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.

　　一个霍比特人的一次探险经历，却穷尽了一个人一生所要遭遇和经历的各种情绪和磨难，有快乐有悲伤、有恐惧有窃喜、有希望有绝望、有占有有分享。那个置身探险中的霍比特人，已经不再是影子。他抛弃了家园，却拥有了一个完全不同的自我。随着阅读的深入，你会发现你情愿那个人就是你自己：拥有一枚神奇的隐形戒指；骑在大鹰的背上翱翔；用谜语和脑筋急转弯打败不知名的怪物；挥舞着短剑刺杀毒蜘蛛；把阿肯宝钻装进自己的口袋里……

在看英文版的魔戒，但是对于中土世界里的各个地方没有认识，所以趁着活动购入了这本书，打算对照着来看魔戒。

　　　　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。

　　据说小说已经改编成同名电影了。说实话，我有点担心。因为相比魔幻、悬疑的概念，我更愿意把这本书定义于童话。童话的基调是快乐的，而且童话的寓意是希望。这本《霍比特人》原本是托尔金写给孩子的炉边故事，所以它应该是童话。而现代电影偏偏是利用了高科技的手法来追求魔幻和悬疑的视觉感受。这不是不好，只是感觉它不应该属于《霍比特人》。J.K.罗琳坦言自己的《哈利.波特》写到最后依然不能超越托尔金，我想最重要的一个原因就是《哈利.波特》是魔幻小说而不是童话。
