The description of this item has been automatically translated. With the release of the single volume, we turn the page. The editorial offer will thus once again be in line with other countries and with the original version, giving readers the opportunity to choose the edition they prefer, while waiting for the last piece to be released, i. The economic version, hopefully in the format with black covers, for quick and undemanding readings. The single volume of The Lord of the Rings contains many new features for Italian readers. We are facing a real "breaking edition", as announced in a press release by Bompiani. The new translation has, in fact, been released in a bound edition illustrated by Alan Lee! The "reference" English edition is the 60th anniversary edition by HarperCollins, which is the finest edition currently in circulation.

As in the English edition, there are no three facsimile pages of Mazarbul's book and, above all, the "Martian" covers that had created such a scandal among Tolkien enthusiasts have disappeared. Compared to the old illustrated edition, the quality of the paper has improved considerably. On the credits page, the phrase "revised translation with the collaboration of Giampaolo Canzonieri - Asso ciazione Italiana Studi Tolkieniani" stands out. Here are all the new features introduced in the single volume edition that were not present in the old translation. 1 This new edition includes all 50 stunning watercolors that were recently re-scanned by Alan Lee himself, along with his title page painting appearing in full for the first time and named "Occhiello".

Finally the illustrations are in the right position with respect to the text they describe and no longer placed randomly. Their quality is almost the same, the new scan has made them more defined and with a slightly colder color tone. 2 it is the first Italian edition with all three maps that JRR Tolkien always wanted together with his masterpiece and that Christopher Tolkien had specially created. They are in black and white. Unlike the English edition, the main map - that of the north-western part of Middle-earth - is larger and is deployable, attached to the inside of the front cover (it is therefore found at the beginning of the book and no longer at the end) and is quite large: approximately 45 x 45 cm (similar to the previous illustrated editions Bompiani and Rusconi). The map of the Shire is before the first chapter while in the last two pages there is the detailed map of Rohan, Gondor and Mordor. 3 two new family trees, those of the Bolger and Boffin hobbit families. Single volume map4 finally implemented, after 15 years, the 2005 English edition for the Fiftieth Anniversary, edited by Hammond and Scull - with the full collaboration of Christopher Tolkien; considered the most complete, with almost 400 corrections and a new expanded index, it is the version and closest possible to the version that JRR Tolkien had foreseen. 5 Finally, the edition can already be called "magazine" because it contains many corrections of oversights, typos and inconsistencies, some of which.
