‎Tolkien began The Lord of the Rings between 16 and 19 December 1937, three months after The Hobbit was published and George Allen & Unwin were encouraging Tolkien, against his inclination, to write a sequel. As C. S. Lewis commented: "If Ariosto rivalled it in invention (in fact he does not) he would still lack its heroic seriousness. No imaginary world has been projected which is at once so multifarious and so true to its own inner laws; none so seemingly objective, so disinfected from the taint of the author's merely individual psychology, no so relevant to the actual human situation yet so free from allegory. And what fine shading there is in the variations of style to meet the almost endless diversity of scenes and characters - comic, homely, epic, monstrous, or diabolic." J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" is a timeless epic that weaves a tapestry of adventure, heroism, and profound themes. Its enduring popularity can be attributed to Tolkien's masterful storytelling, his richly imagined world of Middle-earth, and the timeless lessons it imparts to readers. Whether you are a fan of fantasy literature or simply appreciate a captivating tale, "The Lord of the Rings" is an absolute must-read.? "The Lord of the Rings" has had an enormous impact on popular culture. Its success led to the development of film adaptations directed by Peter Jackson, which garnered critical acclaim and introduced Middle-earth to a wider audience. The books have been translated into numerous languages, inspiring subsequent generations of fantasy authors and serving as a touchstone for the genre. Tolkien's vivid storytelling and meticulous world-building continue to captivate readers to this day. Inutile de présenter en français le Seigneur des Anneaux, livre au gigantesque retentissement universel et dont l'adaptation cinématographique n'a fait qu'amplifier une renommée déjà acquise. Les trois volets de ce roman-monde fantasy : La communauré de l'anneau. Les deux tours et Le retour du roi, ont été traduits pour la première fois en français par Francis Ledoux pour l'éditeur Christian Bourgois en 1972. Les exemplaires de la première édition anglaise (même en impressions tardives comme ici) luxueusement reliés en maroquin décoré du fer spécial de "l'oeil de Sauron" sont très recherchés et deviendront de plus en plus rares sur le marché. Parfait exemplaire. Un véritable "precieux". A really wonderful precious one !‎

‎Unique signed copy by Michael George Reuel Tolkien (grandson of J.R.R. Tolkien). Each volume signed : "To Linda : With love & good wishes : Michael G.R. Tolkien. 18 IX 93" Joined : inscribed post it : "To the Burke Family with good wishes from Michael & Jan Tolkien (with Tom & Ruth). 18 IX 93" Joined a handwritten postcard from Jan Tolkien (11 lines). Private content. Exemplaire signé par le petit-fils de J.R.R Tolkien, Michael George Reuel Tolkien (né en 1943). Né en 1943 à Birmingham, Michael George est le premier enfant de Michael Tolkien, le second fils de J.R.R. Tolkien. Il a passé son enfance dans une communauté rurale dans les collines de Chiltern, dans le sud du comté de l'Oxfordshire jusqu'en 1956 puis déménage de nombreuses fois en raison des changements d'emploi de son père. Durant sa jeunesse, il entretient une correspondance avec son grand-père. Il a étudié la littérature et la langue anglaise à l'Université de St Andrews puis la littérature de la Restauration et du XVIIIème siècle anglais au Merton College d'Oxford avant d'embrasser une carrière d'enseignant. Michael est un poète et auteur de plusieurs livres. Le plus connu est sans doute l'ouvrage Wish, sur lequel il a collaboré avec Gerald Dickens, petit-fils de l'auteur Charles Dickens, qui a enregistré une lecture audio du poème de Michael. En 1994, Michael prend sa retraite pour raisons de santé. Il a été marié trois fois et a deux filles, Catherine et Ruth. Michael est un membre du conseil du Tolkien Estate. Il continue de participer régulièrement à des évènements en l'honneur de son grand-père, comme en 2012, au festival The Return of the Ring organisé par l'Université de Loughborough. A boxed set from 1991, released to coincide with the Tolkien Centenary in 1992. Three volume paperback set in a red slipcase, with cover illustrations by the mighty John Howe. Unique signed copy by Michael George Reuel Tolkien (grandson of J.R.R. Tolkien).‎

‎Three Centuries of American Prints. From the National Gallery of Art.‎

‎, Thames & Hudson , 2016 Hardback, 29x24.5mm, 360p, 206 colour illustrations, English edition . ISBN 9780500239520.‎

‎Nearly 200 American prints, representing more than 100 artists, and dating from the colonial era to the present day, are brought together in this unprecedented volume from the National Gallery of Art to commemorate its collection and recent acquisitions. The artists featured range from Paul Revere through James McNeil Whistler, Mary Cassatt, Winslow Homer, Louise Nevelson, Romare Bearden, Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, Chuck Close, and Kara Walker. The works date from essentially every period in American history, so major art and historical themes running through the collection are readily visible. Lending context, twelve contributing authors discuss the varied themes in American art. Biographies of the artists and a glossary of printmaking terms are also featured. Since its founding in 1941, the National Gallery of Art has assiduously collected American prints with the help of many generous donors. The Gallery?s American print collection has grown from nearly 1,900 prints in 1950 to more than 22,500 prints today. The collection was recently transformed by the acquisition of an extraordinary group of 5,200 American prints brought together by Reba and Dave Williams. ‎

‎Early Prints, The Print Collection of the Royal Library of Belgium, ‎

‎, Brepols, 2002 Hardback.184 pages., 550 b/w ill. 16 colour ill., ills., 225 x 305 mm, Languages: English, NEW condition ! ISBN 9781872501291.‎

‎The Print Room of the Royal Library of Belgium currently possesses roughly 700,000 independent prints, including a few hundred early' woodcuts and engravings from the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, which make up one of the most important parts of the collection. In the course of time, only a small portion of these has been recorded in a systematic catalogue. One-and-a-half centuries ago, in 1857, the head curator Louis Alvin catalogued the Library's noteworthy collection of Italian niello prints. Thirty-five years later, in 1892, Max Lehrs, then head of the Dresden Print Room, published the first and only inventory of the collection of fifteenth-century northern engravings in the Royal Library's Print Room. As for the two other parts of the collection included in this book, namely the early woodcuts and the early Italian prints, this is the very first time that each has been examined as a group. Consequently, the exceptionally rich collection of 'early' prints in the Royal Library of Belgium has remained essentially unknown to many thus far. This catalogue is a first step in making the collection better known.‎
