gkierulf's review against another edition

This little book packs quite a lot of brilliant information! This book delivers fantasy and brilliant accounts of events throughout the history of Arda, not only of the physical history but its relation to the history of its peoples through the ages. However, the title may be a touch misleading as this book is not quite an atlas, it is rather an account of the characters and lands of Arda and how they shape one another through Tolkien's stories. In any case, I've forgiven the title of this book as it does deliver on brilliant illustrations regardless of their subject matter. Not only could I not put it down, but it also gave further insight into Tolkien's legendarium while not revealing too much information as to entice readers to find out the full story for themselves by reading the original work.
I will definitely indulge myself in Day's other works in this 'series'.

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.

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.
