Synopsis "The Children of Húrin (Pre-Lord of the Rings) (in English)"

Long before the One Ring was forged in the fires of Mount Doom, one man--Húrin--dared to defy Morgoth, the first and greatest of the dark lords to plague Middle-earth. Thus did he and his children, Túrin and Niënor, earn the enmity of a merciless foe that would shape the destiny of all the ages to come. Only J.R.R. Tolkien, the undisputed master of the fantastic, could have conceived this magical tale of Elves and Men united against a brutal foe. And only Christopher Tolkien, the master's son and literary heir, could have fit the pieces of his father's unfinished work together with such deep understanding and consummate artistry. With an introduction and appendiCes by Christopher Tolkien, who has also contributed maps and genealogy tables, and eight stunning paintings and twenty-five pencil drawings by Oscar-winning artist Alan Lee, The Children of Húrin at last takes its proper place as the very cornerstone of J.R.R. Tolkien's immortal achievement.

(Reino Unido, 1924 - Francia, 2020) fue un escritor británico, tercer hijo del también escritor J. R. R. Tolkien y Edith Bratt. Fue designado por éste como su albacea literario. Aparte de ser la principal autoridad mundial en la obra de J.R.R. Tolkien, ha sido un editor enormemente tenaz, perspicaz y solvente que realizó una obra titánica durante más de cuarenta años. Tras el fallecimiento de J.R.R. Tolkien en 1973, Christopher Tolkien dejó su trabajo en la Universidad de Oxford para dedicarse a poner orden en la enorme cantidad de manuscritos que el famoso autor de El Señor de los Anillos había dejado inéditos.
