Listen to the Tale of Tuor, the chosen one of Ulmo, the Lord of the Waters, about how the last great elven fortress of Gondolin, the City of the Seven Names, fell, about valor and betrayal, about fateful prophecies and missed opportunities…For the first time in Russian, "The Fall of Gondolin" is published — a new novel from the author of the cult bestsellers "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" by John R.R. Tolkien.The Fall of Gondolin is the last of the three great tales of Middle-earth (the other two are The Children of Hurin and The Tale of Beren and Luthien. Tolkien began writing The Fall back in 1918, when he was in the hospital recovering from an illness earned on the battlefields of the Great War. "The Fall of Gondolin" will be the first of the tales that will later make up the "Silmarillion" - the chronicle of Middle-earth.Most of Tolkien's works were not published during his lifetime, but after the Professor's death, his son Christopher systematizes the manuscripts left after his father and will gradually prepare them for publication, commenting in detail and fascinatingly. It was thanks to Christopher that readers saw The Silmarillion, The History of Middle-Earth, The Death of Arthur, The Children of Hurin, Beren and Luthien and other works by Tolkien. The Fall of Gondolin was Christopher's last work — Christopher Tolkien died shortly after its release."The Fall of Gondolin" tells the story of the death of Gondolin, the last of the elven fortresses, hiding from the eye of the dark lord Morgoth for more than four hundred years. However, one day a traitor showed the enemy the way to the city, and the inhabitants of Gondolin who came out on the walls saw a whole army of balrogs, orcs and dragons under the walls. This is a story about valor and betrayal, about fateful prophecies and missed opportunities... At the beginning of the third millennium, the popularity of Middle-earth jumped to unprecedented heights thanks to the release of Peter Jackson's trilogy "The Lord of the Rings". Ten years later, Jackson returned to Middle-Earth with the Hobbit trilogy, and right now Amazon Studio is filming The Lord of the Rings series — the most expensive and ambitious show in history. The premiere of the series is scheduled for 2022, and its action will unfold in the Second era, thousands of years before the birth of Frodo and Aragorn.
