内容简介

中土世界如何变化的光辉历史--并成为读者在《指环王》中认识的世界。

托尔金(J. R. R. Tolkien)和刘易斯(C. S. Lewis)是 "英克林 "文学圈的朋友和同事，他们开始了一项挑战。刘易斯要写 "空间旅行"，托尔金要写 "时间旅行"。刘易斯的小说《走出寂静的星球》成为科幻小说三部曲的第1部。托尔金未完成的故事 "迷途 "记录了努曼诺的毁灭，这是中土世界第二时代的一个关键事件。

在这本耐人寻味的书中，克里斯托弗-托尔金追溯了中土世界的生动历史，将这片土地--它的地形和不断冲突的力量--带到了读者从《指环王》中认识的状态。失落之路》和其他著作既有趣又有信息量，分享了对世界上Z持久的幻想之一的演变的新见解。

The glorious history of how Middle-earth would change--and become the world readers recognize in The Lord of the Rings

As friends and fellow members of the literary circle known as The Inklings, J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis embarked on a challenge. Lewis was to write on "space-travel" and Tolkien on "time-travel." Lewis's novel Out of the Silent Planet became the first book of a science fiction trilogy. Tolkien's unfinished story "The Lost Road" chronicles the original destruction of Númenor, a pivotal event of the Second Age of Middle-earth.

In this intriguing volume, Christopher Tolkien traces the vivid history of Middle-earth, bringing the land--its topography and ever-clashing forces--to the state readers recognize from The Lord of the Rings. Entertaining and informative, The Lost Road and Other Writings shares fresh insights into the evolution of one of the world's most enduring fantasies.
