Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. The first ever review of the Maps of the Wilderland on the front and back fly-leaves of The Hobbit, leading to the discovery that Professor Tolkien drew these imaginary maps from the Map of Wales back to front, or in reverse. This develops into a fascinating exercise in comparative map-reading and detection, including investigation into the allusions borrowed by Professor Tolkien in the imaginary tale, some from the ancient fairy tales of Wales recorded by the US Consul in Wales,Wirt Sikes, and written in 1880. The work is purposefully divided into Nine Parts, with three Parts subdivided into three site groupings: The Misty Mountains including Goblin-town alongside the Old Ford, the Carrock and the Iron Hills; Esgaroth, the Long Lake and the Lonely Mountain; with Mount Gundabad, the Grey Hills and the Withered Heath completing the picture of The Wilderland. The Author identifies all Nine places and more on the Map of Wales, revealed by the ¿Magic Mirror Maps. With four colour illustrations within the work. A UK first edition, first impression. A fine, tight copy in a fine, unclipped, unfaded wrapper. No inscriptions, no blemishes. A handsome copy. SIGNED by the author to the title page. Paypal accepted. Signed by Author(s).

Soft cover. Condition: New. New condition color illustrated softcover wraps. Includes Dedication and Foreword. Signed and inscribed by the author with black pen on the full title page. "The Shire, a swelling in J.R.R. Tolkien's fictional world of Middle-earth is the perfect palce for a young woman like Amanda Marcella, who does not fare well on her own. Sheltered within her marriage, she tries to escape the pressures of society. But the outside world has a way of creeping in and as it was in The Shire, unrest will determine the future. Inspiration for this fictioal place called The Shire was based on Tokkien's world of the hobbits. The history behind it refers to Tolkien's witnessing of the Industrial Revolution during his youth, and the harmful consequences. The Shire may be interpreted as a remedy to the problems of modern society and a return to simplicity. It is a region, largely removed from the "goings-on in the rest of Middle-earth." Hobbits didn't seek adventure or have the desire to leave the comfort of their homes." - from the Foreword "Sheltered within her marriage, Amanda Marcella wants to escape the pressures of society. However, the outside world has a way of creeping in and unrest determise her future. Thrust into a world of jealousy, obsession, and revenge, now there is no place to hide. She makes the decision to leave and tries to rebuild her life. The last thing she remebers is going to her car in the underground parking lot at work. Amanda wakes to find herself held captive in a tiny locked room. Who has taken her and what are they going to do? Terrified, she can only pray that someone will find her before it is too late." - from the rear outer cover. "A real page turner! Searching for the Shire is a good read with an unusual plot." - Daren Lamb. Signed by Author(s).

Paperback. Condition: NEUF. Si Howard Phillips Lovecraft (abordé dans le Bifrost n°73) peut-être considéré comme l'inventeur de la weird fiction, il ne fait pas de doute que c'est à John Ronald Reuel Tolkien que nous devons la fantasy telle que nous la connaissons aujourd'hui. Ecrivain, poète et philologue, ce professeur d'anglais qui fit l'essentiel de sa carrière à Oxford est en effet aujourd'hui unanimement considéré comme le père dudit genre dans son acception contemporaine tant son oeuvre majeure, Le Seigneur des Anneaux, et le monde imaginaire dans lequel il prend place, les Terres du Milieu, ont codé un domaine qui, avant lui, n'avait jamais connu une telle reconnaissance populaire.C'est donc à ce géant des lettres anglaises que nous nous attaquons dans ce numéro d'exception, sans doute l'un des auteurs les plus incontournables du XXe siècle.Au programme du dossier central de ce Bifrost, et au-délà des trois récits inédits signés Thomas Day, Xavier Mauméjean et Michael Swanwick, tous des textes de fantasy plus ou moins hommages à l'auteur de Bilbo le Hobbit :- un article biographique sur Tolkien par Isabelle Pantin (professeur de littérature comparée à l'Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris) - une très longue étude critique du Seigneur des Anneaux par Jean-Philippe Jaworski - Tolkien, langues inventées et réelles par Damien Bador - un énorme guide de lecture qui abordera non seulement les oeuvres de l'auteur, mais aussi l'imposant appareil critique qui lui a été consacré - le tout sous une couverture signée John Howe, l'un des illustrateurs " officiels " de Tolkien ayant collaboré aux deux cycles de films de Peter Jackson. - Nombre de page(s) : 192 - Poids : 265g - Genre : Science fiction / Fantastique / Terreur Revues BIFROST.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Scientific Study from the year 2020 in the subject Literature - Comparative Literature, grade: 10, , language: English, abstract: This paper deals with Romanian translations of J.R.R. Tolkien's 'The Hobbit'. Tolkien has acquired a certain status of fame in Romania, but apparently, to the large public, 'The Hobbit' is probably more famous than his creator and this is particularly due to Peter Jackson's film adaptation. However, there are already four retranslations of the novel, which is of no little significance, as this suggests an interest in the book itself. Our analysis relies on the four translations performed so far of Tolkien's 'Hobbit'. It was impossible to find the 2010 version signed by Dan Slu anschi that was issued by Paideia Publishing House. However, through the generosity of professor Slu anschi's son, we managed to have access to the text of the translation.The aim of this study is double fold. On the one hand, given that the translations were performed in different periods and the time span between them is considerable, we set to identify to which extent they bear the signs of their epoch. The moments of translation production were governed by distinct translation norms which were influenced by the prevalent ideological background, the status of the literary genre to which the novel pertains, the category of target readership envisaged and even the translators' own agenda, idea on authorship and view of the translation process itself. In close connection with the concept of translation norms, the other objective of the investigation is to detect the overall orientation of the Romanian versions, i.e. whether they tend towards domestication or foreignization.The research advances in concentric circles, from the more general towards particular elements of the analysis. A significant part is dedicated to the survey of children's literature, particularly since fantasy is most often included in this subdivision of literature; in addition, three of the four Romanian translations explicitly address children of various ages. Further still, we have also proceeded to a contextualisation of the translations, which includes background information on the translators, but also a general outlook on the status of translations in general and of fantasy in particular in the Romanian literary polysystem at the distinct moments of translation production. 92 pp. Englisch.

Blatt. Ca A4 grosses BRAVO-Poster von Orlando Bloom bildseitig mit schwarzem Edding signiert /// Autogramm Autograph signiert signed signee /// Orlando Jonathan Blanchard Copeland Bloom[1] (* 13. Januar 1977 in Canterbury, England) ist ein britischer Schauspieler. Orlando Bloom ist der Sohn der Kinderbuchautorin Sonia Copeland-Bloom.[2] Sein rechtlicher Vater ist der südafrikanische Journalist und Bürgerrechtler Harry Bloom. Erst im Erwachsenenalter erfuhr er, dass sein biologischer Vater sein Taufpate Colin Stone, ein Schuldirektor und enger Freund der Familie, ist.[3] Bloom besuchte verschiedene Schulen in seiner Geburtsstadt Canterbury und litt in seiner Jugend unter Legasthenie.[4] Seine Familie war sehr religiös und überzeugtes Mitglied der anglikanischen Kirche.[5] Karriere Ersten Kontakt mit der Schauspielerei und dem Rezitieren von Text bekam Bloom durch die christliche Erziehung, die ihm und seiner Schwester Samantha durch ihre Mutter zuteilwurde - nach eigenen Angaben mussten die Kinder jeden Sonntag Bibelverse auswendig lernen. Mit 16 Jahren zog Bloom nach London und schrieb sich an der Schauspielschule National Youth Theatre für Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene ein. Er verdiente sich in dieser Zeit auch erste Sporen als Komparse und Nebendarsteller. In der Produktion Wilde über Oscar Wilde von 1997 hatte er seinen ersten, kurzen Auftritt in einem Kinofilm. Bloom spielte einen Strichjungen; sein Dialog beschränkte sich auf einen einzigen Satz. Diese Szene bildet jedoch eine Schlüsselszene des Films: Oscar Wilde erkennt durch die Präsenz des Strichjungen erstmals seine eigene Homosexualität. Bloom bekam daraufhin einige Angebote für Film und Fernsehen, welche er ablehnte, um seine Ausbildung an der Guildhall School of Music and Drama zu beenden. Zwei Tage vor seinem Abschluss an der Guildhall School wurde Bloom mitgeteilt, dass er die Rolle des Elben Legolas in der Herr-der-Ringe-Verfilmung spielen durfte. Er hatte beim Casting zwar für die Rolle des Faramir vorgesprochen, dennoch war Peter Jackson überzeugt, in ihm den perfekten Legolas gefunden zu haben. Bloom verkörperte den Elb Legolas in allen drei Teilen der Trilogie und wurde dadurch weltweit bekannt. In der Drehpause zwischen dem ersten und zweiten Film der Herr-der-Ringe-Trilogie blieb Bloom zudem genug Zeit, um in Ridley Scotts Kriegsfilm Black Hawk Down eine kleine Nebenrolle zu übernehmen. Ab dem Jahr 2003 verkörperte Bloom fortlaufend die Rolle des Will Turner in der Reihe Pirates of the Caribbean. In Wolfgang Petersens Troja (2004) agierte Bloom an der Seite von Brad Pitt und Diane Kruger in der Rolle des Paris. Bei der Independent-Produktion Haven (2004) beteiligte er sich erstmals als Co-Produzent und trat an der Seite von Bill Paxton auf. Er übernahm 2005 die Hauptrolle in Ridley Scotts Historienepos Königreich der Himmel. Für diesen Film erhielt er den Publikumspreis Jameson People?s Choice Awards. Im Herbst 2005 zeigte Bloom sich mit dem Film Elizabethtown, in dem er an der Seite von Kirsten Dunst und Susan Sarandon spielte, erstmals in einer neuzeitlichen Komödie. Dabei konnte er die Kritiker mit einer soliden Leistung überzeugen, doch an den Kinokassen blieb der Film hinter den Erwartungen zurück. Die Produktionskosten wurden erst mit der DVD-Veröffentlichung wieder eingespielt. Im August 2010 begannen unter der Regie von Paul W. S. Anderson die Dreharbeiten in Bamberg und Würzburg zur Neuauflage von Die drei Musketiere (2011) in 3D, worin Bloom an der Seite von Christoph Waltz den Herzog von Buckingham spielt. Seit März 2011 ist Bloom das neue Werbegesicht von Hugo Boss Orange.[6] In der dreiteiligen Verfilmung des Tolkien-Romans und Herr-der-Ringe-Prequels Der Hobbit übernahm er erneut die Rolle des Legolas. /// Standort Wimregal Ill-Umschl2021-30 Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 10.

The Guardian "Demanding to be compared with English mythologies at times rises to the greatness of true myth." Financial Times Signed by Alan Lee and Brian Sibley. Slipcased Hardcover. UK First Edition, First Printing. ISBN 978-0008537838. Category: Sci-Fi & Fantasy. Universe: Lord Of The Rings.J.R.R. Tolkien s writings on the Second Age of Middle-earth, collected for the first time in one volume. J.R.R. Tolkien famously described the Second Age of Middle-earth as a dark age, and not very much of its history is (or need be) told . And for many years readers would need to be content with the tantalizing glimpses of it found within the pages of The Lord of the Rings and its appendices, including the forging of the Rings of Power, the building of the Barad-dûr and the rise of Sauron. It was not until Christopher Tolkien published The Silmarillion after his father s death that a fuller story could be told. Although much of the book s content concerned the First Age of Middle-earth, there were at its close two key works that revealed the tumultuous events concerning the rise and fall of the island of Númenor. Raised out of the Great Sea and gifted to the Men of Middle-earth as a reward for aiding the angelic Valar and the Elves in the defeat and capture of the Dark Lord Morgoth, the kingdom became a seat of influence and wealth; but as the Númenóreans power increased, the seed of their downfall would inevitably be sown, culminating in the Last Alliance of Elves and Men. Even greater insight into the Second Age would be revealed in subsequent publications, first in Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth, then expanded upon in Christopher Tolkien s magisterial twelve-volume The History of Middle-earth, in which he presented and discussed a wealth of further tales written by his father, many in draft form. Now, adhering to the timeline of The Tale of Years in the appendices to The Lord of the Rings, editor Brian Sibley has assembled into one comprehensive volume a new chronicle of the Second Age of Middle-earth, told substantially in the words of J.R.R. Tolkien from the various published texts, with new illustrations in watercolour and pencil by the doyen of Tolkien art, Alan Lee. J.R.R. Tolkien. John Ronald Ruel Tolkien was an English writer, poet, philologist and academic. He was the author of the high fantasy works The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II on 28 March 1971. After Tolkien's death, his son Christopher published a series of works based on his father's extensive notes and unpublished manuscripts, including The Silmarillion. These, together with The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, form a connected body of tales, poems, fictional histories, invented languages and literary essays about a fantasy world called Arda and Middle-earth within it. Between 1951 and 1955, Tolkien applied the term legendarium to the larger part of these writings. Signed by Illustrator(s).

Unfinished Tales is a collection of narratives ranging in time from the Elder Days of Middle-earth to the end of the War of the Ring, and provides those who have read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with a whole collection of background and new stories. The book concentrates on the realm of Middle-earth and comprises such elements as The Quest of Erebor, Gandalf s lively account of how it was that he came to send the Dwarves to the celebrated party at Bag-End; the emergence of the sea-god Ulmo before the eyes of Tuor on the coast of Beleriand; and an exact description of the military organization of the Riders of Rohan. Unfinished Tales also contains the only story about the long ages of Númenor before its downfall, and all that is known about such matters as the Five Wizards, the PalantÃri and the legend of Amroth. The tales were edited by Christopher Tolkien, who provides a short commentary on each story, helping the reader to fill in the gaps and put each story into the context of the rest of his father s writings. In celebration of its 40th anniversary, this new edition features 18 stunning paintings from critically acclaimed Tolkien artists, Alan Lee, John Howe & Ted Nasmith, which reveal the three Ages of Middle-earth like never before.

An early published work by Windham (1920-2010), his novel based on the life of his close friend Tennessee Williams, the book's dedicatee. An Atlanta native, Windham and his lover, Fred Melton, left for Manhattan in the late 1930's, where Windham was absorbed into the city's literary and artistic society. It was there he befriended Williams, Truman Capote, Paul Cadmus, Carl Van Vechten, and W.H. Auden all of them frequent visitors to Fire Island. Whether it references Auden's poem "The Hero" (Part XVI of "The Quest"), or his New York Times review of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Fellowship of the Ring ("The Hero Is a Hobbit"), his six factors of a hero's quest, or his persistent appeal of the Quest as a literary form, Windham's inscription is more perceptive than it appears on its face, showing a deep awareness of his friend's preoccupation with the concept of the hero in literature. A superb inscription, connecting two of the twentieth century's prominent queer men of letters. Kellner A6.a.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Limited Edition. SIGNED BY PRISCILLA TOLKIEN. The Collector s Edition ofTolkien: Maker of Middle-earthis a unique keepsake of the landmark exhibition on the life and work of JRR Tolkien at the Bodleian Library in 2018 and the Morgan Library & Museum in 2019. Bound in Cialux and published in a custom-made presentation box, the book is printed with special endpapers reproducing Tolkien s drawing of the Elvenking s Gate. The Collector s Edition contains seven unique facsimiles items of JRR Tolkien s work printed on fine Italian paper. These include Tolkien s painting of the dust jacket forThe Hobbit, reproduced for the first time on both sides, revealing Tolkien s plea to his first publisher, Stanley Unwin, to print the sun in red and culminating in the underlined instructions to his printer on the reverse of the painting IGNORE RED . Also included is a drawing of the Tower of Orthanc, drawn on the back of an Oxford undergraduate student s exam paper on Chaucer which Tolkien has cancelled with diagonal lines, as well as a manuscript page fromThe Lord of the Ringsdescribing and illustrating Shelob s Lair. Both of these have never before been reproduced on both sides. For over 23 years, Tolkien wrote and illustrated Christmas cards and letters for his children, complete with beautifully addressed envelopes and exquisitely painted postage stamps. Included here is the Father Christmas letter and envelope for 1936, addressed to Tolkien s youngest children, Christopher and Priscilla, and bearing a jewel-like stamp from the North Pole, together with the accompanying Christmas card depicting Polar Bear s bath (which overruns and risks wetting the children s gift on the floor below). In the bottom section of the image, Polar Bear instructs the elves on the unique number set aside for every child, ensuring that Christmas gifts are matched and delivered to the correct recipient. Finally, a facsimile of the newly discovered map drawn by Christopher Tolkien, with annotations in JRR Tolkien s hand (including notes such as Hobbiton is assumed to be approx. at the latitude of Oxford , Minas Tirith is about thelatitude ofRavenna ), from which Pauline Baynes painted her poster map of Middle-earth. Each facsimile item is reproduced from newly commissioned photography, faithfully reproducing the originals kept in an underground safe in the Bodleian Library. Presented in a custom-made envelope bearing Tolkien s cipher, they are accompanied by a six-page illustrated guide describing and interpreting each facsimile item. Every copy of the Collector s Edition includes a limitation page signed by Priscilla Tolkien and hand-numbered, guaranteeing authenticity and making this an exceptional, truly unique edition for collectors.

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Two volumes, each inscribed by the author. Stated First edition, first printings, March 1989. Velo-bound. A couple small spots of tea splash on fore-edge of one volume, else clean and unmarked. Approximately 500 & 300 leaves, printed on rectos only. 11 x 8.5 inches. Three copies noted on OCLC (Wheaton, Marquette, Bowling Green). Inscribed by Paul Nolan Hyde on preface pages, ''Bruce / I hope these / benefit you. I think / now you have everything I / do that is in print. It is a / bit overwhelming, but perhaps / useful after all. / [signature]'' and ''Bruce, / I think that / your enthusiasm for Tolkien's / linguistics may have overcome / you. It is not a totally unpleasant / disease. / [signature].'' Hyde's reverse dictionary of Tolkien's Middle-earth languages, like his seven-volume A Working Tolkien Glossary that consisted of four copies, is also presumed to have been produced in an extremely small number of copies. The first volume of this reverse dictionary consists of an alphabetical listing of reverse-spelled morphological elements in the languages of Middle-earth together with volume, page number where related information (such as language, part of speech, translation) is documented, in the following works of J.R.R. Tolkien: The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, The Book of Lost Tales, The Lays of Beleriand, The Shaping of Middle-earth, The Lost Road, The Return of the Shadow, The Road goes Ever On, The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien, The Monsters and the Critics, and ''Guide to Names'' in A Tolkien Compass. The second volume, which does not include meanings, is an alphabetical listing of reverse-spelled morphological elements in the languages of Middle-earth together with volume, page number, and the original entry (without other linguistic information) in the works of Tolkien as previously noted. Paul Nolan Hyde (1942-2021) was a professor of linguistics at Brigham Young University and a specialist in the Tolkien Legendarium. He authored Quenti Lambardillion, the Middle-earth linguistics column in the journal Mythlore between 1982 and 1992, and also contributed to Vinyar Tengwar, the journal of the Elvish Linguistic Fellowship. Tolkien's linguistics served as the subject of both his Ph.D. dissertation and his master's thesis: the 1200-page ''Linguistic Techniques Used in Character Development in the Works of J. R. R. Tolkien'' (Purdue, 1982) and ''A Descriptive Analysis of the Languages Used in J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings'' (BYU, 1972). Signed by Author(s).
