À propos de cet audio
Presented for the first time on audio, the epic tale of Beren and Lúthien will reunite fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves, Men and Orcs and the rich landscape unique to Tolkien’s Middle-earth in this unabridged recording read by critically acclaimed father and son, Timothy and Samuel West.
Beren was a mortal man, but Lúthien was an immortal Elf. Her father, a great Elvish lord, was deeply opposed to Beren, and imposed on him an impossible task that he must perform before he might wed Lúthien.
Undaunted by Lord Thingol’s challenge, Beren and Lúthien embark on the supremely heroic attempt to rob Morgoth, the greatest of all evil beings, of a Silmaril, one of the hallowed jewels that adorn the Black Enemy’s crown.
The tale of Beren and Lúthien, which was written shortly after J.R.R. Tolkien returned from the Battle of the Somme in 1916, was an essential element in the evolution of The Silmarillion. In this book Christopher Tolkien has extracted the various versions of Beren and Lúthien from the comprehensive work in which they are embedded.
To show something of the process whereby this Great Tale of Middle-earth evolved over the years, he tells 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.

Gondolin, beautiful but undiscoverable, is central to the enmity of two of the greatest powers in the world. Morgoth of the uttermost evil seeks in vain to discover the marvellously hidden city of his Elven enemies, while the gods in Valinor refuse to support Ulmo Lord of Waters' designs to protect it. Into this world comes Tuor, cousin of Túrin, and guided unseen by Ulmo he sets out on the fearful journey to Gondolin to warn them of their coming doom.

There are tales of Middle-earth from times long before The Lord of the Rings. 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.

J.R.R. Tolkien famously described the Second Age of Middle-earth as a ‘dark age, and not very much of its history is (or need be) told’. And for many years readers would need to be content with the tantalizing glimpses of it found within the pages of The Lord of the Rings and its appendices, including the forging of the Rings of Power, the building of the Barad-dûr and the rise of Sauron.

Combined into one volume, this is the definitive collection of Tolkien's five acclaimed modern classic 'fairie' tales in the vein of The Hobbit, read by Derek Jacobi. The five tales are written with the same skill, quality and charm that made The Hobbit a classic. Largely overlooked because of their short lengths, they are joined here in one volume which reaffirms Tolkien's place as a master storyteller for listeners young and old.

The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth Beorhthelm’s Son was originally published in the 1953 edition of Essays and Studies. In December of that year, J.R.R. Tolkien took possession of a reel-to-reel tape recorder and, some time during the first few months of 1954, decided to record ‘the whole thing on tape’ as a way of ‘testing’ the performative quality of the dramatic dialogue between Tídwald and Torhthelm.

From Oxford to ComiCon, the Middle Earth is analyzed and interpreted through a multitude of perspectives. But one essential facet of Tolkien and his Middle Earth has been overlooked: science.

Farmer Giles of Ham did not look like a hero. He was fat and red-bearded and enjoyed a slow, comfortable life. Then one day a rather deaf and short-sighted giant blundered on to his land. More by luck than skill, Farmer Giles managed to scare him away. The people of the village cheered: Farmer Giles was a hero. His reputation spread far and wide across the kingdom. So it was natural that when the dragon Chrysophylax visited the area it was Farmer Giles who was expected to do battle with it!

The beautiful prose and the images they invoked
I loved the progression of the tale through the different versions. The narration and text painted such a vivid picture that I almost felt like I was watching a movie.

Please do the History of Middle-Earth Series!!
Timothy and Samual are now the voices of Tolkien and Christopher Tolkien for me. This and the Fall of Gondolin are so well done. It makes the experience so great having them both. If the History was to be done in this way.. it would be amazing.

Essentially A Desk Reference
If you're looking for a detailed expansion of the Beren/Tinúviel legend, you're out of luck. While there are a few more descriptive elements to the story (how Beren came upon Luthien's dancing in Doreath and his captivity with Morgoth's minions, for example), you're better off sticking with the relation of the tale in 'The Silmarillion'.
To be certain, the first hour of the book is an extremely entertaining retelling - and colored with a version of events that I hadn't heard before - but the remainder of the book is a compilation of every mention of the legend that Christopher Tolkien could mine from his father's notes (poems, scraps of verse, snippets of songs, etc).
In the audiobook's favor: the narration from father/son tandem Timothy and Samuel West is genuinely outstanding. Both read with spot-on diction and pacing, comfortable timbre & cadence, and a pitch-perfect tone that makes listeners believe that they are hearing the authors' voices.
Despite the brilliant production values, however, the book is best suited as something to sit in the libraries of diehard Tolkien überfans. A text copy (paper or eBook) of this 7/10-star book would be more valuable to you if given the choice.

Good Text, Strange Format.
This story is really wonderful and tragically romantic. The narration is lovely. That being said, the format of the text is rather confusing as it is a collection of various versions of the same story. If you want to simply read the story, you can stop after about the first third. However, this collection does provide a fascinating insight into Tolkien's thought process and world building.

Lacks much of the original version
This was one of my favourite tales of the Silmarillion. I had gotten it hoping that it would expand on a beautiful story, that was key to the first age. I feel the story was ruined by this confusing, unfocused version.
