內容簡介
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of first publication, a new de luxe edition of The Silmarillion, featuring the revised, reset text, a colour frontispiece illustration, bound in special materials and presented in a matching slipcase. 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.For the first time, we are publishing a deluxe edition of this pivotal work, featuring the revised, corrected text and including, 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. Quarter-bound, and set in a matching slipcase, this attractive edition will prove a fine addition to any Tolkien collection.
作者簡介
J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973) is the creator of Middle-earth and author of such classic and extraordinary works of fiction as The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion. His books have been translated into more than fifty languages and have sold many millions of copies worldwide.
約翰·羅納德·瑞爾·托爾金(J.R.R. Tolkien)(1892-1973),英國文豪,天纔的語言學傢,牛津大學默頓學院英國語言與文學教授,1919—1920年牛津英語詞典(OED)的編委。他以瑰麗的想像和精深的語言,建立瞭一個英語世界的全新神話體係。托爾金的雄心壯誌不在於寫作一個傳奇故事,或一部史詩。在他所創作的一係列中洲史詩中,影響最為深遠的是《霍比特人》(The Hobbit: There and Back Again) 和《魔戒》(The Lord of the Rings)。這兩部巨作被譽為當代奇幻作品的鼻祖,至今已暢銷2.5億餘冊,被翻譯成60餘種語言。美國每年銷售的大約一億本平裝書中,就有四分之一可以追溯到托爾金的作品。《魔戒》被票選為“兩韆年以來最重要的書”。由托爾金小說改編的電影《指環王》、《霍比特人》掀起21世紀奇幻文藝的全麵復興,世界拜倒在他腳下。

方平先生主編、主譯的這個版本是頭一個用詩體翻譯的莎士比亞全集譯本。莎士比亞戲劇的原貌是詩劇,是以素詩體(blank verse)為基本形式的詩劇,以詩體譯詩體,盡量使譯文在語氣、語言節奏感上更接近莎劇原貌,是這個版本的最終訴求。還有並非無關緊要的是,這個譯本是全新、最晚齣的,方平先生又終生研究莎士比亞,生前是中國莎士比亞協會會長,國際莎士比亞協會執行理事。這個譯本因此溶入瞭全新的莎學研究成果,每部劇作和詩歌作品之前均有“前言”——分析作品的藝術特色、人物形象和思想主題等,對這部作品做齣恰如其分的綜閤評價;之後又附有簡明扼要的“考證”——對此部作品

愛隆為什麼如此反對亞玟與亞拉岡的愛情?你知道亞拉岡其實有精靈的血統嗎?亞玟為什麼選擇嫁給凡人後就不能反悔,不能在丈夫死後返迴不死之地?不死之地是什麼樣子?勒苟拉斯跟金靂的友誼之所以非比尋常,是因為兩族本來是世仇,為什麼會這樣呢?你想知道矮人的起源嗎?樹人是怎麼來的?還有,最重要的,怎麼會有精靈這種這麼迷人的物種啊?他們又為什麼必須自中土世界消失呢?索倫是如何崛起的?魔苟斯又是誰啊?炎魔和半獸人是哪裏來的?甘道夫跟薩魯曼本來都是被派來幫助中土世界的天使,你沒想到吧?那薩魯曼怎麼會變成壞蛋呢?我還可以從《魔戒》中再列齣一卡車的問題,而它們的答案都在《精靈寶鑽》裏。

The Silmarillion 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition Leather Bound. Once again I am led to marvel at the beauty of myth. Tolkien has the advantage of not being saddled with the heavy burden of literality. Without the need to carbon date the age of the Music in the fossil record of Middle Earth we can simply ponder the truths of the story.
