《托尔金:用一生锻造"魔戒"》主要内容：对于一名出版者而言，我们所能做的，一方面是为思想角斗士们提供战场，使人类思想生生不息：另一方面，我们有义传播那些对人类文明发展进程起到重大推动作用的思想者的思想。这其中包括一些科学家、哲学家、文学家、艺术家，以及他们在某一学科领域产生过重大影响的作品，某一作家的登峰造极之作，引发了空前强烈反响的思想等。我们希望不仅能够促进科学与人文这两种文化之间更好地沟通，进而实现某种程度的理解和不同形式的整合，更重要的是希望更多的人能够在这两种文化的不断碰撞，不断融合中受益。

Alan Lee, the Oscar-winning conceptual designer for the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, discusses his approach to depicting Tolkien's imaginary world. The book presents more than 150 of Lee's celebrated illustrations to show how his imagery for both the illustrated Lord of the Rings and the films progressed from concept to finished art. In addition, the book contains 20 full-color plates and numerous examples of the conceptual art produced for Peter Jackson's film adaptation. The Lord of the Rings Sketchbook provides a wealth of background information and will be of interest to those who know and love Tolkien's work, from books to films to DVDs, as well as to budding artists and illustrators interested in how to approach book illustration.

Alan Lee, the beloved illustrator of many of Houghton Mifflin"s Tolkien editions, and a talented team of other artists, including the renowned Tolkien illustrator John Howe, have spent more than three years creating the sets, props, creatures, and locations that truly bring Tolkien"s Middle-earth to life. Hobbiton, Rivendell, and Minas Tirith are no longer designations on the map. Literally hundreds of designers and craftspeople have been painstakingly adding authentic cultural details to each of more than 48,000 separate objects shown in The Fellowship of the Ring, from armor to props to architecture. All this and more is shown in Gary Russell"s lavishly illustrated book. Russell spent time on the set in New Zealand, conducting interviews with director Peter Jackson, special effects guru Richard Taylor, art directors Paul Lasainne, Dan Hennah, and Chris Hennah, costumer Ngila Dickson, and Alan Lee and John Howe. Featuring everything from pencil sketches to the finished objects, his book gives detailed descriptions of why and how this groundbreaking film looks as exciting as it does. The millions of fans dazzled by the results will find here everything they want to know about the genesis and evolution of the movie"s incredible look.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Chronicles: Art and Design marks the beginning of a series of comprehensive and beautifully presented books created by the artists at the heart of the film-making process. The book presents hundreds of full colour conceptual drawings and paintings, along with set designs, sculpture and glorious photography across more than 200 pages. The book showcases art by the film’s concept art directors Alan Lee and John Howe, alongside work from other artists of the film’s 3 foot 7 Art Department, Costume Department and Weta Workshop. It truly is a unique opportunity to see artwork by a wide range of artists across a multitude of disciplines in the film-making community of Wellington, New Zealand and to hear directly from them about the inspiration behind their work. Included is a Foreword by Academy Award winner Dan Hennah, 3 foot 7 Production Designer for the films. The book also features commentaries by Dan, 3 foot 7 Costume Designer Ann Maskrey, Academy Award Winners Peter King, 3 foot 7 Make-up and Hair Designer, and Weta Workshop’s Design and Special Effects Supervisor Richard Taylor. In addition to artist quotes, cast members reflect on the work and share insights into their involvement in the design process.

J.R.R. Tolkien is famous for his literary creation, exemplified in "The Hobbit", "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Silmarillion". He also produced a vast amount of further material that expands upon the mythology and numerous stories of Middle-Earth, and which gives added life to the thousand-year war between the Elves and the evil spirit Morgoth, and his terrifying lieutenant, Sauron. It was to this task of literary construction that Tolkien's youngest son and literary heir, Christopher, applied himself to, producing the series of twelve books, "The History of Middle-Earth". This hardback edition edition brings together the final three volumes of "The History of Middle-Earth": "Morgoth's Ring", "The War of the Jewels" and "The Peoples of Middle-Earth". It features dozens of rare maps and illustrations drawn by J.R.R. Tolkien.

For generations of entranced readers, and now a new generation of filmgoers, Tolkien is synonymous with his most famous creation - the hobbit. Written for all those who are interested in Tolkien's work, and of course for all those interested in hobbits, this is the first book to focus on the changes made to the hobbits' characters not only by Tolkien but also by other artists - actors, writers, directors, lyricists and choreographers. The beloved characters of Bilbo, Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin have been much-adapted for radio, television, film and stage. Lynette Porter follows the hobbits through these many other lives, from Tolkien's on-page revisions and John Boorman's unmade screenplays, through to Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy and its musical counterpart. She also reviews over 50 years of 'Hobbit Art', including the work of Alan Lee, John Howe and Ted Nasmith. Journeying through fanzines, videogames, Fanfiction and more, Porter demonstrates how the hobbits, their characters and their stories continue to introduce new audiences to Tolkien's work, in new and adapted forms.

The first complete book by J.R.R. Tolkien in three decades -- since the publication of The Silmarillion in 1977 -- The Children of Hurin 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. The Children of Hurin, begun in 1918, was one of three 'Great Tales' J.R.R. Tolkien worked on throughout his life, though he never realized his ambition to see it published. Though familiar to many fans from extracts and references within other Tolkien books, it has long been assumed that the story would forever remain an unfinished tale. Now reconstructed by Christopher Tolkien, painstakingly editing together the complete work from his father's many drafts, this book is the culmination of a tireless thirty-year endeavor by him to bring J.R.R.Tolkien's vast body of unpublished work to a wide audience. Having drawn the distinctive maps for the original The Lord of the Rings more than 50 years ago, Christopher has also created a detailed new map for this book. In addition, it will include a jacket and color paintings by Alan Lee, illustrator of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings Centenary Edition and Academy Award-winning designer of the film trilogy.

「魔戒作者的遺世之作，魔戒迷必讀。」 等了三十年，享譽全球的奇幻大師托爾金新作終於上市！一部必讀、好看、充滿寓意的中土故事！ 「這個集冒險、悲劇、友情和英雄氣概於一身的史詩故事，再次讓讀者領略托爾金絕佳的說故事技巧！」 已故作家托爾金曾於1918年著手撰寫《胡林的子女》（The Children of Hurin），未能完成，其子克里斯多福．托爾金（Christopher Tolkien）花了三十年的時間，依據父親所寫草稿，終於編整完成整部作品。 在托爾金中土世界的故事創作中，〈貝倫與露西安〉（Beren & Luthien）、〈貢多林的陷落〉（The Fall of Gondolin）與〈胡林的子女〉被視為托爾金創造的中土世界最重要的三大故事骨幹，他一生不斷修改，卻未能出版，而今英文版在費時三十年的苦心整理下，終於上市了！ 這部作品語言文字有想像豐富的瑰麗特點，編者在整理過程中，也完整保留故事骨幹，未添新素材，加上享譽國際的精美插圖，深受讀者好評，希望能將已故大師的最後作品，完整呈現。 此書編者克理斯多福.托爾金，為作者之子。托爾金原就屬意由三子克里斯多福執行他的身後出版事宜。苦心研究父親文稿有成的克里斯多福，成功集結充滿變化的改寫本、未完成篇章和故事梗概，創造出一個完全以作者原始文字構成的獨立且完整的版本。因此對托爾金的研究學者而言，本書儼然已成一個全新的完整文本；而對那些不清楚《魔戒》淵源的托爾金讀者來說，這是部全新的中土故事。 「這個集冒險、悲劇、友情和英雄氣概於一身的史詩故事，再次讓讀者領略托爾金絕佳的說故事技巧，」負責出版的哈潑柯林斯出版社總經理維多莉亞.邦斯雷：「本書擁有和《魔戒》一般充滿戲劇張力的情節，如今終於可以像托爾金原本所預期地被閱讀與欣賞。在全世界上百萬的托迷眼中，不啻為天啟。」 關於插圖：繪圖者Alan Lee，他不僅憑《魔戒三部曲：王者再臨》奪金像獎的美術指導，為本書所繪的33幅寶貴插圖，也是故事一大賣點。 《胡林的子女》引領讀者進入遠早於《魔戒》時空的中土世界。故事講述了黑暗之神消滅了精靈軍隊，並擒獲首領胡林，逼迫他臣服於自己，但偉大的胡林凜然拒絕。於是黑暗之神又對其子女圖林和妮諾爾施咒，讓他們一生難逃黑暗和絕望。而圖林長大後率眾對抗黑暗之神的邪惡勢力，爭奪中土世界的主控權。

The Fellowship of the Ring, part one of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic masterpiece, and#64257;rst reached these shores on October 21, 1954, arriving, as C. S. Lewis proclaimed, "like lightning from a clear sky." Fifty years and nearly one hundred million American readers later comes a beautiful new one-volume collector's edition beand#64257;tting the stature of this crown jewel of our list. With a text fully corrected under the supervision of Christopher Tolkien to meet the author's exacting wishes, two large-format fold-out maps, a ribbon placemarker, gilded page edges, a color insert depicting Tolkien's own paintings of the Book of Mazarbul and exceptionally elegant and sturdy overall packaging housed within an attractive slipcase, this edition is the and#64257;nest we've ever produced.

《魔幻家族》是英国学者、托尔金研究专家大卫·戴的经典之作，更是欧美魔幻经典畅销书之一，问世以来连续再版十多次，已成为全景式展现托尔金“魔戒系列”词条名典的权威“百科全书”。如果说托尔金创作的是一个自成一体的魔幻世界，那么，《魔幻家族》肯定就是进入这个世界的托尔金之门。 托尔金无疑是魔幻文学的教主。他的魔幻系列全球卖出逾亿本，创造了定型化的魔域，至今所有相关书籍描写到妖精一定有尖尖的耳朵，巫师都脱胎自甘道夫，长长的白胡须和尖尖的巫师帽。托尔金还创造出精灵语言，为魔幻文学立下典范。 东方动漫大师宫崎峻、田中芳树，西方魔幻小说《哈利·波特》作者J.K.罗琳，皆视托尔金的《魔戒》为师法宗师。 在《魔幻家族》中，我们将全景式地阅览托尔金创造的梦幻史诗般壮丽的中土时代。魔幻精灵们缔造了那个时代的自然史，所有的魔幻动物都有着完整的结构体系，而《魔幻家族》则一个个地对他们进行仔细了解和解剖研究。展示他们的居住环境，描述他们的习惯和嗜好，呈现他们的演变和历史。 像中土世界一样，这本关于魔幻的书也特别重视插图，这是《魔幻家族》最重要、最新颖的一个看点。所有图片和设计均出自11位优秀插图画家以及天才设计师黛布拉·扎克曼之手。 这些绘图富有幻想，表现力极强，与托尔金原作内容交相辉映。其中，黑白插图描绘了种族、生物和植物，而彩色插图则展现了壮阔的景观、宏大的王国和埃达时代发生的重大战役和事件。

这本书介绍了电影《魔戒》中的霍比特人、贝格恩、布雷、阿拉贡、埃尔隆德、阿尔温、奥克斯、白衣萨茹曼等主要人物的背景。

Bilbo Baggins enjoys a quiet and contented life, with no desire to travel far from the comforts of home; then one day the wizard Gandalf and a band of dwarves arrive unexpectedly and enlist his services -- as a burglar -- on a dangerous expedition to raid the treasure-hoard of Smaug the dragon. Bilbo′s life is never to be the same again. THE HOBBIT became an instant success when it was first published in 1937, and 75 years later Tolkien′s epic tale of elves, dwarves, trolls, goblins, myth, magic and adventure, with its reluctant hero Bilbo Baggins, has lost none of its appeal. Now, for the first time, the classic hardback edition is available in a one-off special pocket-sized edition. Featuring the distinctive cover illustration painted by Tolkien himself, plus his own drawings in the book, this edition will be the perfect gift for little hobbits everywhere!
