‘MIFFLIN HARCOURT TO PUBLISH J.R.R. TOLKIEN\u2019S FINAL MIDDLE-EARTH WRITINGS IN 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Books & Media will publish The Nature of Middle-earth<\/em>, a previously unseen collection of writings by J.R.R. Tolkien, in the U.S. on June 24, 2021. Presented for the first time in one volume and edited by Carl F. Hostetter, the writings will transport readers back to the world of The Silmarillion<\/em>, Unfinished Tales,<\/em> and The Lord of the Rings<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deb Brody, HMH\u2019s VP and Publisher, says: \u201cIt is well known that J.R.R. Tolkien published The Hobbit<\/em> in 1937 and The Lord of the Rings<\/em> in 1954\u20135. What may be less known is that he continued to write about Middle-earth in the decades that followed, right up until the years before his death in 1973.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor him, Middle-earth was part of an entire world to be explored, and the writings in The Nature of Middle-earth<\/em> reveal the journeys that he took as he sought to better understand his unique creation. From sweeping themes as profound as Elvish immortality and reincarnation, and the Powers of the Valar, to the more earth-bound subjects of the lands and beasts of N\u00famenor, the geography of the Rivers and Beacon-hills of Gondor, and even who had beards!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis new collection is a veritable treasure-trove offering readers a chance to peer over Professor Tolkien\u2019s shoulder at the very moment of discovery: and on every page, Middle-earth is once again brought to extraordinary life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hobbit<\/em> was first published in 1937 and The Lord of the Rings<\/em> in 1954\u2013<\/strong>5. Each has since gone on to become a beloved classic of literature, and an international bestseller in more than 70 languages, collectively selling more than 150,000,000 copies worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nature of Middle-earth<\/em> will be published subsequently in several languages by numerous Tolkien publishers worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CARL F. HOSTETTER<\/strong> has for many years been one of the world\u2019s leading Tolkien experts and respected head of the Elvish Linguistic Fellowship. He has worked as a Computer Engineer for NASA since 1985.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harper Collins, the UK based publisher for Tolkien, will also release this new work in June next year. You can read The Guardian newspaper’s article about this highly anticipated publication, here<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
