Tolkien para lectores qe quieran ir más allá de la Tierra MediaLos cuentos de hadas no son sólo para niños, como sabe cualquiera que haya leído a J.R.R. Tolkien. En el ensayo Sobre los cuentos de hadas, Tolkien describe la naturaleza de los cuentos y relatos fantasticos y discute las opiniones de los academicos y de aquellos que los relegan al dominio de la "juvenilia"; el libro incluye uno de los primeros cuentos de Tolkien, Hoja de Niggle.Escritas en el periodo (1938-1939) en que El Señor de los Anillos empezaba a desarrollarse, estas dos obras muestran la maestria y la inteligencia de Tolkien en el arte de la "sub-creacion", el poder de dar a la fantasia "la interna consistencia de la realidad". En esta nueva edicion se publica por vez primera el poema Mitopoeia (el hacedor de mitos), en el que el autor Filomito; "amador de mitos", confunde las opiniones de Misomito, "enemigo de mitos".

Edición coleccionista de una de las leyendas más influyentes.La primera autoridad del mundo en materia artúrica reimagina la historia del rey Arturo y sus caballeros, una de las leyendas más queridas e influyentes, para un nuevo siglo en esta bella edicion para coleccionistas, acompañada de magnificas ilustraciones a todo color y dibujos de la mano de John Howe, el mundialmente aclamado artista de Tolkien.Las historias del rey Arturo y Merlin, Lancelot y Ginebra, Galahad, Gawain, Tristan y el resto de los caballeros de la Mesa Redonda, asi como de la busqueda del Santo Grial, no han dejado de apreciarse a lo largo de los siglos y son la inspiracion de muchas novelas de fantasia modernas, peliculas y series. Estas leyendas comenzaron cuando un misterioso heroe celta llamado Arturo entro en el escenario de la historia en algun momento del siglo VI, lo que genero una gran cantidad de relatos orales que unos 900 años mas tarde Thomas Malory recogeria en su obra clasica Le Morte dArthur (La muerte de Arturo).El gran libro del rey Arturo nos trae esas leyendas a la epoca moderna, recurriendo por primera vez a una prosa accesible para lectores contemporaneos. Ademas de las historias incluidas en La muerte de Arturo, John Matthews incluye numerosos relatos de Arturo y sus caballeros que o bien Malory desconocia o bien estaban escritos en otros idiomas, como la historia de Avenable, la muchacha que se hizo pasar por hombre y se convirtio en un caballero famoso; Morien, cuyas aventuras son tan fantasticas y emocionantes como cualquiera de las que encontramos en la obra de Malory; y una version de la vida de Gawain, el caballero favorito de la Mesa Redonda, desde su extraño nacimiento e infancia en la pobreza hasta su ascension al cargo mas importante de todos: emperador de Roma.Ademas, aqui encontramos tambien algunos de los relatos mas tempranos sobre Arturo, derivados de la tradicion celtica. El heroe epico aparece representado en historias tan poderosas como Las aventuras del Niño Aguila y La llegada de Merlin, basada en el texto medieval temprano La vida de Merlin, en la que se nos cuenta una version totalmente nueva de la historia del gran hechicero.Casi seiscientos años despues de Malory, parece que estos relatos existan aun en un presente glorioso, como si pudieramos ir a pie a la corte del rey Arturo y encontrarnos en Camelot. Neil Gaiman
