A collectable signed first edition. This is another paragraph Book Description: The tale of Beren and Lúthien was, or became, an essential element in the evolution of The Silmarillion, the myths and legends of the First Age of the World conceived by J.R.R. Tolkien. Returning from France and the battle of the Somme at the end of 1916, he wrote the tale in the following year. Essential to the story, and never changed, is the fate that shadowed the love of Beren and Lúthien: for Beren was a mortal man, but Lúthien was an immortal Elf. Her father, a great Elvish lord, in deep opposition to Beren, imposed on him an impossible task that he must perform before he might wed Lúthien. This is the kernel of the legend; and it leads to the supremely heroic attempt of Beren and Lúthien together to rob the greatest of all evil beings, Melkor, called Morgoth, the Black Enemy, of a Silmaril. n this book Christopher Tolkien has attempted to extract the story of Beren and Lúthien from the comprehensive work in which it was embedded; but that story was itself changing as it developed new associations within the larger history. To show something of the process whereby this legend of Middle-earth evolved over the years, he has told the story in his father's own words by giving, first, its original form, and then passages in prose and verse from later texts that illustrate the narrative as it changed. Presented together for the first time, they reveal aspects of the story, both in event and in narrative immediacy, that were afterwards lost. Signed by Illustrator(s).

Leinen. Zustand: gut. Erste Aufl. Fadengehefteter Ganzleineneinband mit montiertem Titelrückenschild. Der Einband etwas randgedunkelt bzw. dezent randfleckig, Schnitte und Papier altersgemäß nachgedunkelt, der Seiten- und Fußschnitt auch etwas berieben, die entsprechenden Seiten ebd. mit winziger Ranbereibung oder winzigem Knickchen der unteren Ecke, ansonsten guter Erhaltungszustand dieses Exemplars der deutschen Erstausgabe des zweiten Bandes von Lewis' Science Fiction-Trilogie. Die Perelandra-Trilogie ist eine Trilogie von drei kosmischen Romanen des irischen Autors Clive Staples Lewis (C. S. Lewis). Es ist Fiction ohne Science. Lewis versucht den irdischen Horizont um den kosmischen zu erweitern. Auf Englisch wird sie Space Trilogy, Cosmic Trilogy oder Ransom Trilogy genannt. Es wird berichtet, dass Lewis den ersten Band der Reihe, Out of the Silent Planet, nach Diskussionen mit dem befreundeten Schriftsteller J. R. R. Tolkien über den Stand von Fiktion in Romanen schrieb. Tolkiens Entwurf eines Science-Fiction-Romanes mit dem Titel The Lost Road wurde jedoch nicht vollendet. Ein Entwurf wurde in Band fünf der The-History-of-Middle-earth-Reihe aufgenommen und Motive sollen eingeflossen sein in Tolkiens ebenfalls unvollendetes Werk The Notion Club Papers. Die drei Bände der Trilogie sind: 1. Out of the Silent Planet (1938, dt. Jenseits des schweigenden Sterns, erste dt. Ausgabe als Der verstummte Planet). Die Handlung spielt weitgehend auf dem Mars. 2. Perelandra (1943), auch als Voyage to Venus erschienen (dt. Perelandra). Die Handlung spielt weitgehend auf der Venus 3. That Hideous Strength (1945, dt. Die böse Macht). 1958 veröffentlichte der Verlag Avon unter dem Titel The Tortured Planet eine um ein Drittel gekürzte Fassung des Buches. Die Handlung spielt auf der Erde. Der fiktive Philologe Elwin Ransom ist die Hauptfigur der ersten beiden Bände und ein wichtiger Charakter im dritten Band. Ransom hat gewisse Ähnlichkeiten zum Autor C.S. Lewis: Er ist Universitätsprofessor, ein Experte für Sprachen und mittelalterliche Literatur, unverheiratet (Lewis heiratete erst mit 55 Jahren) und hat lediglich einen lebenden Verwandten. C. S. Lewis (Clive Staples Lewis, privat auch Jack genannt; * 29. November 1898 in Belfast; gestorben 22. November 1963 in Oxford) war ein irischer Schriftsteller und Literaturwissenschaftler. Er lehrte am Magdalen College der University of Oxford und hatte den Lehrstuhl für Englische Literatur des Mittelalters und der Renaissance an der University of Cambridge inne. Vor allem im angloamerikanischen Raum ist er bekannt für seine inzwischen auch verfilmte Kinderbuchserie Die Chroniken von Narnia. Er ist einer der einflussreichsten christlichen Apologeten der Neuzeit. C. S. Lewis verfasste neben seinen literaturkritischen Werken bekannte christliche apologetische Schriften sowie die ebenfalls christliche Symbolik verwendende Kinderbuchserie über das Land Narnia (Genre Fantasy) und die Perelandra-Trilogie (Genre Science-Fiction und Fantasy).

Good. Some creasing. Map trimmed to neatline, or just inside neatline, top, right, bottom. Price adjusted accordingly. Size 37.5 x 23.5 Inches. An example of one of the rarest and most iconic J. R. R. Tolkien 'Middle Earth' maps - the 1969 poster-map issued to promote Ballentine's first American issue of the Lord of the Rings , featuring the illustrations of Barbara Remington. An Unknown Land When Ballentine commissioned Barbara Remington to produce cover illustrations for the American issue of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings , they were uncannily reluctant to supply pre-release copies of the novels - so Barbara had to complete the illustrations with only a tenuous knowledge of the trilogy. Upon seeing her illustrations, Tolkien was justly confused by the lions and 'pumpkins in trees'. Remington's cover work nonetheless was popular and became synonymous with Tolkien's novels - so popular in fact Ballentine hired Barbara again to incorporate Tolkien's map of Middle Earth into this large promotional poster utilizing some of her most memorable Tolkien illustrations. Publication History and Census This poster was drawn by Barbara Remington and issued in 1969 by Ballentine Press in New York. Like all of Remington's work it is signed 'Brem'. The poster followed shortly on the release of the first American edition of the Lord of the Rings . We note two states, but due to trimming of lower margin, it is impossible to determine which one this is. Some examples bear the Ballentine Copyright and are priced $1.49. Other examples are priced at $3.00, suggesting that the popularity of the poster led to a fast price increase. Earlier examples also tend to be on slightly glossier paper. All examples are scarce both in institutional collections and on the market.
