Estéticamente hablando es un libro precioso. La edición, toda ilustrada, es una delicia. Sin embargo, el texto me ha fallado un poco más. Son unos pocos apuntes que nos recuerdan de manera muy superficial algunos de los hechos más relevantes del Silmarillion, El Hobbit y El Señor de los Anillos (de estos dos últimos apenas se aporta nada realmente), en un orden propio de modo que hay hechos que se repiten en distintas categorías.
Aún así, creo que puede venir muy bien para recordar rápidamente hechos del Silmarillion, sobre todo. Batallas, sucesión de acontecimientos, edades, fechas, y cosas por el estilo. Como guía rápida creo que está bastante bien.

Um atlas muito útil, não só para quem ainda não leu todas as obras de Tolkien, como para quem já as leu. Dá uma ideia geral da Terra Média, a sua génese até aos tempos actuais, tudo isto resumindo e salientando as acções e personagens mais importantes.

This is a musthave/mustread for the Tolkien fan! From the beautiful binding to the gorgeous artwork everything is stunning. Very cool to see everything fall in to place on the maps etc.

What a precise and clear way to show just the essential parts of the marvelous and exciting world that is the Tolkien Fantasia, leaves every reader wishing more and motivates every possible new fan reading all the books there are, really great!

Beautiful book.

Even if lord of the rings is not your thing, everyone should admire how thorough Tolkien and his family have been in creating and maintaining this world, mythology and lore. This book really only adds to the world as it provides maps and graphics in chronological order by each age with a description of the time period in relation to that location.
