The Tale of The Children of Hurin - J. R. R. Tolkien
The first complete book by J.R.R. Tolkien in three decades--since the publication of The Silmarillion in 1977--The Children of Húrin reunites fans of The Hobbit...... Plus
The first complete book by J.R.R. Tolkien in three decades--since the publication of The Silmarillion in 1977--The Children of Húrin reunites fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves and Men, dragons and Dwarves, Eagles and Orcs. Presented for the first time as a complete, standalone story, this stirring narrative will appeal to casual fans and expert readers alike, returning them to the rich landscape and characters unique to Tolkien. Adam Tolkien on The Children of HúrinHow did a lifetime of stories become The Children of Húrin? In an essay on the making of the book, Adam Tolkien, grandson of J.R.R. Tolkien (and French translator of his History of Middle-earth), explains that the Húrin legends made up the third "Great Tale" of his grandfather's Middle-earth writing, and he describes how his father, Christopher Tolkien, painstakingly collected the pieces of the legend into a complete story told only in the words of J.R.R. Tolkien. "For anyone who has read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings," he writes, The Children of Húrin "allows them to take a step back into a larger world, an ancient land of heroes and vagabonds, honour and jeopardy, hope and tragedy." A Look Inside the Book This first edition of The Children of Húrin is illustrated by Alan Lee, who was already well-known for his Tolkien illustrations in previous editions (see our Tolkien Store for more) as well as his classic collaboration with Brian Froud, Faeries, and his Kate Greenaway Medal-winning Black Ships Before Troy, before his Oscar-winning work as conceptual designer for Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings film trilogy brought him even greater acclaim. Here's a quick glimpse of two of Lee's interior illustrations for The Children of Húrin. (Click on each to see larger images.) Questions for Alan LeeWe had the chance to ask Alan Lee a few questions about his illustrative collaboration with the world imagined by J.R.R. Tolkien: Amazon.com: How much of a treat was it to get first crack at depicting entirely new characters rather than ones who had been interpreted many times before? Was there one who particularly captured your imagination? Lee: Although it was a great honor to illustrate The Children of Húrin, the characters and the main elements of the story line are familiar to those who have read The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales, and these narratives have inspired quite a few illustrators. Ted Nasmith has illustrated The Silmarillion and touched on some of the same characters and landscapes. This was the first time that I ventured into the First Age; while working on The Lord of the Rings books and films--and The Hobbit--I've had to refer back to events in Middle-earth history but not really depict them. I'm drawn to characters who bear similarities to the protagonists in myths and legends; these correspondences add layers and shades of meaning, and most of the characters in this story have those archetypal qualities. However, I prefer not to get too close to the characters because the author is delineating them much more carefully than I can, and I'm wary of interfering with the pictures that the text is creating in the reader's mind. Amazon.com: The Húrin story has been described as darker than some of Tolkien's other work. What mood did you try to set with your illustrations? Lee: It is a tragic story, but the darkness is offset by the light and beauty of Tolkien's elegiac writing. In the illustrations I tried to show some of the fragile beauty of the landscapes and create an atmosphere that would enhance the sense of foreboding and impending loss. I try to get the setting to tell its part in the story, as evidence of what happened there in the past and as a hint at what is going to occur. My usual scarred and broken trees came in handy. Amazon.com: You were a conceptual designer (and won an Oscar) for Peter Jackson's film trilogy of The Lord of the Rings, which I think we can safely say had a bit of success. How does designing for the screen compare to designing for the page? Lee: They both have their share of joys and frustrations. It was great to be part of a huge film collaboration and play a small part in something quite magical and monumental; I will always treasure that experience. Film is attractive because I enjoy sketching and coming up with ideas more than producing highly finished artwork, and it's great having several hundred other people lending a hand! But books--as long as they don't get moldy from being left in an empty studio for six years--have their own special quality. I hope that I can continue doing both. Amazon.com: Of all fiction genres, fantasy seems to have the strongest tradition of illustration. Why do you think that is? Who are some of your favorite illustrators? Lee: A lot of excellent illustrators are working at the moment--especially in fantasy and children's books. It is exciting also to see graphic artists such as Dave McKean, in his film Mirrormask, moving between different media. I also greatly admire the more traditional work of Gennady Spirin and Roberto Innocenti. Kinuko Craft, John Jude Palencar, John Howe, Charles Vess, Brian Froud ... I'll stop there, as the list would get too long. But--in a fit of pride and justified nepotism--I'll add my daughter, Virginia Lee, to the list. Her first illustrated children's book, The Frog Bride [coming out in the U.K. in September], will be lovely. More Tolkien FavoritesVisit our J.R.R.

Tolkien in three decades--since the publication of The Silmarillion in 1977--The Children of Húrin reunites fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves and Men, dragons and Dwarves, Eagles and Orcs. Presented for the first time as a complete, standalone story, this stirring narrative will appeal to casual fans and expert readers alike, returning them to the rich landscape and characters unique to Tolkien. Adam Tolkien on The Children of HúrinHow did a lifetime of stories become The Children of Húrin? In an essay on the making of the book, Adam Tolkien, grandson of J.R.R. Tolkien (and French translator of his History of Middle-earth), explains that the Húrin legends made up the third "Great Tale" of his grandfather's Middle-earth writing, and he describes how his father, Christopher Tolkien, painstakingly collected the pieces of the legend into a complete story told only in the words of J.R.R. Tolkien. "For anyone who has read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings," he writes, The Children of Húrin "allows them to take a step back into a larger world, an ancient land of heroes and vagabonds, honour and jeopardy, hope and tragedy." A Look Inside the Book This first edition of The Children of Húrin is illustrated by Alan Lee, who was already well-known for his Tolkien illustrations in previous editions (see our Tolkien Store for more) as well as his classic collaboration with Brian Froud, Faeries, and his Kate Greenaway Medal-winning Black Ships Before Troy, before his Oscar-winning work as conceptual designer for Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings film trilogy brought him even greater acclaim. Here's a quick glimpse of two of Lee's interior illustrations for The Children of Húrin. (Click on each to see larger images.) Questions for Alan LeeWe had the chance to ask Alan Lee a few questions about his illustrative collaboration with the world imagined by J.R.R. Tolkien: Amazon.com: How much of a treat was it to get first crack at depicting entirely new characters rather than ones who had been interpreted many times before? Was there one who particularly captured your imagination? Lee: Although it was a great honor to illustrate The Children of Húrin, the characters and the main elements of the story line are familiar to those who have read The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales, and these narratives have inspired quite a few illustrators. Ted Nasmith has illustrated The Silmarillion and touched on some of the same characters and landscapes. This was the first time that I ventured into the First Age; while working on The Lord of the Rings books and films--and The Hobbit--I've had to refer back to events in Middle-earth history but not really depict them. I'm drawn to characters who bear similarities to the protagonists in myths and legends; these correspondences add layers and shades of meaning, and most of the characters in this story have those archetypal qualities. However, I prefer not to get too close to the characters because the author is delineating them much more carefully than I can, and I'm wary of interfering with the pictures that the text is creating in the reader's mind. Amazon.com: The Húrin story has been described as darker than some of Tolkien's other work. What mood did you try to set with your illustrations? Lee: It is a tragic story, but the darkness is offset by the light and beauty of Tolkien's elegiac writing. In the illustrations I tried to show some of the fragile beauty of the landscapes and create an atmosphere that would enhance the sense of foreboding and impending loss. I try to get the setting to tell its part in the story, as evidence of what happened there in the past and as a hint at what is going to occur. My usual scarred and broken trees came in handy. Amazon.com: You were a conceptual designer (and won an Oscar) for Peter Jackson's film trilogy of The Lord of the Rings, which I think we can safely say had a bit of success. How does designing for the screen compare to designing for the page? Lee: They both have their share of joys and frustrations. It was great to be part of a huge film collaboration and play a small part in something quite magical and monumental; I will always treasure that experience. Film is attractive because I enjoy sketching and coming up with ideas more than producing highly finished artwork, and it's great having several hundred other people lending a hand! But books--as long as they don't get moldy from being left in an empty studio for six years--have their own special quality. I hope that I can continue doing both. Amazon.com: Of all fiction genres, fantasy seems to have the strongest tradition of illustration. Why do you think that is? Who are some of your favorite illustrators? Lee: A lot of excellent illustrators are working at the moment--especially in fantasy and children's books. It is exciting also to see graphic artists such as Dave McKean, in his film Mirrormask, moving between different media. I also greatly admire the more traditional work of Gennady Spirin and Roberto Innocenti. Kinuko Craft, John Jude Palencar, John Howe, Charles Vess, Brian Froud ... I'll stop there, as the list would get too long. But--in a fit of pride and justified nepotism--I'll add my daughter, Virginia Lee, to the list. Her first illustrated children's book, The Frog Bride [coming out in the U.K. in September], will be lovely. More Tolkien FavoritesVisit our J.R.R.

Editions atlas,méfiance!
Avantages : nouveaux produits, prix attractifs au début, possibilité de résilier quand on le désire
Inconvénients : ça peut coûter très cher!
...Les éditions atlas sont devenus incontournables dans le domaine de la collection et vente par correspondance.
A chaque sorti de nouveau produit j'achète en général le numéro un en kiosque si ça me plait et commande le premier envoi à l'aide du coupon détachable joint afin d'avoir les cadeaux et tarif avantageux. Puis je résilie ensuite car on peux interrompre quand on le veux, car le moindre abonnement souscrit devient vite cher et les envois sont longs à arriver.
Je vais vous parler d"une mauvaise expérience concernant atlas.
En 2006 date de la sorti en dvd par les éditions Atlas de la collection "un gars,une fille" j'ai eu l'idée étant fan de cette série d'aller retirer le premier numéro en kiosque. J'ai tout naturellement renvoyé le coupon afin de profiter de l'offre attractive du premier envoi.
A défaut de colis, j'ai eu...

editions atlas vente forcée ?
Avantages : produits interessant
Inconvénients : mauvais commerciaux, cher à la longue, arnaque ?
...En octobre 2007, un personnel des éditions Atlas se présentant comme le responsable commercial DES EDITIONS ATLAS de la Seine Maritime, est venu à mon domicile pour m'abonner à la série des miniatures des vaisseaux STAR WARS version privilège. Cette version privilège donnait les avantages suivants :
- Les figurines devaient être présentées dans des boites en cristal et non dans des boites en plastique transparent,
- Les livraisons devaient se faire à chaque fin de mois, et ce, à partir de novembre
- Des produits supplémentaires devaient être livrés, un almanach, un tapis de souris et une figurine inédite lors du premier envoi,
- Un interlocuteur unique : le responsable commercial
Début décembre j'ai dû appeler le service clientèle des EDITIONS ATLAS car je n'avais reçu aucun colis. Le service Client m'a rassuré en me disant...

Les collections des Editions ATLAS
Avantages : Il n'y a pas que les livres chez Atlas mais aussi pour les collectionneurs de magnifique collection !
Inconvénients : Pour avoir toute la collection il faut compter plus de 2 ans !
...simplement de téléphoner à ATLAS et il prenne votre appel en compte et environ 10 jours aprés vous avez une nouvelle figurine en remplacement de celle cassé.
Ils sont vraiment trés commercial et ne font jamais de problème pour remplacer les objets deffectueux ou cassés.
La différence entre les 3 abonnements :
1er abonnement : Chez le buraliste on peut arreter à n'importe quel moment.
2eme abonnement : Il suffit d'1 simple appel aux Editions Atlas ou par courrier et ils vous stop immédiatement le prélèvement.
3eme abonnement : Le COURTAGE on ne peut pas le résilier il faut aller jusqu'au bout. Par contre si on a un jour un problème de trésorerie ATLAS est trés conciliant et par esprit commercial ATLAS arrange toujours la situation.
Donc avant de faire un abonnement COURTAGE un bon conseil reflechissez bien car il y en a pour trois ans...

Editions atlas,la vente forcée...
Avantages : fiches détaillées
Inconvénients : trop chères
...Bonjour a tous!
Aujourd'hui je viens vous parler des éditions atlas...
Au mois de mars dernier j'ai reçu les fiches "cuisine exotique" avec un beau classeur pour les ranger et 2 petites coupelles pour mettre la sauce à nems...Le tout pour la modique somme de 1.5euros.
C'était très joli et de bonne qualité. Malgré tout j'ai décidé d'arrêter cette collection.Il faut savoir que les 2 envois suivants sont composés de 12 fiches , avec un petit cadeau pour la somme exorbitante de 7.75euros
Par la suite vous recevez 36 fiches, toujours avec le petit cadeau, pour une note qui s'élève à 21.5euros....Mais où s'arrêterons nous?????
Les cadeaux sont variés, 2 coupelles ,2 sets de tables, 2 baguettes, 2 assiettes...
Bon comme je le disais j'ai voulu dire STOP à ces envois...J'ai donc envoyé le petit papier disant NON à la suite...

Les avis Ciao, numéro 1, 1 euro - Editions Atlas
Avantages : pas cher...au début...
Inconvénients : cher...à la fin...
...Allez, ne dites pas non. On s'est tous à un moment ou un autre laissé tenter par l'une des ces collections des Editions Atlas.
Ils sont vraiment malins! Il y en a pour tous les goûts et tous les publics! Ca va de la femme enceinte qui s'ennuie au bricoleur débutant en passant par celle qui à 2 kilos de trop à perdre. Tout le monde peut se sentir concerné par l'une ou l'autre de ces collections...
Pour ma part, je me suis faites avoir une fois...Et n'ayons pas peur de le dire, justement parce que j'avais 2 kilos à perdre.
"Bien maigrir" des éditions Atlas.
Comme quasiment à chaque fois, le numéro 1 était à 1 euros! Et pour cette modique somme, j'avais 60 fiches, un classeur, une reglette à calories et pleinnnnn de cadeau encore! Ouahou...Tentant...
Voilà, le chèque de 1 euros (??!??) est parti.
4 semaines plus tard...

Les collections Éditions Atlas
Avantages : Société de confiance, très bon service clients, délais de livraison raisonnables, produits de qualité.
Inconvénients : Coûts de certaines collections.
...Editions Atlas est une société par actions simplifiée, dont le siège social est basé à Evreux, dans l'Eure. Elle propose en vente à domicile ou via les marchands de journaux des collections sur de nombreux thèmes : culturels, jeunesse, loisirs, objets de collection... Ces publications sont éditées sous forme de numéros successifs qui paraissent hebdomadairement ou bimensuellement, et permettent de constituer une collection originale sur le thème en question (collection de véhicules miniatures, maison de poupées, livres encyclopédiques, figurines en résine, dioramas...).
Mais ce n'est pas tout : la société propose également plusieurs collections de vêtements et accessoires masculins sous la marque Atlas For Men, et depuis peu, des vêtements féminins sous la marque Atlas For Women, ainsi qu'une école de formation à distance...

EDITIONS ATLAS - SCOOBY DOO
Avantages : AUCUN
Inconvénients : TOUS
...J'ai abonné mon fils à la collection SCOOBY DOO des Editions ATLAS - Un jour , je reçois la visite de l'agent commercial, qui me fait une nouvelle proposition - La collection PRIVILIEGE SCOOBY DOO- A l'écouté, intéressant, mon fils allait recevoir la même chose que l'abonnement simple mais avec des cadeaux en +. Je signe alors le bon de cde mais je ne sais pas que je m'engage sur 36 mois et que je ne pourrais annuler l'abonnement avant la date de 2010. Tous les mois, ils prèlèvent la somme de 26.90 E pour 4 paquets de cartes, et 1 mois sur 2 un livre. Les colis arrivent toujours à des dates différentes, et des fois 1 colis sur 2 alors que eux ils encaissent. Mon fils ne voulant + de cet abonnement je prends contact avec le service client qui m'informe que mon fils a un abonnement PRIVILEGE et que je ne peux en aucun cas annuler et que je...

Atlas : mise au point
Avantages : Prix, diversité, simplicité
Inconvénients : Les commerciaux, la communication
...La lecture des différents avis sur CIAO concernant les éditions Atlas n'ayant pas réussi à me convaincre ou à me dissuadé tant les jugements sont partagés, j'ai décidé de " mener mon enquête " pour apporter de l'eau au moulin de tous ceux qui, comme moi, ne sauraient pas quoi en penser.

Buffy avec les Editon Atlas
Avantages : moins cher qu'un coffret
Inconvénients : seulement toutes les deux semaines !
...Cet avis ne portera pas sur la formation mais à une collection que les Edition Atlas ont conçut.
Etant fan de la série "Buffy contre les vampires", je voulais m'acheter la série en coffret mais avec mon petit budget d'ado je n'avais pas le luxe de me l'acheter.
Et il n'y a pas si longtemps que ça, je regardais la télé (oulala, une des rares fois maintenant car il n'y a rien d'interessant) j'ai vu une pub des Edition Atlas qui faisait une collection de la série "Buffy contre les vampires" en dvd. Pour le prix du premier qui est de 2.95 ? j'ai courru chez le marchand de journaux pour voir combien coûte en vrai le dvd et bien le prix est de 9.99 ?. Bien évidamment comme dans toutes collections le deuxième est plus cher que le premier dvd et moins cher que le 3ème, le prix étant de 4.99 ?.
En faisant des calcules j'en suis venue...
