Narn I Chîn Húrin. The Tale of the Children of Hurin. Illustrated edition

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien

The book that has been published recently by the author’s son — Christopher Tolkien — is describing the tragic fate of Turin and Nienor. Th e dreadful perdition of Morgoth is on them — the terrible revenge to their father for his non-desire to obey the Dark Lord. The sad outcome is inevitable even though the elves are sympathising, the courage is present, and the dragon Glaurung is defeated. Nevertheless, even hopeless struggle has a sense as a promise of victories in the future fi ghts with the evil that J. R. R. Tolkien described in other works — The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings.
