzona z rękopisów Tolkiena i po raz pierwszy przedstawiona jako zwarty, samodzielny tekst – umożliwia miłośnikom Hobbita i Władcy Pierścieni ponowne spotkanie z elfami, ludźmi, krasnoludami, orkami, a także innymi istotami i krainami spotykanymi tylko w Tolkienowskim Śródziemiu。

Historia Berena i Lúthien z biegiem czasu stała się zasadniczym elementem w ewolucji Silmarillionu, zbioru mitów i legend Pierwszej Ery świata stworzonego przez J。R。R。 Tolkiena。 Autor, wróciwszy z bitwy nad Sommą we Francji pod koniec 1916 roku, napisał tę opowieść w następnym roku。

Zasadniczym i nigdy niezmienionym jej elementem jest fatum wiszące nad miłością Berena i Lúthien, Beren był bowiem śmiertelnym człowiekiem, a Lúthien pochodziła z rodu nieśmiertelnych elfów。 Jej ojciec – władca bardzo nieprzychylny Berenowi – jako warunek poślubienia Lúthien wyznaczył mu niemożliwe do wykonania zadanie。 Stanowi to jądro legendy i prowadzi do wymagającej od dwojga zakochanych wielkiego bohaterstwa próby wykradzenia silmarila Melkorowi – największemu spośród wszystkich złych bytów, zwanego Morgothem, Czarnym Nieprzyjacielem。

Christopher Tolkien spróbował w niniejszej książce wypreparować opowieść o Berenie i Lúthien z obszernego materiału, w którym była osadzona; lecz w miarę rozwoju nowych związków w ramach tej większej historii sama opowieść także przechodziła zmiany。 Aby nieco odsłonić wieloletni proces ewolucji tej legendy Śródziemia, Christopher Tolkien opowiedział ją słowami ojca, przedstawiając najpierw jej pierwotną wersję, a następnie pisane prozą i wierszem fragmenty późniejszych tekstów, które ilustrują zmiany zachodzące w opowieści。 Po raz pierwszy zestawione razem, ujawniają utracone później jej aspekty związane zarówno z wydarzeniami, jak i z samą narracją。

As any other Tolkien read, it was complex。 But it was incredible。 Truth be told, i’ll have to revisit it soon just to take notes because once I hit halfway I ended up “reading it just to read” despite trying to pay close attention。

Based on my enjoyment of the poem itself, I would give Beren and Luthien 3 stars, but when looking at the story itself, I rate this 4,5 stars。 It is simply one of the most beautiful love stories of all time, with themes that are relevant to this day。 The story manages to flesh out Middle Earth’s lore, while being self contained。 While I personally don’t enjoy the writing style of this book, I can see why it is so well loved。 This story is perfect for hardcore Tolkien fans who want to know more a Based on my enjoyment of the poem itself, I would give Beren and Luthien 3 stars, but when looking at the story itself, I rate this 4,5 stars。 It is simply one of the most beautiful love stories of all time, with themes that are relevant to this day。 The story manages to flesh out Middle Earth’s lore, while being self contained。 While I personally don’t enjoy the writing style of this book, I can see why it is so well loved。 This story is perfect for hardcore Tolkien fans who want to know more about the beautiful story of Beren and Luthien after reading about it in The Silmarilion。 。。。more

Beren and Luthien is a wonderful story from Tolkien but this book is just a quick cash grab of previously released material。 No attempt whatsoever was made to create a cohesive, complete story as was done in THE CHILDREN OF HURIN and was surely what the fans really wanted。

I definitely prefer the prose of Tolkien over his poems。 The book has a value for sure, mostly because you get to see the evolution of the story of Beren and Luthien but as literature per se, it didn't give me something more than the silmarillion, like the Children of Hurin did with all its details, fleshing out of the story etc。 I definitely prefer the prose of Tolkien over his poems。 The book has a value for sure, mostly because you get to see the evolution of the story of Beren and Luthien but as literature per se, it didn't give me something more than the silmarillion, like the Children of Hurin did with all its details, fleshing out of the story etc。 。。。more

A companion piece for the Silmarillion。 There is an academic nature to this book。 You will not find a straight story but a collection of different sources brought together to tell the tale。 Evidence in abundance why the author was a professor and credit to the devotion of his son。

I loved this story when I read just the small sampling in the Silmarillion。 Beren and Luthien provided a context and completeness to the tale that Tolkien intended。 Plus, we got Tevildo, Prince of Cats。The troubles I had with this were around the verse and also the many starts and stops of the compiled writing。First, I don’t have much experience with reading verse, so I had a difficult time nailing down the cadence in which it was intended to be read。Second, as Christopher Tolkien explained, JRR I loved this story when I read just the small sampling in the Silmarillion。 Beren and Luthien provided a context and completeness to the tale that Tolkien intended。 Plus, we got Tevildo, Prince of Cats。The troubles I had with this were around the verse and also the many starts and stops of the compiled writing。First, I don’t have much experience with reading verse, so I had a difficult time nailing down the cadence in which it was intended to be read。Second, as Christopher Tolkien explained, JRR Tolkien changed the names of some pretty central characters multiple times, so it became a whose who that got incredibly tangled。 I can only imagine what Christopher Tolkien had to go through to edit it to this point。Altogether, I should have known what I was signing up for。 It, however, will not deter me from reading other Tolkien tales。 。。。more

Christopher Tolkien doesn't hide the facts, in fact he's brutally honest: This is an incomplete book。 In fact it's several editions of an incomplete story bundled into a book。Rather than attempting to fill in the gaps, the editor/son lays out everything he found in his father's notes, even when it was indecipherable, or scribbled on a fragment of a page。It's an interesting read。 Sometimes hard to remember which facts are true in each successive version of the story。 Best to keep your copy of Sil Christopher Tolkien doesn't hide the facts, in fact he's brutally honest: This is an incomplete book。 In fact it's several editions of an incomplete story bundled into a book。Rather than attempting to fill in the gaps, the editor/son lays out everything he found in his father's notes, even when it was indecipherable, or scribbled on a fragment of a page。It's an interesting read。 Sometimes hard to remember which facts are true in each successive version of the story。 Best to keep your copy of Silmarillion handy to remind yourself of the "true" (i。e。 final) history。 。。。more

Great for anyone who loves Tolkien and his universe。 This book also explains the iterations of the story which is characteristic of many of his middle earth stories。

This is for Tolkien completionists only。 The more interesting bits involved Christopher Tolkien’s commentary on how this story evolved and what JRRT intended for the story。 The lays, I must admit, were a struggle for me to read。

I wasn't sure what to expect from this book besides Beren and Luthien told in perhaps a bit more story like way than what was given in the Silmarillion。 Instead, it was a sort of collection of all stories, poems, and small phrases (sometimes apparently on scraps of paper) that Christopher brought together to create the most "complete" story of Beren and Luthien possible。It was almost like a historian, researching, reading, and finding materials to create a comprehensive story of a time period。 C I wasn't sure what to expect from this book besides Beren and Luthien told in perhaps a bit more story like way than what was given in the Silmarillion。 Instead, it was a sort of collection of all stories, poems, and small phrases (sometimes apparently on scraps of paper) that Christopher brought together to create the most "complete" story of Beren and Luthien possible。It was almost like a historian, researching, reading, and finding materials to create a comprehensive story of a time period。 Christopher gives the reader options almost, on how Tolkien created Beren and Luthien。 There's at least two stories, similar but different, in how it could go。 There's extras added to show how certain characters got to where they were in Beren and Luthien。 It explores not only the story, but the changes made, decisions that Tolkien made as he wrote and rewrote sections, sometimes spanning across several years as he revisited the topic。I was pleasantly surprised that this wasn't a flowery version of Beren and Luthien, but a kind of historical essay that delves into well-known stories of Middle Earth that can still seem muddled due to their place in it's history。I think Christopher did and excellent job working through Tolkien's scraps (and I'm sure there was a lot of them) and giving Lord of the Rings lovers more to read about。 。。。more

Delusione。 Ho preso questo libro in biblioteca dopo aver visto il film sulla vita di Tolkien che si concludeva con la lapide in cui erano scritti proprio questi due nomi, quello di JRR e quello della sua amata relativi ai loro personaggi nella fantasia dello scrittore。 Allora quando ho scoperto che c’era un libro intitolato proprio con questi due nomi e firmato JRR Tolkien mi sono detta lo devo leggere, devo conoscere questa storia che aveva scritto su questi due personaggi ispirati a lui e alla Delusione。 Ho preso questo libro in biblioteca dopo aver visto il film sulla vita di Tolkien che si concludeva con la lapide in cui erano scritti proprio questi due nomi, quello di JRR e quello della sua amata relativi ai loro personaggi nella fantasia dello scrittore。 Allora quando ho scoperto che c’era un libro intitolato proprio con questi due nomi e firmato JRR Tolkien mi sono detta lo devo leggere, devo conoscere questa storia che aveva scritto su questi due personaggi ispirati a lui e alla sua amata。 Quando ho cominciato a leggere però ho capito che c’era qualcosa che non andava allora sono tornata indietro a guardare la copertina e mi sono assicurata che fosse stato scritto proprio da JRR infatti c’era scritto così poi però dentro c’è scritto anche curato da Christopher, il figlio。 Il problema non è che questo libro è stato scritto da uno e curato, sistemato, dall’altro, il libro è stato scritto da Christopher con i pezzi di appunti del padre commentati non a parte da lui ma nel mezzo, prima, dopo e durante, continuamente come se lui parlando ce ne raccontasse un pezzo poi lo commenta, parla in prima persona, mio padre era andato qui era andato là ho trovato queste scartoffie l’editore non la pubblicate c’è un discorso scritto da lui poi di tanto in tanto parti narrative di questi due personaggi e di come lo JRR li ha descritti creando una sua storia che emergeva di molte altre sue opere e infatti nel libro la stessa storia è riportata in varie salse poema prosa appunti, sempre la stessa storia ma vista da vari punti di vista dallo scrittore JRR che però non ha mai concluso niente a proposito di Beren e Lúthien, lui non l’ha mai pubblicato questo libro! Non è neanche che il figlio ha trovato il manoscritto pronto, ha corretto la grammatica e l’ha pubblicato。 No! Christopher è entrato in questo libro ha parlato di se stesso in prima persona tra le pagine ha detto quello che ha fatto, il lavoro sicuramente c’è stato, tantissimo lavoro da parte sua, ma purtroppo questa non è narrativa è un documentario! E non mi sembra giusto scrivere il nome del padre in copertina quando in realtà l’hai scritto tu Christopher, tu hai fatto la ricerca hai fatto copia incolla ma il libro è il tuo no il suo perché non c’è scritto il tuo nome? Perché comunque fa un altro effetto vedere scritto JRR piuttosto che Christopher davanti a Tolkien! Io posso capire tu se rimasto affascinato dal tuo grandioso padre che ha creato un mondo e lui te ne ha raccontato una piccola parte e tu una volta che lui se ne è andato hai avuto la necessità di tornare in quel mondo ed esplorarlo ma tu non lo stai facendo per piacere personale lo sai facendo…。 Pardon, lo stavi facendo per emergere anche tu stesso…。 Ma in che modo stavi emergendo? Dietro il nome di JRR! Questa storia della copertina con il nome del padre non ha senso e io non l’avrei letto sapendo che cos’era…。ecco vedi cosa succede? È una copertina che trae in inganno il lettore, è un’operazione di marketing bello e buono…comunque io il libro l’ho preso biblioteca quindi a me non mi hanno fregato。 Non voglio parlare male di chi non c’è più, voglio solo puntualizzare quello che è successo e di come ci sono rimasta male e di come questo libro non mi è piaciuto per niente anzi l’ho trovato una lagna incredibile! Ho letto il signore degli anelli, tutti e tre, ho letto lo Hobbit, ho visto i film e ho ripensato automaticamente a un’altra questione che era venuta fuori ovvero si era saputo che la famiglia Tolkien (quindi tutti tranne il diretto interessato che era morto) aveva negato il diritto a qualsiasi altro film。 Ora ho letto che Christopher si è sempre messo contro questa filmografia fatta oltre a non voler concedere i diritti ad eventuali altri film。 Ho letto invece che il figlio di Christopher, Simon, è andato contro il padre a difesa dei film e che cosa ho detto poi? Queste sono informazioni accessibili a tutti, su Wikipedia, che Christopher ha anche disconosciuto il figlio! Si sono riappacificati solo poco prima che Christopher morisse… Ma vogliamo forse negare il fatto che i film del signore degli anelli hanno reso la saga di Tolkien alla portata di tutti? Prima era qualcosa un po’ come Narnia se non eri uno appassionato di letteratura inglese era difficile che conoscevi il signore degli anelli co,e Narnia, una letteratura inglese ricercata e di tempi passati, noi stiamo parlando di favolette e neanche di materiale che a scuola ti mettono a disposizione。 Non sia mai che invece di fare rosso malpelo si fa Narnia o lo Hobbit, ma questo è un’altra storia! Quindi io devo ringraziare i sei film che mi hanno permesso di andare a prendere il libro perché se no non ci sarei mai andata, chi lo conosceva? Per quanto riguarda il film de il signore degli anelli non c’era neanche a disposizione tutto quell’Internet che c’è ora…。E allora mi viene spontaneo pensare che Christopher se l’è presa con i film perché sono riusciti a fare quello che avrebbe voluto far lui, guadagnandosi magari una certa fetta di gloria, ovvero portare questo mondo magico e fantastico alla gente! Ii film sono leggermente diversi, su sull’Hobbit hanno messo un elfo in più ma insomma non è che sono successe delle tragiche modifiche come spesso accade tra film e libro… Dunque io ho visto quest’uomo Christopher che ha cercato quasi disperatamente di capire come fare per entrare nel mondo che si era costruito il padre tutto intorno e che era rimasto a lui piuttosto inaccessibile! Perché se fosse stato accessibile e chiaro lui avrebbe scritto Beren e Lúthien aggiungendo una piccola postilla scrivendo solo “ho trovato questo manoscritto” oppure “mio padre mi ha raccontato questa storia…” invece è tutto un casino, di lui che entra nel libro e distrugge la narrativa… Il problema alla base è che chi si crea un mondo difficilmente riesce a farne partecipe anche gli altri perché i personaggi diventano a lui più reali delle persone addirittura Tolkien aveva creato un linguaggio! Era proprio mondo suo al 100% ed è normale che sarebbe stato impossibile da tramandare concretamente, avrebbe dovuto passare tutti i giorni della sua vita a raccontarlo al figlio e se lo avesse fatto allora sarebbe stato diverso… Dunque io do una stella non alla storia che effettivamente occupa una ventina di pagine scritte in prosa ma a tutta la tiritera intorno prima dopo durante e alla presenza costante del figlio nel libro che finge di essere del padre, il libro che non è stato scritto dal padre ma solo dal figlio, per quanto la storia di Beren e Lúthien sia affascinante e stupenda。 Devo anche ammettere che lo stile di Tolkien è complicatissimo proprio perché è un suo mondo…。poi ho letto proprio in questo libro che una volta uscito lo Hobbit aveva avuto tanto successo e l’editore gli aveva chiesto “scrivimi qualcos’altro di questi Hobbit” ma JRR aveva risposto “a me non mi viene in mente niente”…。ma certo! JRR sta nel suo mondo e ci vede quello che vede, non a comando…。 stiamo parlando di un re della scrittura fantasy che ha costruito un mondo che è rimasto chiuso dopo che è morto…。ci sono delle testimonianze delle cose lasciate scritte da lui ma ormai nessuno potrà entrarci come ci avrebbe potuto permettere lui di farlo。Christopher avrebbe dovuto permettere al cinema di entrare in questo mondo e lui doveva guidarli nel materiale da scegliere come costruire scene persone personaggi invece di opporsi, lui ha voluto fare tutto da solo però così la sua missione è fallita。PsQuesta vicenda mi fa pensare a Stieg Larsson e a come i suoi libri sono addirittura usciti tutti dopo che è morto! C’è qualcosa che non va, ritengo che chi scrive deve essere lasciato in pace dopo che è morto, inutile dire che gli farebbe piacere perché è morto e solo lo scrittore è in grado di farci vedere quello che ha nella mente… tutti gli altri vogliono solo speculare sul suo lavoro。 。。。more
