Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse-unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season.

"We have to keep in mind that physics, however complicated this science might appear, has been developed by human kind, that therein persons and their fascinating fates have been involved, who achieved advances only in scientific data and research reports, but also in the richness of its historical scientific, in photographic plates and in the scientist's biography. This historical documentation is certainly the basis to start form, but thereafter, the physicists will have to continue the job on their own, somehow they must accomplish the discoverer's achievements afresh and they have a duty to impart results ... |

The five tales are written with the same skill, quality and charm that made The Hobbit a classic. Largely overlooked because of their short lengths, they are finally together in a volume which reaffirms Tolkien's place as a master storyteller for readers young and old. Roverandom is a toy dog who, enchanted by a sand sorcerer, gets to explore the world and encounter strange and fabulous creatures. Farmer Giles of Ham is fat and unheroic, but - having unwittingly managed to scare off a short-sighted giant - is called upon to do battle when a dragon comes to town. The Adventures of Tom Bombadil tells in verse of ... |

Но като след всяка съдбоносна борба, скоро започват да се събират оцелели, разбойници, ренегати и лешояди, за да разровят костите на мъртвите и да се бият за плячка над издъхващите. Време е мъдрите и тласканите от амбиция, коварните и силните да придобият опита, силата и магията, ... |
