Beren and Lutien (from ill. Alan Lee)

In front of you is a story about true love and fidelity, courage and courage.

Beren, a simple mortal, dared to ask his wife, his daughter, beauty Lutien, to his wife Tingian Tingol. A truly impossible task set the lord of the Doriate before the daredevil: to bring him Silmaril, the most precious creation of Feanor, the very stone that the Black Lord Morgot was introduced into his crown...

Christopher Tolkien tells about the evolution of the poem Beren and Lutien about how the plan of one of three key episodes, three great plots of the Silmarillion, developed.
