The Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion ペーパーバック – 2005/10/17
英語版
Wayne G. Hammond
(著),
Christina Scull
(著)
A unique insight into the evolution of The Lord of the Rings, detailing how mistakes crept in almost from the first printing, how Tolkien changed the text during his lifetime, posthumous changes made by Christopher Tolkien and a previously unpublished Guide to the Names in The Lord of the Rings, written by Tolkien himself. Since its first publication fifty years ago, The Lord of the Rings has generated an almost unparalleled interest from both fans and critics alike. Every detail of its 500,000+ words has been examined and discussed, making it the most widely studied - and enjoyed - work of fiction of the 20th century. In The Lord of the Rings: Fifty Years, Wayne G. Hammond and Christina Scull unravel the story of how an epic battle has been fought for decades, first by Professor Tolkien, then by his son, Christopher, to maintain the integrity of this huge story. They examine the work chapter by chapter, providing details of: Notes on significant author changes, when they entered, and any background history Notes on changes made by Christopher Tolkien, and differences between the earliest manuscripts and the printed text Differences between editions around the world References to people, places and events that appear in other Tolkien books Explanations of unusual words Translations and primers on how to use Tolkien's invented languages Appearing for the first time, Tolkien's own "Guide to the Names in The Lord of the Rings", with fascinating notes by him about many of the names he invented The text will also be illustrated with examples of manuscripts, maps and drawings that Tolkien created as he was writing the story, including some that have not appeared in print before. The Lord of the Rings: Fifty Years will provide a unique insight into the creative process of a true genius, and will offer a detailed and informative account of how the Book of the Century has evolved from one generation to the next.

Best Tolkien Related Book I've Bought In A Long Time!
2024年1月26日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Well, this was refreshing. Bought on a whim and wondering why this version was half the price of the "60th Anniversary edition (January 1, 2014), ISBN-13 : 978-0007556908". Fortunately, I was not disappointed. Amazon actually shipped this heavy book with pretty adequate padding, and it was not damaged at all. But the info Amazon displays on the purchase page for it is wrong. The book actually has 894 pages, not 416, and the publisher is Haughton Mifflin Harcourt not William Morris. And the binding is clearly Smyth Sewn as all Tolkien books should be! At least the ISBN-13 matches the Amazon description: 978-0618642670, and the publishing date is 2005.
I'm a very happy customer!

Ótima Edição - Edição Atual 2014
2021年9月19日にブラジルでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Comprei essa edição já sabendo que era a edição antiga de 2005, pois estava mais barata que a de 2014 e todas as erratas são disponibilizadas gratuitamente no site oficial dos autores. Porém, fui surpreendido com grata surpresa. O corpo dessa edição é a edição atualizada de 2014, como se pode notar na foto em anexo do prólogo. Também conferi todas as erratas que seriam das edições 2005 e 2008, estão todas corrigidas. Os únicas erratas são referentes a edição de 2014 (https://www.hammondandscull.com/addenda/readers3.html). Comprem sem medo!

The definitive, must-read guide to Tolkien's epic Lord of the Rings
2013年5月18日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
JRR Tolkien's epic creation "The Lord of the Rings" is a rather complex single volume, containing such detailed underpinning and intricate otherworldly details as to make it somewhat confusing! This spectacular volume, by Wayne G. Hammond and Christina Scull is the ultimate annotated handbook to Tolkien's work. Both internationally acclaimed scholars examine and scrutinize in-depth Tolkien's masterpiece, going through each chapter and offering expert insights into evolution, structure and meaning. In this thoroughly modern age the use of language in Tolkien's work could be considered old-fashioned and confusing, together with the richness and complexity of it to be somewhat overwhelming to many readers. With this resource to hand, every reader is now able to enjoy Tolkien's work to its full extent, with illuminating clarity and enlightening enjoyment.
Reading this book was like opening a window into the heart of a literary genius, whose lifetime of achievements (including other works as well as the cherished Lord of the Rings) continues to inspire, amaze and delight. Having read his books many times, I found it so instructive reading this `reader's companion' and only wish that I had read it sooner for it has truly heightened my appreciation for his work. Complete with a useful Index and a list of works by JRR Tolkien, this comprehensive and indispensable book is an addition which I would gladly recommend to all Tolkien enthusiasts and seasoned readers. Likewise if you are planning to read `The Lord of the Rings' for the first time, I would strongly suggest purchasing this additional book so as to read in conjunction with Tolkien's story.
Included:
*A brief history of the Lord of the Rings
*Chronologies, calendars and moons
*Maps of Middle-Earth
*The book in more detail ~ The Fellowship of the Ring, the Two Towers, The Return of the King.
*Languages, Letters and family trees
I purchased my copy from Amazon UK, at a very reasonable price.

Companion indeed
2012年11月8日にドイツでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
This is a wonderful book to have and read while you are reading The Lord of the Rings. Thorough explanations about the historical and philological background of Tolkien's work, plus explantions for textual corrections made in the jubilee edition. Highly recommended.

La guida al Signore degli Anelli
2012年2月26日にイタリアでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Interessante, senzameno un lavoro impressionante. Tuttavia forse è un pelinetto più noioso che interessante: mi aspettavo un sacco di spiegazioni a livello di storia, ma più che altro sono pedanterie sulle date e sui nomi!
