Unfinished Tales《努门诺尔与中洲之未完的传说》汇集了自远古至魔戒大战结束、时间跨度足有数千年之久的种种中洲逸事： 巫师甘道夫对促成矮人聚首袋底洞、谋复孤山的生动叙述； 伊熙尔杜身遭不测，魔戒落入大河的前因后果； 加拉德瑞尔的过往与力量之戒的铸成； 刚铎与洛汗两国缘何结下同仇敌忾的生死盟约； 沉沦之地努曼诺尔漫长历史遗留的独一记载； 以及初代黑暗魔君尚未败亡之时，杜内丹人的先祖图奥是如何亲见司掌众水之神乌欧牟现身于贝烈瑞安德的海滨，传奇英雄图林又何以慨叹自己“自童年起就在魔苟斯的黑暗迷雾中摸索”。诚然，书中“每个故事都是‘未完待续’的，差别只在程度的深浅，并且是多种意义上的‘未完待续’”，但传奇本无穷尽，故也永不终结。 Unfinished Tales is a collection of narratives ranging in time from the Elder Days of Middle-earth to the end of the War of the Ring, and provides those who have read The Lord of the Rings with a whole collection of background and new stories from the twentieth century’s most acclaimed popular author. The book concentrates on the realm of Middle-earth and comprises such elements as Gandalf’s lively account of how it was that he came to send the Dwarves to the celebrated party at Bag-End, the emergence of the sea-god Ulmo before the eyes of Tuor on the coast of Beleriand, and an exact description of the military organization of the Riders of Rohan.Unfinished Tales also contains the only story about the long ages of Numenor before its downfall, and all that is known about such matters as the Five Wizards, the Palantiri and the legend of Amroth.

Rían, wife of Huor, dwelt with the people of the House of Hador; but when rumour came to Dor-lómin of the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, and yet she could hear no news of her lord, she became distraught and wandered forth into the wild alone. There she would have perished, but the Grey-elves came to her aid. For there was a dwelling of this people in the mountains westward of Lake Mithrim; and thither they led her, and she was there delivered of a son before the end of the Year of Lamentation. And Rían said to the Elves: “Let him be called Tuor, for that name his father chose, ere war came between us. And I beg of you to foster him, and to keep him hidden in your care; for I forebode that great good, for Elves and Men, shall come from him. But I must go in search of Huor, my lord.” Then the Elves pitied her; but one Annael, who alone of all that went to war from that people had returned from the Nirnaeth, said to her: “Alas, lady, it is known now that Huor fell at the side of Húrin his brother; and he lies, I deem, in the great hill of slain that the Orcs have raised upon the field of battle.” Therefore Rían arose and left the dwelling of the Elves, and she passed through the land of Mithrim and came at last to the Haudh-en-Ndengin in the waste of Anfauglith, and there she laid her down and died. But the Elves cared for the infant son of Huor, and Tuor grew up among them; and he was fair of face, and golden-haired after the manner of his father’s kin, and he became strong and tall and valiant, and being fostered by the Elves he had lore and skill no less than the princes of the Edain, ere ruin came upon the North.
