Description Concering Books The Children of Húrin (Middle-earth Universe)
Tolkien fans are sure to treasure this tale of Middle-earth's First Age, which appeared in incomplete forms in the posthumously published The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales. Those earlier books, also edited by Tolkien's son, Christopher, only hinted at the depth and power of the tragic story of Túrin and Niënor, the children of Húrin, the lord of Dor-lómin, who achieved renown for having confronted Morgoth, who was the master of Sauron, the manifestation of evil in the Lord of the Rings.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.
Deftly balancing thrilling battles with moments of introspection, Tolkien's vivid and gripping narrative reaffirms his primacy in fantasy literature.

The Children of Hurin is a tragic tale of love and loss, of remorseful earth-shattering revelations; consequently, it is also one of the most moving stories Tolkien ever devised. The execution never fully delivered it though, only because Tolkien never finished editing it. It just needs a little bit of polishing to remove a couple of tarnishes, and then it would be perfection. The Ancient Greeks understood exactly how to evoke sorrow, pity and despair all in one powerful moment within theirThis book is one of those telling a tale that JRR Tolkien never managed to finish and publish himself. His son, Christopher, instead took the manuscripts, edited and published them.I have to admit that I'm usually highly suspicious of such procedures as it sounds like heirs wanting to cash in on a dead relatives fame. Especially in case of Tolkien, it works, too.However, the tale of Túrin and all the other characters here - be it elves, men, dwarves or other creatures - worked splendidly for me.

Narnichin Hurin: The Children of Húrin (Middle-Earth Universe), J.R.R. Tolkien, Christopher Tolkien (Editor), Alan Lee (Illustrator)The Children of Húrin is an epic fantasy novel which forms the completion of a tale by J. R. R. Tolkien. He wrote the original version of the story in the late 1910's, revised it several times later, but did not complete it before his death in 1973. His son, Christopher Tolkien, edited the manuscripts to form a consistent narrative, and published it in 2007 as an
I cant deny that Tolkien was master of his craft. However, this book missed the drive and compactness that his other books possessed and I didnt like it as much as I hoped I would. Was it because this book consists of small parts (scenes) of bigger picture put together after Tolkiens death by someone else than master himself? Most probably. Either way, this is a must-read for all true fans of Middle-earth!
4.5/5 starsI never expected Tolkien to write a story as dark and tragic as the one portrayed in The Children of Hurin.First, a full disclosure that might anger Tolkien fanatics. Despite the fact that Ive watched The Lord of the Rings trilogy more than ten times, Im sorry to say that I wasnt able to finish reading The Fellowship of the Rings because I was extremely bored with it. Its most likely because the movie has tainted me with its fast pacing, I have no idea why but the book was so boring
As a general rule I try to write my reviews "in a vacuum" as much as possible, that is, before I read through the other reviews already here. I am not going to be able to do that here. I have spent more than twenty years with this story (since my mother first read the Unfinished Tales version aloud to me when I was eight years old), and if Christopher Tolkien had not put this volume together, I might have eventually had the hubris to do so myself. Let me start by making a couple of points.
