具体描述

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.

##在三大传说里,刚多林算是曲折性、完整性最差的了吧,最精彩的是刚多林被毁之时以及和魔苟斯手下战斗的场景(涌泉和金花),但篇幅最多最完整的却是图奥到达刚多林之前四处游荡的场面,读多了有雷同的感觉。另外,原本最期待的埃雅仁迪尔\埃兰迪尔的远航传说,本书没有新内容,只有个比宝钻完整些的故事梗概。或许永远无法知道在精灵最后一次惨烈内斗的时候,在埃尔汶绝望跳海的时候,在埃雅仁迪尔与安卡拉刚巨龙恶战的时候,具体是怎样的场景了(没看过HoME,欢迎指正)。

##中土世界最新也是最后一本书,是中土三大传说里我最爱的Gondolin,啥也不说了,我先哭为敬。 《刚多林的陷落》中文版终于出版,很多读者阅读后,可能会有疑惑:为什么有些译名与《魔戒》和《精灵宝钻》中的不一样了? 这是因为,这些名称的原文就是不一样的。 《刚多林的陷落》这个传说故事,它最完整详尽的文稿出自《失落的传说》。我们知道,托尔金一生都在不断修改完...

##最喜欢段:Meglin saw this he would stab Eärendel with a short knife he had; but that child bit his left hand, that his teeth sank in, and he staggered

##“哀哉刚多林。”三大传说最后一部,也是最令人遗憾的一部。完整版只余1916年的(相对)稚嫩的初版,1951年的完善成熟版却永在图奥得见刚多林美景时止步。

##硬皮装帧很好,纸厚,插图精美。内容其实在宝钻、未完成故事、中土形成、珠宝之战那几本里都看过,托老前后改动也不算很大,感觉像和老朋友一起故地重游
