R. R. Tolkien, as none of his fiction provides an all-encompassing narrative of the events of that 3,500-year period of Middle-earth's history. Only through the efforts of Tolkien's son Christopher has the public been able to appreciate the full grandeur of the Second Age, which is revealed in Tolkien's meticulous notes and unfinished works. The Second Age is made up of two great narrative channels: on the one hand the rise and cataclysmic downfall of the island kingdom of N伹enor and its aftermath, and on the other the forging of the Rings of Power and the rise of the new dark lord, Sauron. \u003ci\u003eIllustrated World of Tolkien: The Second Age \u003c\/i\u003eincludes more than 120 illustrations depicting the characters and events of this period--along with insightful commentary from renowned Tolkien scholar David Day--making it an essential addition to the library of every \u003ci\u003eLord of the Rings\u003c\/i\u003e fan. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis work is unofficial and is not authorized by the Tolkien Estate or HarperCollins Publishers.\u003c\/i\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.7 x 9.8 x 7.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 12, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51996266856749,"sku":"9781667203379","price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/kBGiDL_FKB9781667203379.webp?v=1776419426","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/illustrated-world-of-tolkien-the-second-age-hardcover","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
