Synopsis "The Lord Of The Rings Illustrated Edition (in English)"

For the first time ever, a very special edition of the J.R.R. Tolkien's classic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, gorgeously illustrated throughout in color by the author himself and with the complete text printed in two colors, plus sprayed edges and a ribbon bookmark.Since it was first published in 1954, The Lord of the Rings has been a book people have treasured. Steeped in unrivaled magic and otherworldliness, Tolkien's sweeping fantasy and epic adventure has touched the hearts of young and old alike. More than 150 million copies of its many editions have been sold around the world, and occasional collectors' editions become prized and valuable items of publishing.This one-volume, jacketed hardcover edition contains the complete text, fully corrected and reset, which is printed in red and black and features, for the very first time, thirty color illustrations, maps and sketches drawn by Tolkien himself as he composed this epic work. These include the pages from the Book of Mazarbul, marvelous facsimiles created by Tolkien to accompany the famous 'Bridge of Khazad-dum' chapter. Also appearing are two removable fold-out maps drawn by Christopher Tolkien revealing all the detail of Middle-earth.Sympathetically packaged to reflect the classic look of the first edition, this new edition of the bestselling hardback will prove irresistible to collectors and new fans alike.

"John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (Bloemfontein, hoy Sudáfrica; 3 de enero de 1892-Bournemouth, Dorset; 2 de septiembre de 1973), a menudo citado como J. R. R. Tolkien o JRRT, fue un escritor, poeta, filólogo, lingüista y profesor universitario británico, nacido en Sudáfrica. Conocido principalmente por ser el autor de las novelas clásicas de fantasía heroica El hobbit, El Silmarillion y El Señor de los Anillos.

De 1925 a 1945, Tolkien ocupó la cátedra Rawlinson y Bosworth en la Universidad de Oxford, enseñando anglosajón y, de 1945 a 1959, fue profesor de Lengua y Literatura inglesa en Merton. Era amigo cercano del también escritor C. S. Lewis y ambos eran miembros de un informal grupo de debate literario conocido como los Inklings. Tolkien fue nombrado Comendador de la Orden del Imperio Británico por la reina Isabel II el 28 de marzo de 1972.1"
