TOLKIEN, John Ronald Reuel

Published by Detskaya literatura, Moscow, 1982

About this Item

The first Russian edition of the First volume of the epic  "The Lord of the Rings". For the first time, Russian readers finally got acquainted with Middle-earth.  Some names and titles are stressed. The subtitle "The First Chronicle" stated in the output data implied a subsequent publication of the remaining volumes - but this happened after the collapse of the Union, 8 years later. The prologue is shortened to 6 pages, many poems are missing, including "Namarië". At the end there is a short afterword by V. Muravyov "The Creation of Reality" with a short biography of Tolkien. Translation from English by A. Kistyakovsky and V. Muravyov. Poems translated by A. Kistyakovsky. Illustrations by G. Kalinovsky. The first edition had a blue cover (this copy), an additional edition with a white one. Very slight 'waviness' on the upper edge without streaks, minor dent on the edge (all in the photo), otherwise like new.
