Beskrivelse
"Beren and Luthien" by J. R. R. Tolkien collects the various versions of Tolkien's beautiful tale of Beren and Lúthien and shows how the story evolved through the years. The legend was essential to the development of "The Simarillion" by J.R.R. Tolkien and is now - for the first time ever - presented as a separate story.
The legend of Beren and Lúthien is a beautiful tale from Middle-earth about Beren, a brave human man, and his lover Lúthien, a noble Elven lady. Lúthien's father who is Lord of the Elves disapproves wholeheartedly of the romance blooming between his daughter and this unworthy mortal. He decides that Beren only will be allowed to marry Lúthien if he completes an impossible quest: He must rob the evil Dark Lord Morgoth and recover a Simaril from his clutches. With Lúthien by his side Beren will embark on the most difficult task of his life.
"Beren and Luthien" by J. R. R. Tolkien is illustrated by the masterful Alan Lee who is famous for his fantasy works inspired by Tolkien's books. Lee is also renowned for his work as lead conceptual artist on Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" movie trilogies.
