具體描述

J.R.R. Tolkien was born on 3rd January 1892. After serving in the First World War, he became best known for The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, selling 150 million copies in more than 40 languages worldwide. Awarded the CBE and an honorary Doctorate of Letters from Oxford University, he died in 1973 at the age of 81.

In the Tale of The Fall of Gondolin are two of the greatest powers in the world. There is Morgoth of the uttermost evil, unseen in this story but ruling over a vast military power from his fortress of Angband. Deeply opposed to Morgoth is Ulmo, second in might only to Manwë, chief of the Valar.

Central to this enmity of the gods is the city of Gondolin, beautiful but undiscoverable. It was built and peopled by Noldorin Elves who, when they dwelt in Valinor, the land of the gods, rebelled against their rule and fled to Middle-earth. Turgon King of Gondolin is hated and feared above all his enemies by Morgoth, who seeks in vain to discover the marvellously hidden city, while the gods in Valinor in heated debate largely refuse to intervene in support of Ulmo's desires and designs.

Into this world comes Tuor, cousin of Túrin, the instrument of Ulmo's designs. Guided unseen by him Tuor sets out from the land of his birth on the fearful journey to Gondolin, and in one of the most arresting moments in the history of Middle-earth the sea-god himself appears to him, rising out of the ocean in the midst of a storm. In Gondolin he becomes great; he is wedded to Idril, Turgon's daughter, and their son is Eärendel, whose birth and profound importance in days to come is foreseen by Ulmo.

At last comes the terrible ending. Morgoth learns through an act of supreme treachery all that he needs to mount a devastating attack on the city, with Balrogs and dragons and numberless Orcs. After a minutely observed account of the fall of Gondolin, the tale ends with the escape of Túrin and Idril, with the child Eärendel, looking back from a cleft in the mountains as they flee southward, at the blazing wreckage of their city. They were journeying into a new story, the Tale of Eärendel, which Tolkien never wrote, but which is sketched out in this book from other sources.

Following his presentation of Beren and Lúthien Christopher Tolkien has used the same 'history in sequence' mode in the writing of this edition of The Fall of Gondolin. In the words of J.R.R. Tolkien, it was ‘the first real story of this imaginary world’ and, together with Beren and Lúthien and The Children of Húrin, he regarded it as one of the three 'Great Tales' of the Elder Days.

##在三大傳說裏,剛多林算是麯摺性、完整性最差的瞭吧,最精彩的是剛多林被毀之時以及和魔苟斯手下戰鬥的場景(湧泉和金花),但篇幅最多最完整的卻是圖奧到達剛多林之前四處遊蕩的場麵,讀多瞭有雷同的感覺。另外,原本最期待的埃雅仁迪爾\埃蘭迪爾的遠航傳說,本書沒有新內容,隻有個比寶鑽完整些的故事梗概。或許永遠無法知道在精靈最後一次慘烈內鬥的時候,在埃爾汶絕望跳海的時候,在埃雅仁迪爾與安卡拉剛巨龍惡戰的時候,具體是怎樣的場景瞭(沒看過HoME,歡迎指正)。

##中土世界最新也是最後一本書,是中土三大傳說裏我最愛的Gondolin,啥也不說瞭,我先哭為敬。 《剛多林的陷落》中文版終於齣版,很多讀者閱讀後,可能會有疑惑:為什麼有些譯名與《魔戒》和《精靈寶鑽》中的不一樣瞭? 這是因為,這些名稱的原文就是不一樣的。 《剛多林的陷落》這個傳說故事,它最完整詳盡的文稿齣自《失落的傳說》。我們知道,托爾金一生都在不斷修改完...

##full text也不過110頁,這個故事沒寫完真的太可惜瞭,還好有小托爺爺兢兢業業給父親填坑。但還是好想看托老擴充成完整的故事,Tuor和Idril的日常,Turgon和Maeglin,還有最後的Earendil的遠航。永遠航行的船隻,天邊的大希望之星,Earendil那充滿希望又無比悲劇的一生。第一紀元那麼多人那麼多精,竟然找不齣幾個善終善瞭的,托老發的一手好刀。又想起PJ的the hobbit裏Thorin找到的刀貌似是Ecthelion的佩刀,刀依然在,而持刀的人早已魂歸曼都斯,悲哉貢多林?
