內容簡介
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.

精彩書評
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.

因為我一個影迷,是彼得傑剋遜《指環王》的擁躉。所以當《霍比特人》被搬上大熒幕的時候我還一樣的去追隨,雖然我就隻是一個沒看過原著的影迷。2014年1月25號我拉著好友去瞭影院看完霍比特人3。我們倆坐在最後一排,觀影過程中,有吐槽,玩手機,聊過天,還打瞭不少接天連地的哈欠,幾乎完全是為瞭看完電影而看完。可是,當影片進行到最後,老比爾博坐在袋底洞迴憶往昔,甘道夫敲門造訪的時候,我纔發現,情懷這東西,真......

就像奧德修斯在返鄉中往往有諸神或是神的後裔陪伴那樣,最初引比爾博踏上旅途的人中就有身為創世神靈助手“邁雅”的甘道夫,熟悉《魔戒》故事的人一定還記得他有多重要,並且甘道夫還曾是老圖剋——比爾博的外祖父的故交,老圖剋的長壽與英勇的冒險行為早就是霍比特人的傳奇。
