Synopsis
The first complete book by Tolkien in three decades, this book reunites fans of "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" with Elves and Men, dragons and Dwarves, Eagles and Orcs. This stirring narrative will return fans to the rich landscape and characters unique to Tolkien., "There are tales of Middle-earth from times long before The Lord of the Rings, and the story told in this book is set in the great country that lay beyond the Grey Havens in the West: lands where Treebeard once walked, but that were drowned in the great cataclysm that ended the First Age of the World. "In that remote time Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in the vast fortress of Angband, the Hells of Iron, in the North; and the tragedy of Túrin and his sister Niënor unfolded within the shadow of the fear of Angband and the war waged by Morgoth against the lands and secret cities of the Elves. "Their brief and passionate lives were dominated by the elemental hatred that Morgoth bore them as the children of Húrin, the man who had dared to defy and to scorn him to his face. Against them he sent his most formidable servant, Glaurung, a powerful spirit in the form of a huge wingless dragon of fire. Into this story of brutal conquest and flight, of forest hiding-places and pursuit, of resistance with lessening hope, the Dark Lord and the Dragon enter in direly articulate form. Sardonic and mocking, Glaurung manipulated the fates of Túrin and Niënor by lies of diabolic cunning and guile, and the curse of Morgoth was fulfilled. "The earliest versions of this story by J.R.R. Tolkien go back to the end of the First World War and the years that followed; but long afterward, when The Lord of the Rings was finished, he wrote it anew and greatly enlarged it in complexities of motive and character: it became the dominant story in his later work on Middle-earth. But he could not bring it to a final and finished form. In this book I have endeavored to construct, after long study of the manuscripts, a coherent narrative without any editorial invention." -- Christopher Tolkien, One of the three 'Great Tales' of the Elder Days, J.R.R. Tolkien's The Children of Húrin takes place in Middle-earth thousands of years before the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. The Children of Húrin is the first complete book by Tolkien since the 1977 publication of The Silmarillion. Six thousand years before the One Ring is destroyed, Middle-earth lies under the shadow of the Dark Lord Morgoth. The greatest warriors among elves and men have perished, and all is in darkness and despair. But a deadly new leader rises, Túrin, son of Húrin, and with his grim band of outlaws begins to turn the tide in the war for Middle-earth--awaiting the day he confronts his destiny and the deadly curse laid upon him., There are tales of Middle-earth from times long before The Lord of the Rings, and the story told in this book is set in the great country that lay beyond the Grey Havens in the West: lands where Treebeard once walked, but that were drowned in the great cataclysm that ended the First Age of the World.In that remote time Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in the vast fortress of Angband, the Hells of Iron, in the North; and the tragedy of Turin and his sister Nienor unfolded within the shadow of the fear of Angband and the war waged by Morgoth against the lands and secret cities of the Elves.Their brief and passionate lives were dominated by the elemental hatred that Morgoth bore them as the children of Hurin, the man who had dared to defy and to scorn him to his face.

    Expands upon The Silmarillion

    The Children of Hurin is the first complete book by J.R.R. Tolkien published in three decades - since The Silmarillion in 1977. This story is presented for the first time as a complete, stand-alone story (it elaborates upon the story of the man Hurin from The Silmarillion). This elaborate narrative will appeal to casual fans and Tolkien fanatics alike, returning them to the rich landscape and characters unique to Tolkien's Middle Earth. The story of The Children of Hurin is organized very much like a Greek Tragedy (Oedipus Rex by Sophocles and Medea by Euripedes come to mind). The hero, Hurin, defies Morgoth (the master of Sauron) and invokes his wrath. Hurin is captured by Morgoth and in his anger, the Dark Lord curses Hurin's descendants. The story then turns to Turin and Nienor ...

    another good book

    Taking place in the distant past of the Middle Earth most people know from the "Lord of the Rings," the "Children of Hurin" is a poignantly beautiful gem from JRR Tolkien's literary world. Before great cataclysms that altered the very substance of Middle Earth, the High Elves were allied with three great Houses of Men in a proud and hopeless struggle against the original Dark Enemy. "The Children of Hurin" begins with the most disastrous defeat of Elves and Men in that war, and how Turin, son of the greatest warrior in the history of Men, tries to take up his father's responsibility and reverse the damage. One of JRR Tolkien's greatest achievements was the world of Middle Earth itself, which contained endless layers of history and backstory ...

    The Children of Hurin Rox

    I loved this book, although it almost made me cry. I think that it was much easier to understand than the story line of Silmarillion not to dis that or anything, but it reminded me of the way that "LOTR" was written. It was a great way to present the story of "The Tale of Tinuviel", not to complicated yet not to bland. Turin himself I thik kind of represents all of us in the sense tha He keeps trying to do the right thing but everything that He does goes wrong, also in his way of thinking through things is very human. In the end although tragic it is a good story, a good story that all Tolkien lovers and simply fantasy lovers will like. Just as a side note I read a review saying that they didn't like it because Christopher Tolkien wrote it, and that it was hard to understand however ...

    Tolkien and Literacy

    Professor Tolkien (with whom I corresponded many years ago) was a philologist whose study of Beowulf, Sir Gawain, and the Scandinavian sagas, among others, is clearly reflected in this work. It is not to be compared with the facile entertainments that amuse the "Harry Potter" crowd (nothing against the series or its admirers), but will be most deeply appreciated by those who not only want to read fantasy with more meat on its bones, but those who prefer genuine literature, of the kind that will be remembered centuries from now. Christopher Tolkien, son of the master, has done an admirable job patching together various incomplete manuscripts giving this story from different periods in Tolkien's life, and not always cohering as to plot and characterization. If there is anything lacking, it ...

    Don't Expect a Happy Ending!

    The Children of Húrin is about a curse. Christopher Tolkien tells us in the Introduction (p.18) that JRR Tolkien's proposed alternative title was Narn e-'Rach Morgoth, The Tale of the Curse of Morgoth. The curse "works," not because of some quality within Middle-Earth. but because of who Morgoth is. "Morgoth is not 'invoking' evil or calamity on Húrin and his children, he is not 'calling on' a higher power to be the agent: for he,'Master of the fates of Arda' as he named himself to Húrin, intends to bring about the ruin of his enemy by force of his own gigantic will." (Ibid.) The lives of the Children of Húrin end tragically, which may cause some Tolkien fans to ask "Where is the eucatastrophe? Where is the Recovery and ...
