Tolkien, spanning almost seven decades of the author’s life and presented in an elegant three-volume hardback boxed set. Winner of the 2025 Mythopoeic Scholarship Award in Inkling Studies J.R.R.Tolkien aspired to be a poet in the first instance, and poetry was part of his creative life no less than his prose, his languages, and his art. Although Tolkien’s readers are aware that he wrote poetry, if only from verses in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, its extent is not well known, and its qualities are underappreciated. Within his larger works of fiction, poems help to establish character and place as well as furth

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.Unless I am allowed to tell the story of my life in my own way, I cannot tell it at allMary Seacole – traveller, nurse, businesswoman and radical for her time – defied a prejudiced British government to care for soldiers wounded during the Crimean War.This ground breaking account, written by Seacole in 1857, brings to life her incredible journey from Jamaica to Central America and England, and then on to modern-day Ukraine, where she acted as nurse to injured soldiers while running her business, the 'British Hotel'. A witness to key battles, she gives vivid accounts of how she coped with disease, bombardment and other adversities during the Crimean War.In this extraordinary autobiography, Seacole shows how she navigated her way through racial injustice, poverty and ignorance to become the first woman of colour in Britain to publish her memoirs. It is a testament to her enduring legacy.

托爾金曾形容中土世界的第二紀元是「黑暗時代」，僅在《魔戒》與附錄中留下片段記載，如力量之戒的鑄造、巴拉督爾的建立，以及索倫的崛起。《努門諾爾的陷落》由 Brian Sibley 編選，依據《魔戒》附錄「年代記」時間線，將托爾金於不同作品中對第二紀元的敘述匯集成完整編年史，包括《精靈寶鑽》、《未完成的故事》與《中土世界的歷史》系列的內容。書中由 Alan Lee 以水彩與鉛筆繪製全新插畫，重現努門諾爾的興盛與滅亡，以及精靈與人類最後同盟的史詩篇章。J.R.R. Tolkien famously described the Second Age of Middle-earth as a ‘dark age, and not very much of its history is (or need be) told’. And for many years readers would need to be content with the tantalizing glimpses of it found within the pages of The Lord of the Rings and its appendices, including the forging of the Rings of Power, the building of the Barad-dûr and the rise of Sauron. It was not until Christopher Tolkien published The Silmarillion after his father’s death that a fuller story could be told. Although much of the book’s content concerned the First Age of Middle-earth, there were at its close two key works that revealed the tumultuous events concerning the rise and fall of the island of Númenor. Raised out of the Great Sea and gifted to the Men of
