About this Item

Description:

London, George Allen & Unwin, 1977, in-8, legatura editoriale in piena tela blu con sovraccoperta illustrata (questa con piccolo strappetto, senza perdite rilevanti), pp. 365, [1]. Con due cartine f.t. impresse in rosso e nero, una a piena pagina e una ripiegata in fine. Prima edizione, postuma, per il mercato inglese, che era caratterizzata dal prezzo sulla aletta anteriore della sovraccoperta (£ 4.95) - ma l'angolo dell'aletta con il prezzo in questo esemplare è stato tagliato via. Si tratta del secondo stato della prima tiratura, contraddistinto dai dati di stampa "Printed [.] by Billing & Sons Ltd [.]". Reca tutte le caratteristiche della prima tiratura: a pagina 330, alla riga quattro manca il punto dopo Feanor, a pagina 352, riga 39, "and" è in corsivo tra "Lord of Waters", "King of Sea" in corsivo, inoltre la mappa a piena pagina in rosso e nero è posta prima di pagina 121. Il Silmarillion è un'opera mitologica scritta da Tolkien - e pubblicata postuma nel 1977 da Christopher Tolkien con la collaborazione di Guy Gavriel Kay - che narra le vicende di Arda, dalla sua creazione fino alla Terza Era. L'opera dà forma a una estesa, sebbene incompleta, narrazione che descrive l'universo di Eä, nel quale si trovano le terre di Valinor, Beleriand, Númenor e la Terra di Mezzo, nell'ambito della quale si svolgeranno Lo Hobbit e Il Signore degli Anelli. Non è - e non vuole essere - un romanzo, ma piuttosto un corpus mitologico, ideato come cuore dell'universo tolkieniano; una serie di narrazioni e vicende a cui l'autore lavorò per tutta la vita, senza terminarle, utilizzandole nel frattempo quale base per sviluppare alcuni dei suoi capolavori. Ottime condizioni. Seller Inventory # LD/170894
