History of Númenor and Middle-earth of the Second Age

Up until now, to get a general idea of the Second Age, readers of Tolkien have had to rely on various, mostly unfinished, accounts. In this History of N menor and Middle-earth of the Second Age, two Tolkien experts -researcher and translator Martin Simonson and novelist and YouTuber Bernard Torell (also known as Kai47)- join forces to explain the entire Age in a single work. Through an evocative and detailed chronicle spanning more than three thousand years, from the founding of N menor and the Grey Havens to the defeat of Sauron in the War of the Last Alliance, this History collects and comments on everything Tolkien had to say about N menor and Middle-earth in this fascinating era.

The book contains more than sixty illustrations (the vast majority in color) with Second Age motifs by internationally renowned artists, including Anke Eissmann and Christopher R dlund. In addition, there are six detailed color maps; a large number of informative tables on the most varied curiosities of the Age; complete chronologies and an original dictionary containing all the terms relating to the N men rean culture.
