Commentary Conducive To Books The Book of Lost Tales, Part One (The History of Middle-Earth #1)

The Book of Lost Tales 1 stands at the beginning of the entire conception of Middle-earth and Valinor. Embedded in English legend and English association, they were set in the narratve frame of a great westward voyage over the Ocean by a mariner named Eriol (or Ælfwine) to Tol Eressëa, the Lonely Isle, where Elves dwelt; from them he learned their true story, the Lost Tales of Elfinesse. In the Tales are found the earliest accounts and original ideas of Gods and Elves; Dwarves and Orcs; the Silmarils and the Two Trees of Valinor; Nargothrond and Gondolin; and the geography and cosmology of the invented world.

Write Up Appertaining To Books The Book of Lost Tales, Part One (The History of Middle-Earth #1)

Oh Tolkien! This book was about the beginning of Middle Earth (even though it is not called that yet) all these stories Tolkien wrote when he was young...all these poems I had never read before. There were times I would just stop and re-read something because it was so beautiful. The first story was my favorite, "The Cottage of Lost Play." It was beautiful! The description of the tree Laurelin in "The Coming of the Valor,"..."Behold from that place that had been watered from Kulullin rose a

The History of the Middle Earth was put together by Christopher Tolkien, JRR's son. The effort involved sifting through his fathers notes and organizing them, which in itself is a difficult task. Oft time names were changed from story to story and Christopher had to decipher outlines and light pencil markings. In many a case we have just outlines and scant poems thrown around. But this is the backstory to the Simarrilion. This is where Middle Earth according to Tolkien was created. The story

I had thought that this book was a bunch of stories in the Tolkien mythology that had never been published. It was only after picking this book up at the library that I discovered what it actually is. After his father died, Christopher Tolkien first compiled, edited, and published The Silmarillion and then later made this twelve volume (yes, twelve!) set of what is essentially all of his father's unpublished and generally unfinished writings. This first book is what eventually was rewritten as

Having read The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion many times since I was a teen, as well as Tolkien's papers, letters, and biographies, I decided it was time to go the last mile and read his son Christopher's annotated compilation of the Professor's earlier drafts. BoLT/I is the first of the five-volume collection. It covers topics familiar to anyone who has read The Silmarillion--the creation of the world, the making of Valinor, the Valars' conflict with Melkor, the Awakening

A decade ago I made my way through the entire ten volumes of The History of Middle Earth and was greatly confused by much of it. It is not an easy read. A reference to Tintang Warbler sent back to volume one, The Book of Lost Tales, Part One.This time I found this early version of what eventually became The Silmarillion fascinating, seeing both the continuity and the vast differences between Tolkien's early and more developed conception of the origin of Middle Earth and the tragic history of the

Love this book. It is only for the die hard Tolkienite however. Also if you have the desire to get yourself into this book it is a good idea to read the Silmarillion at least twice. C. Tolkien did an absolutely amazing job with all 12 volumes. The way he organizes the books and his commentaries are exquisite. The level of detail he goes into explaining the evolution of the history of his fathers world is breath taking. For me, there was never a dull moment of reading this book, every page there

This book is like a window into Tolkien's amazing mind. I really enjoyed it, and some of the tales were absolutely fascinating! I appreciated the commentary by Christopher Tolkien, though it was long in places. Overall, a great book for any ardent Middle-Earth fan. :)
