ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Книга-перевертыш, состоящая из двух романов Режиса Мессака, известного французского эссеиста, поэта и переводчика.
Роман с непроизносимым названием «Иесинанепси» продолжает традицию постапокалиптических антиутопий. Но если герои классического рассказа о конце света делают все, чтобы выжить, то здесь протагонист (или, скорее, антигерой) — чудом уцелевший при рассеивании смертельного газа, уничтожившего почти все население земли во время Второй мировой войны (через четыре года она действительно начнется!), изначально пассивен и безответственен. Он отстраненно, равнодушно, цинично наблюдает за вырождением горстки уцелевших вместе с ним детей. Отмечает, как коверкается и обедняется их язык, стирается воспитание, теряются воспоминания о прошлой жизни, а помимо этого — как формируется новый жаргон, создается новая религия и устанавливается закон: выживает сильнейший. На глазах героя вчерашние школьники превращаются в дикарей каменного века и выстраивают свое первобытное общество.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
The second of two companion volumes which documents the later writing of The Silmarillion, Tolkien’s epic tale of war.
In The War of the Jewels Christopher Tolkien takes up his account of the later history of The Silmarillion from the point where it was left in Morgoth’s Ring. The story now returns to Middle-earth, and the ruinous conflict of the High Elves and the Men who were their allies with the power of the Dark Lord. With the publication in this book all of J.R.R. Tolkien’s later narrative writing concerned with the last centuries of the First Age, the long history of The Silmarillion, from its beginning in The Book of Lost Tales, is completed; and the enigmatic state of the work at his death can be understood.
This book contains the full text of the Grey Annals, the primary record of The War of the Jewels, and a major story of Middle-earth now published for the first time: the tale of the disaster that overtook the forest people of Brethil when Hurin the Steadfast came among them aft ...

These mysterious papers, discovered in the early years of the twenty-first century, report the discussions of an Oxford club in the years 1986-7, in which after a number of topics, the centre of interest turns to the legend of Atlantis, the strange communications receive ...

The first of a two-book set that contains the early myths and legends which led to the writing of Tolkien's epic tale of war, The Silmarillion.
The Book of Lost Tales stands at the beginning of the entire conception of Middle-earth and Valinor for the Tales were the first form of the myths and legends that came to be called The Silmarillion.
