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.

作者简介

J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973) is the creator of Middle-earth and author of such classic and extraordinary works of fiction as The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion. His books have been translated into more than fifty languages and have sold many millions of copies worldwide.

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.

　　　　更值得注意的是，比尔博的旅途直接连接了《魔戒》和《霍比特人》，在一场看上去充满滑稽又生死一线的赌局中，他从咕噜手中赢得了后者的“宝贝”——看过《魔戒》的人都知道这是什么。这场赌局中比尔博表现得不乏机智，不过还是要说运气在此起到了极大作用。这是托尔金著作中古典思想的另一体现，那些在无意中转折历史的人是命运的使者，天命在不知不觉中降临在他们身上，而最终将以此战胜恶而朝向善。

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）。’
