Muito antes da era de O Senhor dos Anéis, Morgoth, o primeiro Senhor do Escuro, lança uma terrível maldição contra toda a família de Húrin, o homem que tinha ousado desafiá-lo frente a frente. Assim, os destinos de Túrin e de sua irmã Niënor serão tragicamente entrelaçados. A vida breve e apaixonada dos dois irmãos é dominada pelo ódio de Morgoth, que envia seu mais temível servo, Glaurung, poderoso espírito na forma de um enorme dragão de fogo sem asas, numa tentativa de cumprir sua maldição e destruir os filhos de Húrin. A masterful tale masterfully told. I was surprised that this was a real page turner - but perhaps I shouldn't have been. Tolkien here constructed the very core of the Indo-European mythic ethos. Dragons, chaos, betrayal, tragedy - what more could you ask for? Turin Turambar, Master of Doom by Doom Mastered. The illustrations were a pleasant surprise as well. If you're a fan of Middle Earth, this is another book to add to the canon. This book is an effort by Christopher Tolkien to combinedifferent versions and manuscripts of his father's story revolving around Turin and Nienor - the son and daughter of Hurin. The main two sources are the chapter in the Silmarillian titled "Of Turin Turambar" and "Narn i Chîn Húrin" from Unfinished Tales. Most people familiar with Turin have probably read the account in the Silmarillian. If so, you're in for quite a treat! The Silmarillian tends to be written in mostly a narrative style; "Turin said goodbye to his family, he crossed this bridge, he came to this kingdom, he met with this king". This version is a much more developed version of that. Lots of details are added. Almost all of the scenes have dialog in them. There is way more description. The chapter in the Kindle Edition of the Silmarillian is a 2-hour read. This book is almost 5. No fan of Tolkien should pass this up! The story revolves mainly around Turin, son of Hurin, one of the lords of Men who was imprisoned by Morgoth. Turin is a tragic figure - whose boldness and determination often have consequences. And not just for him. Everywhere he goes, the shadow of his fate falls on those around him. Turin's sister, Nienor enters the story about 2/3 of the way through. She is also a tragic figure - largely in part because of getting intertwined with her brother's life. This has to be one of my favorite Tolkien stories apart from The Hobbit and Lord Of The Rings. It reminds me a lot of Greek and Shakespearean tragedies. Lots of subplots that all end up being tied nicely together in the end.
... So there's something very pagan about Tolkien's world, and it gets more pagan as we go further back. The Children of Húrin is practically Wagnerian. It has a lone, brooding hero, a supremely malicious dragon, a near-magical helmet, a long-standing curse, a dwarf of ambiguous moral character called Mîm and - the clincher, this - incest. Which is here a disaster and not, as in Wagner, a two-fingers-to-fate passion. Readers will already have come across the story in its essence in The Silmarillion and, substantially, in Unfinished Tales, which came out in 1980. One suspects that those who bought the latter book will not feel too cheated when they buy and read The Children of Húrin. ... Christopher Tolkien has brought together his father's text as well, I think, as he can. In an afterword, he attests to the difficulty his father had in imposing "a firm narrative structure" on the story, and indeed it does give the impression of simply being one damned thing after another, with the hero, Túrin, stomping around the forests in a continuous sulk at his fate, much of which, it seems, he has brought upon himself. As to whether the story brings out the feeling of "deep time" which Tolkien considered one of the duties of his brand of imaginative literature, I cannot really tell, for I do not take this kind of thing as seriously as I did when I was a boy and feel that perhaps the onus for the creation of such a sense of wonder is being placed too much on the reader. Actually, the First Age here seems a pretty miserable place to be; Orcs everywhere, people being hunted into outlawhood or beggary, and with no relief, light or otherwise, from a grumpy, pipe-smoking wizard. But it does have a strange atmosphere all of its own. Maybe it does work. Inspired by the Norse tale of Sigurd and Fafnir, Tolkien first wrote a story about a dragon in 1899, at the age of 7. At school he discovered the Kalevala, a Finnish epic poem, and by 1914 was trying to turn the tale of Kullervo into “a short story somewhat on the lines of Morris’s romances”. By 1919 he had combined these elements in what became the tale of Túrin Turambar. The book is beautiful, but other than the atmospheric illustrations by Alan Lee, and a discussion of the editorial process, much of what lies between the covers was actually published in either The Silmarillion (1977) or Unfinished Tales (1980). Yet this new, whole version serves a valuable purpose. In The Children of Húrin we could at last have the successor to The Lord of the Rings that was so earnestly and hopelessly sought by Tolkien’s publishers in the late 1950s.

Morwen, esposa de Húrin, mesmo grávida e sob grande perigo, envia Túrin, seu filho primogênito, para o Reino élfico de Doriath, cujo rei recebe o menino e o protege das muitas ameaças que se espalham com o avanço do poderio de Morgoth. A criança é criada como um príncipe e se torna um destemido guerreiro, que herda o temperamento arredio e severo da mãe, bem como a destreza de batalha do pai. Túrin se torna um justiceiro nas terras ermas e o grande motivo de pavor por parte dos servos de Morgoth.
Sabendo que o Túrin era o misterioso guerreiro no ermo, o Senhor Sombrio dispende sua mais maliciosa criatura para trazer desgraça à família de Húrin: Glaurung, o Pai dos Dragões. O lagarto de fogo tece um plano venenoso e intrincado para destruir Túrin, sua mãe Morwen e sua irmã Nienor. Dessa forma, o Destino cobrará um alto preço pela arrogância de pai e filho.
Considerada a grande tragédia escrita por J.R.R. Tolkien, Os Filhos de Húrin apresenta uma narrativa ininterrupta e completa. Ao lado de Beren e Lúthien e A Queda de Gondolin, a história é considerada um dos “Três Grandes Contos dos Dias Antigos" que estão dispostos de maneira condensada em O Silmarillion.
O livro apresenta textos explicativos de Christopher Tolkien, bem como ilustrações coloridas e em preto e branco do respeitado ilustrador Alan Lee, ganhador do Oscar de Melhor Direção de Arte pela trilogia cinematográfica de O Senhor dos Anéis.
