– Først av alt må det understrekes at disse bøkene ikke er lettleste. Til tider kan det være veldig vanskelig å komme seg framover i boken. Men er man Tolkien fan, så er det verdt det. For å si det veldig enkelt kan man si at mer kjente 'Silmarillion' er hentet fra disse bøkene. Et slags, litt mer velskrevet sammendrag om du vil. Man finner mye interessant i de fem første bøkene i serien 'The History of Middle Earth', som totalt sett består av tolv bøker. Det som jeg personlig fant veldig interessant var en del kart man ikke har sett før. Særlig noen kart som viste verden i gamle dager var svært interessant. Det må også nevnes at bøkene er veldig utfordrende. Disse bøkene er ikke oversatt til norsk, og engelsken som blir brukt er ikke av den enkle sorten. I denne pakken på fem bøker får man mye lesestoff til en rimelig pris. Garantert noe fansen vil sette pris på.
Histories of Middle-Earth
Medlemsvurdering:
These are excellent books which explore the writing of J. R. R. Tolkien which eventually led to the Silmarillion. Granted, these books are not for everyone. They are definately for the very dedicated fan who is willing to take the time to slave over the often difficult writing and the allusions to things that one has no capability of understanding without reading the rest of the book. Though at first I was very confused when reading The Book of Lost Tales 1, by the time I got to the end of it I understood it perfectly. It was a joy to read all of these books, and it really stinks that they weren't offered as a box set when I bought mine. One of the best books in this set is, The Lays of Beleriand. It is a book of essentially two very long epic poems and they are excellent. I didn't like fantasy until I read Tolkien and the same is true of poetry.Arnez
