This volume is an in-depth and exquisitely illustrated guide to the
Second Age of Middle-earth, one of the least-explored periods of
Arda's history. The Illustrated World of Tolkien: The Second Age,
is the follow up companion to the best-selling The Illustrated
World of Tolkien, and gathers together artwork, charts, and
fascinating and scholarly writing from renowned Tolkien expert
David Day. Exploring the languages, poetry and elements of the
heroic ages of Norse, Greek and Roman mythologies that may have
influenced Tolkien's writing, it is a reference guide for any fan
of Tolkien's work, Tolkien's world and the imaginative brilliance
his vision inspired. The Second Age is made up of two great
narrative channels: on the one hand the rise and cataclysmic
downfall of the island-kingdom of Númenor and its aftermath, and
on the other the forging of the Rings of Power and the rise to
power of the new dark lord. Tolkien's sources for his Second Age
are, of course, as rich and varied as ever and this book delves
into some of these influences and shows how the power of Tolkien's
imagination is manifest even in the lesser-known parts of his
legendarium. This work is unofficial and is not authorised by the
Tolkien Estate or HarperCollins Publishers.
