Presented for the first time on audio, the epic tale of Beren and
Lúthien will reunite fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings
with Elves, Men and Orcs and the rich landscape unique to
Tolkien’s Middle-earth in this unabridged recording read by
critically acclaimed father and son, Timothy and Samuel West. Beren
was a mortal man, but Lúthien was an immortal Elf. Her father, a
great Elvish lord, was deeply opposed to Beren, and imposed on him
an impossible task that he must perform before he might wed
Lúthien. Undaunted by Lord Thingol’s challenge, Beren and
Lúthien embark on the supremely heroic attempt to rob Morgoth, the
greatest of all evil beings, of a Silmaril, one of the hallowed
jewels that adorn the Black Enemy’s crown. The tale of Beren and
Lúthien, which was written shortly after J.R.R. Tolkien returned
from the Battle of the Somme in 1916, was an essential element in
the evolution of The Silmarillion. In this book Christopher Tolkien
has extracted the various versions of Beren and Lúthien from the
comprehensive work in which they are embedded. To show something of
the process whereby this Great Tale of Middle-earth evolved over
the years, he tells the story in his father's own words by giving,
first, its original form, and then passages in prose and verse from
later texts that illustrate the narrative as it changed. Presented
together for the first time, they reveal aspects of the story, both
in event and in narrative immediacy, that were afterwards lost.
