This volume is an indepth and exquisitely illustrated guide to the Second Age of Middleearth, one of the leastexplored periods of Ardas history.The Illustrated World of Tolkien The Second Age, is the follow up companion to the bestselling The Illustrated World of Tolkien, and gathers together artwork, charts, and fascinating and scholarly writing from renowned Tolkien expert David Day. Exploring the languages, poetry and elements of the heroic ages of Norse, Greek and Roman mythologies that may have influenced Tolkiens writing, it is a reference guide for any fan of Tolkiens work, Tolkiens world and the imaginative brilliance his vision inspired.The Second Age is made up of two great narrative channels on the one hand the rise and cataclysmic downfall of the islandkingdom of Nmenor and its aftermath, and on the other the forging of the Rings of Power and the rise to power of the new dark lord.Tolkiens sources for his Second Age are, of course, as rich and varied as ever and this book delves into some of these influences and shows how the power of Tolkiens imagination is manifest even in the lesserknown parts of his legendarium.This work is unofficial and is not authorised by the Tolkien Estate or HarperCollins Publishers.
