Una nueva crónica de la Segunda Edad de la Tierra Media con nuevas ilustraciones en acuarela y lápiz del decano del arte de Tolkien, Alan Lee.


J.R.R. Tolkien describió la Segunda Edad de la Tierra Media como una "edad oscura, y no se cuenta (o no es necesario) mucho de su historia". Y durante muchos años, los lectores tendrían que contentarse con las señales que se encuentran en El Señor de los Anillos y sus apéndices, incluida la forja de los Anillos de Poder, la construcción de Barad-dûr y el surgimiento de Sauron.


No fue hasta que Christopher Tolkien publicó El Silmarillion después de la muerte de su padre que se pudo contar una historia más completa. Aunque gran parte del contenido del libro se refería a la Primera Edad de la Tierra Media, al final había dos obras clave que revelaban los tumultuosos acontecimientos relacionados con el auge y la caída de la isla de Númenor.


Surgido del Gran Mar y regalado a los Hombres de la Tierra Media como recompensa por ayudar a los angelicales Valar y los Elfos en la derrota y captura del Señor Oscuro Morgoth, el reino se convirtió en un centro de influencia y riqueza; pero a medida que aumentaba el poder de los Númenóreanos, inevitablemente se sembraría la semilla de su caída, que culminaría en la Última Alianza de Elfos y Hombres.


Se revelaría una visión aún mayor de la Segunda Edad en publicaciones posteriores, primero en Cuentos inconclusos de Númenor y la Tierra Media (Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth), luego ampliados en el magistral libro de doce volúmenes de Christopher Tolkien La Historia de la Tierra Media (The History of Middle-earth), en el que presentó una gran cantidad de cuentos escritos por su padre, muchos en forma de borrador.


Ahora, siguiendo la cronología de "La historia de los años" ("The Tale of Years") en los apéndices de El Señor de los Anillos (The Lord of the Rings), el editor Brian Sibley ha reunido en un solo libro una nueva crónica de la Segunda Edad de la Tierra Media, contada principalmente con las propias palabras de Tolkien tomadas de sus textos publicados.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


A new chronicle of the Second Age of Middle-earth with new watercolor and pencil illustrations by Tolkien's artistic dean, Alan Lee.


J.R.R. Tolkien described the Second Age of Middle-earth as "a dark age, and not much of its history is (or need be) told." For many years, readers had to rely on hints found in El Señor de los Anillos (The Lord of the Rings) and its appendices, including the forging of the Rings of Power, the building of Barad-dûr, and the rise of Sauron.


It wasn't until Christopher Tolkien published El Silmarillion (The Silmarillion) after his father's death that a fuller story could be told. Although much of the book focused on the First Age of Middle-earth, two key works at the end revealed the turbulent events surrounding the rise and fall of the island of Númenor.


Rising from the Great Sea and gifted to the Men of Middle-earth as a reward for aiding the angelic Valar and the Elves in defeating and capturing the Dark Lord Morgoth, the kingdom became a center of influence and wealth; but as the Númenóreans' power grew, the seeds of their downfall were inevitably sown, culminating in the Last Alliance of Elves and Men.


A broader vision of the Second Age would emerge in later publications, first in Cuentos inconclusos de Númenor y la Tierra Media (Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth), then expanded in Christopher Tolkien's masterful twelve-volume series La Historia de la Tierra Media (The History of Middle-earth), which presented a wealth of stories written by his father, many in draft form.


Now, following the chronology of "La historia de los años" ("The Tale of Years") in the appendices of El Señor de los Anillos (The Lord of the Rings), editor Brian Sibley has compiled a new chronicle of the Second Age of Middle-earth, told primarily in Tolkien's own words drawn from his published texts.

The Wrangler Jeans sized 62x28 were incorrectly tagged for size.
Fit Type: Relaxed,Classic, Color: Antique Indigo, Size: 64W x 30L
The exterior size tags a adhesive strip on the leg were marked were marked 62X28. these tags were the INCORRECT . the jeans have a white cloth tag sewn inside the garment on the left front pocket that clearly indicated these jeans are size 60X32.. It's a case an of improperly marked pair of jeans. looking at them on a display shelf one would have to believe this pair of jeans were size 62X28. i do not old the shipping department at blame. I need to exchange them for the proper size.

Sleek, upscale and supremely comfortable
Size: 9, Color: Cognac
I did not know that Marc Joseph makes hands free slip ins. I own four pair of Skechers, and I thought they were the only game in town. I decided that I wanted a pair of business casual pair of wingtips. I already own two pair of Skechers Mark Nason wingtips in blue and black nubuck, so I bought a pair of their cognac colored. Perfectly fine shoes, but when they arrived, I didn't like the color, so the search was on! I found these cognac-colored Mark Joseph's and hands down, they fit the bill for what I was looking for! I actually bought two more pair of Skechers in the brown family in the same oxford, elastic lace style: One pair of another style of their Mark Nason line and one pair of their Garza line. So now I am comparing three pair of Skechers to the Marc Joseph's. Obsessive, I know :). Luckily, I have a Skechers store near me for easy returns. The look I was going for is a sleek, business casual that I could dress up or down. Three things that I love about the Marc Joseph's are the beautiful cognac finish: the white yet lower profile soles and the more formal, narrower toe style. The MJ's nailed it with the color. They have a slightly darker, more lustrous and glossier look than the others. The color alone looks classier and pairs well with black pants which I wear for work almost every day. The white soles are exactly what I was looking for. The visible rise is probably about a third of the thickness of the others and are a much more subtle, classier look. They offset the cognac color nicely but are not that in your face, sneaker looking, thick white sole. When I was comparing them to the others right out of the box, I thought they would be too narrow and tight because they looked sleeker and narrower than the others. But they fit perfectly and were very comfortable right out of the box. Upon closer inspection and comparison, I realized the narrower, sleeker look is because the eyelets for the elastic shoelaces are closer together that give the illusion that the shoe is narrower. They compensate for what might create a tighter fit across the top of your foot with two stretchy "gores" they are called on either side of the upper part. The "slits" are nicely finished, and you can't see the stretchy part and add a nice design touch to the shoe. But between them and the elastic shoelaces, they must stretch just enough to make them extremely comfortable across the top. So, if you have a high instep/arch, they should accommodate it nicely. Last but not least, they are very comfortable shoes. I wear a size 8 1/2 to 9 and my foot is slightly on the wide side. I bought the size 9's and they fit perfectly. If you are between sizes or have wider feet, you may want to size up a half size. Because the Skechers have much thicker soles, they might be slightly more cushioned, but the MJ's are cushioned more than enough for my purposes and very comfortable. Plus, they actually just feel better on my feet. I can't speak to how durable they will be as I just got them, but so far, so good. So, there you have it. I rely on other people's reviews a lot when buying online, and especially for shoes. I know it's always a crap shoot, particularly when buying shoes online, so I hope this review helps. Everybody's feet are different, but I highly recommend these.
