    Designed to take fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings deeper into the myths and legends of Middle-earth The Silmarillion is an account of the Elder Days, of the First Age of Tolkien's world. It is the ancient drama to which the characters in The Lord of the Rings look back, and in whose events some of them such as Elrond and Galadriel took part. The tales of The Silmarillion are set in an age when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle-Earth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the recovery of the Silmarils, the jewels containing the pure light of Valinor. Included in the book are several shorter works. The Ainulindale is a myth of the Creation and in the Valaquenta the nature and powers of each of the gods is described. The Akallabeth recounts the downfall of the great island kingdom of Numenor at the end of the Second Age and Of the Rings of Power tells of the great events at the end of the Third Age, as narrated in The Lord of the Rings. This pivotal work features the revised, corrected text and includes, by way of an introduction, a fascinating letter written by Tolkien in 1951 in which he gives a full explanation of how he conceived the early Ages of Middle-earth.

    Für Kinder ist Obdachlosigkeit und Wohnungsnot nicht einfach zu begreifen. Dieses russische Volksmärchen wurde von dem Künstler Igor Oleynikov modern interpretiert und erzählt  vor allem in seinen meisterlichen Illustrationen, was es heißt, kein Zuhause mehr zu haben, wie Menschen in diese Situation kommen können und dass sie untereinander zusammenhalten. Die Maus braucht ein Dach über dem Kopf. Sie findet ein leeres Haus und richtet sich dort ein. Die Eidechse kann nicht länger in der Bahnhofshalle leben. Im Haus der Maus bekommt sie ein eigenes Zimmer. Der Frosch wird arbeitslos, wo soll er nur hin? In diesem Haus ist auch er willkommen.  Der Hase kann nicht nach Hause zurück und auf der Parkbank ist es im Winter zu kalt. Alle diese Tiere leben glücklich zusammen. Bis der Wolf kommt. Der macht sich breit und stört die Gemeinschaft. Da taucht der Hausbesitzer auf und reißt alles ab. Die Tiere müssen sich ein neues Haus suchen. Aber den Wolf lassen sie nicht mehr rein. Eine Bilderbuchgeschichte von sozialer Ausgrenzung aber auch von bedingungslosem Zusammenhalt.

    Illustrated by Alan Lee. Painstakingly restored from Tolkien´s manuscripts and presented for the first time as a continuous and standalone story, the epic tale of Beren and Luthien will reunite fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves and Men, Dwarves and Orcs and the rich landscape and creatures unique to Tolkien´s Middle-earth. The tale of Beren and Luthien was, or became, an essential element in the evolution of The Silmarillion, the myths and legends of the First Age of the World conceived by J. R. R. Tolkien. Essential to the story, and never changed, is the fate that shadowed the love of Beren and Luthien: for Beren was a mortal man, but Luthien was an immortal Elf. Her father, a great Elvish lord, in deep opposition to Beren, imposed on him an impossible task that he must perform before he might wed Luthien. This is the kernel of the legend; and it leads to the supremely heroic attempt of Beren and Luthien together to rob the greatest of all evil beings, Melkor, called Morgoth, the Black Enemy, of a Silmaril. In this book Christopher Tolkien has attempted to extract the story of Beren and Luthien from the comprehensive work in which it was embedded; but that story was itself changing as it developed new associations within the larger history. To show something of the process whereby this legend of Middle-earth evolved over the years, he has told the story in his father´s own words by giving, first, its original form, and then passages in prose and verse from later texts that illustrate the narrative as it changed. Presented together for the first time, they reveal aspects of the story, both in event and in narrative immediacy, that were afterwards lost.
