Info
Il volume è una bibliografia illustrata dei libri
di Tolkien e di altri oggetti da collezione ispirati dalle sue opere. La
raccolta, interamente a colori, offre una panoramica sulle edizioni tolkieniane
inglesi e americane, e il cinema, tra cui un'anteprima generale dei prodotti
ispirati a Il Signore degli Anelli: La Compagnia dell'Anello, che proprio nel
2001 iniziava la sua lunga strada verso il successo.
Il libro contiene anche i prodotti concessi in
licenza a partire dal 1970, compresi i libri, calendari, giochi e oggetti da
collezione provenienti da diverse aziende (Kinder Sorpresa, Mithril Miniatures,
Sideshow Collectibles-WETA, etc.).
La raccolta è alquanto incompleta e presenta anche errori nelle descrizioni.
Note
For
more than 60 years the published works of J.R.R. Tolkien have delighted readers
of all ages. It was in 1937 that The Hobbit first captured our hearts and
stirred our imaginations. In 1955 followed the grand epic Lord of the Rings
trilogy, which has been called the most influential fantasy story of all time.
The Lord of the Rings has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide and has
been translated into more than 40 languages, an accomplishment that no other
work of fiction comes close to matching.
In
addition to the books, there has been a staggering array of products produced
related to and influenced by the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien and his richly
imagined world of Middle-Earth. Treasures from the Misty Mountains details for
you the endless collection of Tolkien-related products in addition to an
accounting of all of Tolkien's writings.
Included
herein are sections devoted to Books, both by and about Tolkien; Calendars;
Toys; Collectible statues; Audio recordings; and so much more. Also presented
are details of the movies - both the earlier animated Hobbit and Lord of the
Rings and the upcoming Lord of the Rings trilogy from New Line Cinema.
"This
is a book of all things Tolkien, a feast for devoted fans and novices alike,
with more than 500 colour pictures. Treasures from the Misty Mountains" -
A Collector's Guide to Tolkien.
