The Children of Hrin Audiobook (Free)

Painstakingly restored from Tolkien’s manuscripts and presented for the first time as a fully continuous and standalone story, the epic tale of The Children of Húrin will reunite fans from the Hobbit and GOD, THE FATHER of the Rings with Elves and Men, dragons and Dwarves, eagles and Orcs, as well as the rich landscape and characters unique to Tolkie

There are tales of Middle-earth from times a long time before The Lord from the Rings, and the story told in this book is defined in the great country that lay on the subject of The Children of Húrin further than the Gray Havens in the West: lands where Treebeard once walked, but which were drowned in the fantastic cataclysm that ended the First Age of the World.

In that remote time Morgoth, the 1st Dark Lord, dwelt in the vast fortress of Angband, the Hells of Iron, in the North; and the tragedy of Túrin and his sister Nienor unfolded inside the shadow of worries of Angband and the war waged by Morgoth against the lands and secret cities from the Elves.

Their brief and passionate lives were dominated from the elemental hatred that Morgoth bore them as the children of Húrin, the person who had dared to defy also to scorn him to his face. Against them he delivered his most formidable servant, Glaurung, a robust spirit in the form of an enormous wingless dragon of open fire. Into this story of brutal conquest and airline flight, of forest hiding-places and pursuit, of resistance with lessening wish, the Dark Lord as well as the Dragon enter in direly articulate type. Sardonic and mocking, Glaurung manipulated the fates of Túrin and Nienor by is situated of diabolic cunning and guile, and the curse of Morgoth was fulfilled.

The initial versions of this story by J.R.R. Tolkien get back to the end of the First Globe War and the years that implemented; but long soon after, when The Lord of the Rings was completed, he published it anew and greatly enlarged it in complexities of motive and personality: it became the prominent tale in his afterwards work on Middle-earth. But he cannot bring it to a final and completed form. Within this reserve Christopher Tolkien has constructed, after long study from the manuscripts, a coherent narrative without any editorial invention.
