Description:

From the author of Remainder, and two novels short-listed for the Booker Prize, C, and Satin Island, a widescreen odyssey through the medical labs, computer graphics studios, military research centers, and other dark zones where the frontiers of potential-to cure, kill, understand or entertain-are constantly tested and refined.

Bodies in motion. Birds, bees and bobsleighs. What is the force that moves the sun and other stars? Where’s our fucking airplane? What’s inside Box 808, and why does everybody want it?
Deep within the archives of time-and-motion pioneer Lillian Gilbreth lies a secret. Famous for producing solid light-tracks that captured the path of workers’ movements, Gilbreth helped birth the era of mass observation and big data. But did she also, as her broken correspondence with a young Soviet physicist suggests, discover in her final days a “perfect” movement, one that would “change everything”?
An international hunt begins for the one box missing from her records, and we follow contemporary motion-capture consultant Mark Phocan, as well as his collaborators and shadowy antagonists, across geopolitical fault lines and through strata of personal and collective history. Meanwhile, work is under way on the blockbuster movie Incarnation, an epic space tragedy.
As McCarthy peers through the screen, or veil, of technological modernity to reveal the underlying symbolic structures of human experience, The Making of Incarnation weaves a set of stories one inside the other, rings within rings, a perpetual motion machine.

Description:

Terry Brooks. David Eddings. George R. R. Martin. Robin Hobb. The top names in modern fantasy all acknowledge J. R. R. Tolkien as their role model, the author whose work inspired them to create their own epics. But what writers influenced Tolkien himself? Here, internationally recognized Tolkien expert Douglas A. Anderson has gathered the fiction of authors who sparked Tolkien’s imagination in a collection destined to become a classic in its own right.

Andrew Lang’s romantic swashbuckler, "The Story of Sigurd," features magic rings, an enchanted sword, and a brave hero loved by two beautiful women – and cursed by a ferocious dragon. Tolkien read E. A. Wyke-Smith’s THE MARVELLOUS LAND OF SNERGS to his children, delighting in these charming tales of a pixieish people "only slightly taller than the average table." Also appearing in this collection is a never-before-published gem by David Lindsay, author of VOYAGE TO ARCTURUS, a novel which Tolkien praised highly both as a thriller and as a work of philosophy, religion, and morals.

In stories packed with magical journeys, conflicted heroes, and terrible beasts, this extraordinary volume is one that no fan of fantasy or Tolkien should be without. These tales just might inspire a new generation of creative writers.

Description:

Immerse yourself in Middle-earth with J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic epic fantasy masterpieces behind the films…
This special 50th anniversary edition includes three volumes of The Lord of the Rings (The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King), along with an extensive new index-a must-own tome for old and new Tolkien readers alike.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, the Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But in this timeless story of good vs evil, the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth, it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell by chance into the hands of the hobbit Bilbo Baggins.
From Sauron’s fastness in the Dark Tower of Mordor, his power spread far and wide. Sauron gathered all the Great Rings to him, but always he searched for the One Ring that would complete his dominion.
When Bilbo reached his eleventy-first birthday he disappeared, bequeathing to his young cousin Frodo the Ruling Ring and a perilous high fantasy quest: to journey across Middle-earth, deep into the shadow of the Dark Lord, and destroy the Ring by casting it into the Cracks of Doom.
This classic fantasy series, The Lord of the Rings, tells of the great quest undertaken by Frodo and the Fellowship of the Ring: Gandalf the Wizard; the hobbits Merry, Pippin, and Sam; Gimli the Dwarf; Legolas the Elf; Boromir of Gondor; and a tall, mysterious stranger called Strider.
J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973), beloved throughout the world as the creator of The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion, was a professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford, a fellow of Pembroke College, and a fellow of Merton College until his retirement in 1959. His chief interest was the linguistic aspects of the early English written tradition, but while he studied classic works of the past, he was creating a set of his own.
J.R.R. Tolkien’s complete masterwork of epic fantasy delivers an unforgettable adventure with:

A Perilous Quest: Young hobbit Frodo Baggins inherits the One Ring and must journey to the Cracks of Doom, the only place it can be destroyed.

An Unlikely Fellowship: From the wise wizard Gandalf and the mysterious Strider to loyal hobbits, a stoic dwarf, and a graceful elf, a band of heroes unites to protect the Ring-bearer.

A Vast Fantasy World: Explore the sprawling, richly detailed world of Middle-earth, from the peaceful Shire to the dark land of Mordor where the Dark Lord Sauron rules.

The Rings of Power: Learn the story of the Great Rings and the One Ring forged by the Dark Lord to rule them all, binding all of Middle-earth in darkness if he reclaims it.

Description:

J.R.R. Tolkien, wielki miłośnik i znawca kultury Północy, zanim napisał „Hobbita” i „Władcę Pierścieni”, w latach dwudziestych XX w. ułożył własną wersję staroskandynawskiej legendy o upadku Niflungów (Nibelungów). Nadał jej formę dwóch związanych ze sobą poematów o niezwykle kunsztownej wersyfikacji, zatytułowanych „Nowa pieśń o Völsungach” oraz „Nowa pieśń o Gudrun”.

Pierwsza pieśń opowiada o losach legendarnego bohatera Sigurda Völsunga i dwóch zakochanych w nim kobiet – walkirii Brynhildy oraz pięknej Gudrun, księżniczki z rodu Niflungów, która dzięki magicznemu podstępowi została jego żoną.

Druga przedstawia wydarzenia po śmierci Sigurda – Gudrun wbrew swej woli zawiera małżeństwo z potężnym Atlim, władcą Hunów (historycznym Attylą); Atli morduje jej braci, wielkich bohaterów; Gudrun wywiera straszną zemstę, po czym odbiera sobie życie.

„Legenda o Sigurdzie i Gudrun” to fascynująca opowieść ze starożytnej Północy o magii, bogach, krwawych bitwach, heroicznych wojownikach, tragicznej miłości i zdradzie. Niezwykły prezent dla wszystkich miłośników Tolkiena, opatrzony przez jego syna szczegółowym komentarzem oraz fragmentami dotąd niepublikowanych wykładów ojca o literaturze staroislandzkiej.

Description:

The journey through Middle-earth begins here with J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic prelude to his epic fantasy Lord of the Rings trilogy.
"A glorious account of a magnificent adventure, filled with suspense and seasoned with a quiet humor that is irresistible… All those, young or old, who love a fine adventurous tale, beautifully told, will take The Hobbit to their hearts."-The New York Times Book Review
"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit." So begins one of the most beloved and delightful tales in the English language-Tolkien’s prelude to The Lord of the Rings. Set in the imaginary world of Middle-earth, at once a classic myth and a modern fairy tale, The Hobbit is one of literature’s most enduring and well-loved high fantasy novels.
Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely traveling any farther than his pantry or cellar. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on an adventure. They have launched a plot to raid the treasure hoard guarded by Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. Bilbo reluctantly joins their epic quest, unaware that on his journey to the Lonely Mountain he will encounter both a magic ring and a frightening creature known as Gollum.
