Book Description Painstakingly restored from Tolkien's manuscripts and presented for the first time as a fully continuous and standalone story, the epic tale of The Children of Hurin will reunite fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves and Men, dragons and Dwarves, eagles and Orcs, and the rich landscape and characters unique to Tolkien. There are tales of Middle-earth from times long before The Lord of the Rings, and the story told in this book is set in the great country that lay beyond the Grey Havens in the West: lands where Treebeard once walked, but which were drowned in the great cataclysm that ended the First Age of the World. In that remote time Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in the vast fortress of Angband, the Hells of Iron, in the North; and the tragedy of Turin and his sister Nienor unfolded within the shadow of the fear of Angband and the war waged by Morgoth against the lands and secret cities of the Elves. Their brief and passionate lives were dominated by the elemental hatred that Morgoth bore them as the children of Hurin, the man who had dared to defy and to scorn him to his face. Against them he sent his most formidable servant, Glaurung, a powerful spirit in the form of a huge wingless dragon of fire. Into this story of brutal conquest and flight, of forest hiding-places and pursuit, of resistance with lessening hope, the Dark Lord and the Dragon enter in direly articulate form. Sardonic and mocking, Glaurung manipulated the fates of Turin and Nienor by lies of diabolic cunning and guile, and the curse of Morgoth was fulfilled. The earliest versions of this story by J.R.R. Tolkien go back to the end of the First World War and the years that followed; but long afterwards, when The Lord of the Rings was finished, he wrote it anew and greatly enlarged it in complexities of motive and character: it became the dominant story in his later work on Middle-earth. But he could not bring it to a final and finished form. In this book Christopher Tolkien has constructed, after long study of the manuscripts, a coherent narrative without any editorial invention. Amazon.com The first complete book by J.R.R. Tolkien in three decades--since the publication of The Silmarillion in 1977-- The Children of Húrin reunites fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves and Men, dragons and Dwarves, Eagles and Orcs. Presented for the first time as a complete, standalone story, this stirring narrative will appeal to casual fans and expert readers alike, returning them to the rich landscape and characters unique to Tolkien. From Publishers Weekly Tolkien fans are sure to treasure this tale of Middle-earth's First Age, which appeared in incomplete forms in the posthumously published The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales. Those earlier books, also edited by Tolkien's son, Christopher, only hinted at the depth and power of the tragic story of Túrin and Ni?nor, the children of Húrin, the lord of Dor-lómin, who achieved renown for having confronted Morgoth, who was the master of Sauron, the manifestation of evil in the Lord of the Rings. The lengthy and fatiguing battle against Morgoth forms the backdrop for the moving account of the life of Húrin's eldest son, Túrin, a valiant but proud warrior whose all too human frailties augur an unhappy end. Perhaps Tolkien's most three-dimensional figure, Túrin flees from the elven kingdom where he has grown into manhood, sheltered from the forces of evil, after he's unjustly judged responsible for another's death. He hides his true identity as he begins a new life as leader of a band of outlaws, a choice that has dire consequences when he crosses paths with a family member after many years of separation. Deftly balancing thrilling battles with moments of introspection, Tolkien's vivid and gripping narrative reaffirms his primacy in fantasy literature. From School Library Journal Adult/High School–While much of the material here was published posthumously in books like The Silmarillion (1985) and Unfinished Tales (1988, both Del Rey), Tolkien delivered it in a loosely connected way that made it difficult to read. Edited by his son, this new volume draws from both of these earlier sources to pull together a complete single narrative set in pre-Hobbit Middle Earth. Túrin, son of the human lord Húrin and the elven lady Morwen, becomes a pivotal force in the ongoing battle against evil in an epic adventure full of intrigue and clever battle scenes. The early parts of the story focus on Túrin's young life. As an adult, he is wrongly judged for the death of an elf and banished for the rest of his life. He manages to become the leader of a ragtag band of forest outlaws that cause no end of problems for forces of evil trying to usurp the kingdom. Túrin is charismatic, brave, cocky, and as equally skilled at getting into trouble as he is at getting out of it. Lee's black-and-white drawings and full-color paintings come from the traditions of fantasy illustration and offer dramatic visuals throughout the book. The language and vocabulary, especially in the dialogue, might intimidate casual readers, but ambitious fans of fantasy will find a work that reminds them why we continue to place Tolkien at the zenith of fantasy literature after so many years. –Matthew L.

The world first publication of a previously unknown work of fantasy by J.R.R. Tolkien, which tells the powerful story of a doomed young man who is sold into slavery and who swears revenge on the magician who killed his father. Kullervo son of Kalervo is perhaps the darkest and most tragic of all J.R.R. Tolkien's characters. 'Hapless Kullervo', as Tolkien called him, is a luckless orphan boy with supernatural powers and a tragic destiny. Brought up in the homestead of the dark magician Untamo, who killed his father, kidnapped his mother, and who tries three times to kill him when still a boy, Kullervo is alone save for the love of his twin sister, Wanona, and guarded by the magical powers of the black dog, Musti. When Kullervo is sold into slavery he swears revenge on the magician, but he will learn that even at the point of vengeance there is no escape from the cruellest of fates. Tolkien himself said that The Story of Kullervo was 'the germ of my attempt to write legends of my own', and was 'a major matter in the legends of the Frist Age'. Tolkien's Kullervo is the clear ancestor of Turin Turambar, tragic incestuous hero of The Silmarillion. In addition to it being a powerful story in its own right, The Story of Kullervo, published here for the first time with the author's drafts, notes and lecture-essays on its source-work, the Kalevala, is a foundation stone in the structure of Tolkien's invented world.

《火的记忆Ⅰ：创世纪》以编年体的形式记述了从哥伦布发现美洲大陆到1700年，两个多世纪的时间里在美洲大陆上发生的不为人知的真实历史。 全书分为两部分，第一部分“最初的声音”，以神话的形式再现了一个颇具魔幻色彩的、具有神性的美洲大陆。而第二部分“旧'新世界'”，从哥伦布发现美洲大陆开始，美洲陷入到了无止境的灾难之中，不仅资源被掠夺，土地被占有，记忆也被绑架。而在官方历史角落中被忽略的真实片段，正是作者关注与书写的重点。作者“试图拯救整个美洲被绑架的记忆”，以澎湃的激情将被遮蔽的真相和被抹杀的身份一一还原。字里行间洋溢出作者对伤痕累累的美洲大陆深沉的爱。 作者文风自由的特点在本书中得到淋漓尽致的展现。这部“多声部呈现”的作品正如作者所说“……我不知道它是不是一部小说，或者杂文、史诗、记录文献、编年史册抑或其他。”《火的记忆》三部曲是加莱亚诺最重要的作品，是作家历时9年（其中7年用于搜集、查证各种资料）、前后修改30余次的倾力之作。本书为三部曲中的第一部。书中图画均为作者手绘，亦为本书增色不少。 本书由香港作家、独立记者张翠容作序推荐。

《时日之子》是加莱亚诺生前出版的最后一部作品。 在这部以日历体的形式写出的著作中，作者将历史、政治、常识、立场融合进了366天里每一天的故事之中，以一贯的写作品格和独特眼光记录着在时间中稍纵即逝的瞬间，用睿智和简练的笔法，将一部视角独特、个人化的历史赋予了更为深远的意涵。 《时日之子》中的故事就像一个多棱镜，透射着历史的不同侧面，引人唏嘘与思考：在流亡中去世的诗人，无法知道半个世纪后祖国为其恢复国籍；士兵杀戮人民，而正直的妓女们拒绝为其服务；企图审判上帝的法庭，将一本圣经放在被告席上，并最终以对天空开枪作为“行刑”；受军事组织保护的公司，用枪击溃了工人的罢工，而死去工人的抚恤金却一分都没有给到家人手中…… 《时日之子》中种种黑暗与不公，在加莱亚诺犀利的笔触下无处隐藏，背后隐藏的人性的愚昧、贪婪、蛮横与虚伪更是昭然若揭。 2015年加莱亚诺去世，引发了全世界范围内的哀思与悼念。正如作者所说，“时间之风迟早会抹去一切足迹。”他一生为全世界读者留下了三十余部精彩的作品。本书是作者生前出版的最后一部著作，出版之后在国际上颇受赞誉。作家出版社将其首次引进国内，由《火的记忆》《拥抱之书》译者路燕萍博士倾情移译，以飨读者。

加莱亚诺作为拉美左派知识分子，被称为“拉丁美洲的声音”。一直力图重塑被抹杀的身份和被掩盖的真相。本书延续了他为底层发声的风格。333篇文章短小精致、立场鲜明，勾勒出在历史的不为人知角落中微小事物的伟大和庞然大物的渺小。在这部万花筒式的著作中，作者将不同的主题有机地整合为一个整体，将一段段丰饶而苦难的个人生活史用诗意的笔触加以还原，以时间之名彰显出个人生活细微处的伟大，将瞬间与永恒重新定义。 书中配有的图画是有千年历史的秘鲁卡哈马卡艺术图像，亦是本书不可或缺的一部分。

本书的191篇文章结构精巧、构思独特，以图文并茂的方式反映了作家自身的流亡生活、揭露了被拉美军事独裁政府的掩埋的真实历史。 加莱亚诺在本书中延续了一贯的为底层代言的立场，发论振聋发聩，掷地有声。话题涉猎广泛、包括对“恐怖文化”的批判、对“官僚主义”的揭露、对“勇气”的赞扬、对“体制”的诘问等方面。文笔犀利，见解深刻。 作者自由的文风在本书中表现得淋漓尽致，他打破传统的文学体裁的界定，运用片段式的叙述技巧，以简洁精炼的语言，化宏大的历史为一个个简单易懂的故事，为读者打来了一扇扇透视社会本质、还原历史真实的窗户。 书中配有的图画皆是作家亲笔所绘，与文章内容相得益彰，是这本书不可或缺的一部分。191篇文章的排序也是匠心独运，向读者传达了作家的写作原因、写作目的和写作手法。

这是一本关于拉丁美洲的经典作品。包括两大部分，第一部分题为“地球的富有造成人类的贫困”，讲述了旧殖民主义围绕拉丁美洲金银、农作物和其他矿产进行的掠夺史；第二部分题为“发展是遇难者多于航行者的航行”，叙述了新殖民主义如何通过自由贸易、贷款、铁路、阴谋和暴力将拉丁美洲的民族工业发展扼杀在襁褓之中，解析了投资、技术、经济援助、合资企业、金融机构、国际组织等现代文明手段如何不文明地参与了古老的掠夺战。
