توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب :
یک همراه منحصر به فرد برای ارباب حلقه ها که به تاریخ متنی کتاب مورد علاقه ملت مربوط می شود. با راهنمای نامها در ارباب حلقهها که قبلاً منتشر نشده بود که توسط خود تالکین نوشته شده بود.
در The Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion، دانشمندان مشهور بینالمللی، وین جی. هاموند و کریستینا اسکال، فصل به فصل شاهکار تالکین را بررسی میکنند و بینشهای تخصصی در مورد تکامل، ساختار و معنای آن ارائه میدهند. آنها درباره تأثیرات مهم در توسعه آن، ارتباط بین آن اثر و سایر نوشتههای تالکین، اشتباهات و ناسازگاریها، تغییرات قابل توجه در متن، و کلمات قدیمی و غیرعادی مورد استفاده تالکین بحث میکنند. هزاران یادداشت، کلید خورده به نسخههای استاندارد ارباب حلقهها، اما در دسترس همه، غنا و پیچیدگی یکی از محبوبترین آثار داستانی در زمان ما را نشان میدهد.
همچنین به نوشتههای تالکین که قبلاً یا به طور گسترده منتشر نشده بود، اشاره گستردهای میشود، از جمله طرحهای زمانی دقیق، فهرست دستنویس ناتمام ارباب حلقهها، و مهمتر از همه، نامگذاری مهم یا راهنمای نامها در ارباب حلقهها آماده شده است. برای استفاده از مترجمان، مدتهاست که چاپ نشده و اکنون به تازگی رونویسی و به طور کامل چاپ شده است.
با در دست داشتن این منابع، حتی باتجربه ترین خواننده ارباب حلقه ها، لذت و قدردانی بیشتری از دستاورد باشکوه تالکین خواهد برد.
The Reader's Companion که در ابتدا در سال 2005 منتشر شد، جایزه سالانه Scholarship Mythhopoeic را در Inkling Studies برنده شد. اکنون به مناسبت شصتمین سالگرد ارباب حلقه ها بازبینی و به روز شده است.

INDEX
توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب به زبان اصلی :
A unique companion to The Lord of the Rings which relates the textual history of the Nation's Favourite Read; with a previously unpublished Guide to the Names in The Lord of the Rings, written by Tolkien himself.
In The Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion internationally acclaimed scholars Wayne G. Hammond and Christina Scull examine Tolkien's masterpiece chapter by chapter, offering expert insights into its evolution, structure, and meaning. They discuss important influences on its development, connections between that work and other writings by Tolkien, errors and inconsistencies, significant changes to the text, and archaic and unusual words used by Tolkien. Thousands of notes, keyed to standard editions of The Lord of the Rings but universally accessible, reveal the richness and complexity of one of the most popular works of fiction in our time.
Extensive reference is made also to writings by Tolkien not previously or widely published, including elaborate time-schemes, an unfinished manuscript index to The Lord of the Rings, and most notably, the important Nomenclature or guide to names in The Lord of the Rings prepared for the use of translators, long out of print and now newly transcribed and printed in its entirety.
With these resources at hand, even the most seasoned reader of The Lord of the Rings will come to a greater enjoyment and appreciation of Tolkien's magnificent achievement.
Published originally in 2005, the Reader's Companion won the annual Mythopoeic Scholarship Award in Inkling Studies. It has now been revised and updated to mark the 60th anniversary of The Lord of the Rings.
