Summary
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien: Children of Hurin
J.R.R. During the First World War, long before "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings", Tolkien started writing stories under the title "The Book of Lost Tales". Among the manuscripts, three stood out for their length. Tolkien's intention was to create from them "a set of more or less connected legends, ranging from large and cosmogonic, to the level of a romantic fairy tale". He considered three great stories - among them "Hurin's Children" - to be sufficiently well-rounded works that do not require wider knowledge of legends.
Ninety years later, Tolkien's son, Christopher Tolkien, the heir and editor of his father's legacy, published the story "Hurin's Children" in an integral edition. The son's edition of Tolkien received mostly positive reviews. Among Anglo-American reviews, it is impossible to find negative criticism. But "Children of Hurin" are far from "The Hobbit" in scope, style, and imagination. Not to mention "The Lord of the Rings". There is not a single element in the narrative that could be compared to the most interesting aspects of the later works: the very concept of the ring, Tolkien's ecological mysticism, and the historical context of the trilogy.
