Beren and Luthien (PB) - B-format

"Beren and Luthien" is J. R. R. Tolkien’s epic tale of Beren and Luthien restored by his son from Tolkien’s old manuscripts.

"Beren and Luthien" is the fatal love story of the mortal man Beren and the immortal Elf Luthien. To grant Luthien’s love her father, the great Elvish lord, sets Beren on an impossible task he must succeed before marrying Luthien. Together Beren and Lucien makes a heroic attempt to rob the evilest of all things and the first Dark Lord, Morgtoth.

Christopher Tolkien has extracted the tale of Beren and Luthien from J. R. R. Tolkien’s massive work in which it was embedded and can for the first time present it in this book.

"Beren and Luthien" is an essential element of The Silmarillion and the myths and legends of the First Age of the World.
