The Lost Road and Other Writings (The History of Middle-Earth, Vol. 5)
- Language amd Legend before The Lord of the Rings
The glorious history of how Middle-earth would changeâ€”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 â€œspace-travelâ€ and Tolkien on â€œtime-travel.â€ Lewisâ€™s novel Out of the Silent Planet became the first book of a science fiction trilogy. Tolkienâ€™s unfinished story â€œThe Lost Roadâ€ chronicles the original destruction of NÃºmenor, 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 landâ€”its topography and ever-clashing forcesâ€”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 worldâ€™s most enduring fantasies.
