内容简介
Karen Wynn Fonstad's THE ATLAS OF MIDDLE-EARTH is an essential volume that will enchant all Tolkien fans. Here is the definitive guide to the geography of Middle-earth, from its founding in the Elder Days through the Third Age, including the journeys of Bilbo, Frodo, and the Fellowship of the Ring. Authentic and updated—nearly one third of the maps are new, and the text is fully revised—the atlas illuminates the enchanted world created in THE SILMARILLION, THE HOBBIT, and THE LORD OF THE RINGS. Hundreds of two-color maps and diagrams survey the journeys of the principal characters day by day—including all the battles and key locations of the First, Second, and Third Ages. Plans and descriptions of castles, buildings, and distinctive landforms are given, along with thematic maps describing the climate, vegetation, languages, and population distribution of Middle-earth throughout its history. An extensive appendix and an index help readers correlate the maps with Tolkien's novels. This atlas is the most complete and authoritative guide to Tolkien's world containing seperate two color maps and exlplanatory text relating to Tolkien's works.

精彩书评
The publishing world is full of Tolkien spinoff products, some trivial and ephemeral--but some, like this thoroughly researched atlas, are genuinely classy. Karen Wynn Fonstad is a qualified geographer and cartographer who first mapped Middle-Earth in 1981 and has since added much new detail based on those endless volumes of drafts, abandoned passages, alternative versions, and laundry lists published since Tolkien's death. She fills in gaps and details in the familiar Third Age maps from The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, goes back in time to map Middle-Earth's First and Second Ages, and reconstructs the route and timescale of every important journey in the stories. There are local maps of key places like the Mines of Moria, Lothlorien, Isengard, Minas Tirth, the Tower of Cirith Ungol, and the volcanic Mount Doom. War maps cover the saga's notable battles, up to the hopeless last stand at Mordor gate and the tiny later skirmish known in Shire records as the Battle of Bywater. Thematic maps show Middle-Earth's distribution of climate, geological features, vegetation, people, and (most importantly to Tolkien) languages.... It's all done tremendously seriously and would make a fine gift for enthusiastic Tolkien fans, except that they'll have bought it already. --David Langford, Amazon.co.uk --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

因为我一个影迷,是彼得杰克逊《指环王》的拥趸。所以当《霍比特人》被搬上大荧幕的时候我还一样的去追随,虽然我就只是一个没看过原著的影迷。2014年1月25号我拉着好友去了影院看完霍比特人3。我们俩坐在最后一排,观影过程中,有吐槽,玩手机,聊过天,还打了不少接天连地的哈欠,几乎完全是为了看完电影而看完。可是,当影片进行到最后,老比尔博坐在袋底洞回忆往昔,甘道夫敲门造访的时候,我才发现,情怀这东西,真......

地图都很清晰,要是精装版就更好了!总体来说说是一本不错的书!!近代以来西人贵族中曾经盛行过“壮游”的传统,这种著名的旅行被作为青年教育必不可少的部分而著名。但更根深蒂固的是西方文化传统中的漫游叙事,这一主题下可以找到许多文学名著,当然最著名也是最本原性的那一部毫无疑问是《奥德赛》。作为牛津大学教授的托尔金熟习西方古典,在他的著作中能够察觉到诸多古典哲学与传统神话的影子,就像伊露维塔创世与米尔寇堕落的故事中可以看出《蒂迈欧篇》与《圣经》的痕迹那样,比尔博与奥德修斯之间看上去虽然天差地远,但依然有颇多相似之处。也正因如此,比尔博才从根本上不同于现代习见的那种通过自身努力从小人物成长起来,能够战胜强敌甚至拯救世界的俗套英雄。

毫无疑问这是一本好书,京东送货也很快,我很满意!开卷有益,读书好处多,陶冶情操,修身养性,还会再来的哦。一本书有一个故事,一个故事叙述一段人生,一段人生折射一个世界。“读万卷书,行万里路”说的正是这个道理。读诗使人高雅,读史使人明智。读每一本书都会有不同的收获。“悬梁刺股”、“萤窗映雪”,自古以来,勤奋读书,提升自我是每一个人的毕生追求。读书是一种最优雅的素质,能塑造人的精神,升华人的思想。

阿尔达的语言 托尔金的学术生涯和他的文学创作两者和他所钟爱的语言和哲学是不可分割的。他在大学时代专攻古希腊哲学,并自1918年开始投入牛津英语辞典的编写工作,其中被认为曾研究W为首字的一些词汇,包括walrus“海象”此字的字源—一个他曾头痛许久的词汇。1920年,托尔金赴利兹担任英语高级讲师,并声称是因为他而使得语言学学生的数量由5位增加至20位。他曾教授古英语英雄诗体、英语历史、许多古英语及中古英语文本、古英语及中古英语哲学、日耳曼哲学介绍、哥德语、古冰岛语及中古威尔士语。1925年托尔金33岁那年,他成功申请到盎格鲁撒克逊的Rawlinson及Bosworth教授职缺,并以其在利兹的日耳曼哲学的学生曾组成一个“维京俱乐部”(VikingClub)为傲—在俱乐部里,大学生可以自由地阅读古斯堪的纳维亚的冒险故事及喝啤酒。私底下,托尔金被任何有关种族及语言学意含的事物吸引,并且思考著一种与生俱来的语言品味,一种他在1955年“英语与威尔士语”这场演讲中所提到的“母语”(native language),相对于自幼时所学的语言(cradle language)。他认为西密德兰的中古英语是他所拥有的“母语”,就如同他在1955年给大诗人奥登的书信中所提到:‘在血缘上,我是一位西密德兰人(并且早先在我第一眼看到西密德兰的中古英语时,我就已经视他为已知的语言)。’
