Lost Road : Vol 5 History of Middle-earth And Other Writings

Tolkien, Christopher; Tolkien, J. R. R.

INKLINGS OF GREATNESS . . .

J.R.R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis were friends and fellow members of the literary circle known as The Inklings. It is hardly surprising that, at one point, these talented gentlemen embarked on a challenge: Lewis was to write on "space-travel" and Tolkien on "time-travel."
Lewis’ novel, Out of the Silent Planet, became the first book of a science fiction trilogy. Tolkien’s unfinished story, The Lost Road, chronicles the original destruction of Numenor, a pivotal event of the Second Age of Middle-earth.
In this fifth volume of The History of Middle-earth, Christopher Tolkien brings Middle-earth to its state at the writing of The Lord of the Rings. Entertaining and informative, THE LOST ROAD AND OTHER WRITINGS offers fresh insights into the evolution of one of the world’s most enduring fantasies.
