Los hijos de Húrin
"Los hijos de Húrin" es uno de los grandes relatos que fundamentan la historia de la Tierra Media y se sitúa en la primera edad, cuando elfos, hombres y enanos llevaban unos pocos siglos sobre la tierra. Junto con los amores de Beren y Lúthien, es la historia más mencionada en "El Señor de los Anillos" y en "El Silmarillion" como referente del heroísmo y la tragedia en la lucha contra el Mal, en la Primera Edad encarnado en la figura de Morgoth. Una historia trágica de amores imposibles, pasiones incomprendidas y guerras sin cuartel entre la Luz y la Oscuridad. Hombres, elfos, enanos, orcos y dragones luchan por el dominio de la Tierra Media.

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (1892-1973) was a major scholar of the English language, specialising in Old and Middle English. Twice Professor of Anglo-Saxon (Old English) at the University of Oxford, he also wrote a number of stories, including most famously The Hobbit (1937) and The Lord of the Rings (1954-1955), which are set in a pre-historic era in an invented version of the world which he called by the Middle English name of Middle-earth. This was peopled by Men (and women), Elves, Dwarves, Trolls, Orcs (or Goblins) and of course Hobbits. He has regularly been condemned by the Eng. Lit. establishment, with honourable exceptions, but loved by literally millions of readers worldwide. In the 1960s he was taken up by many members of the nascent "counter-culture" largely because of his concern with environmental issues. In 1997 he came top of three British polls, organised respectively by Channel 4 / Waterstone's, the Folio Society, and SFX, the UK's leading science fiction media magazine, amongst discerning readers asked to vote for the greatest book of the 20th century.
