J R
A National Book Award-winning satire about the unchecked power of American capitalism, written more than three decades before the 2008 financial crisis. At the center of J R is J R Vansant, a very average sixth grader from Long Island with torn sneakers, a runny nose, and a juvenile fascination with junk-mail get-rich-quick offers. Responding to one, he sees a small return; soon, he is a running a massive Ponzi scheme out of a phone booth in the school hallway. Everyone from the school staff to the municipal government to the squabbling heirs of a player-piano company to the titans of Wall Street and the politicians in Washington will be caught up in endlessly ballooning bubble of the J R Company. First published in 1975, J R is an appallingly funny and all-too-prophetic depiction of America's romance with finance. It is also a book about suburban development and urban decay, divorce proceedings and disputed wills, the crumbling facade of Western civilization and the impossible

J. R. R. Tolkien: Elämäkerta, Ljudbok
Tarutaiturin elämän sykähdyttävä syväluotaus. Humphrey Carpenterin J. R. R. Tolkien: Elämäkerta esittelee kattavasti hobittien ja Keski-Maan luojan matkan köyhästä orpopojasta maailman suosituimmaksi fantasiakirjailijaksi. J. R. R. Tolkienin omiin arkistoihin ja suvun sekä ystävien haastatteluihin perustuva elämäkerta kertoo kiehtovan tarinan muinaiskielistä kiinnostuneesta pojasta, joka kehitteli omia ”haltiakieliään” ja niiden puhujille sankarillisen historian. Aineksista syntyi miljoonien lukijoiden rakastama Taru Sormusten herrasta, jonka maailmaa Tolkien hienosääti koko ikänsä ja toimi samalla arvostettuna professorina Oxfordissa. ”Yksi mielenkiintoisimmista ja nautinnollisimmista kirjallisuuden suurnimien elämäkerroista.” The Times J. R. R. Tolkien: Elämäkerta julkaistaan tarkistettuna suomennoksena Tolkienin syntymän 130-vuotisjuhlan kunniaksi. Humphrey Carpenter (1946–2005) oli brittiläinen elämäkerturi ja radiotoimittaja, joka ehti itse tavata J. R. R. Tolkienin ennen tämän kuolemaa 1973. Carpenter on kirjoittanut myös Tolkienin kirjallisesta ystäväpiiristä kertovan teoksen The Inklings ja toimittanut Tolkienin Kirjeet-kokoelman (WSOY 2009).

COLLECTED POEMS OF J R R TOLKIEN
The first-ever publication of the collected poems of J.R.R. Tolkien, spanning almost seven decades of the author's life and presented in an elegant three-volume hardcover boxed set. J.R.R. Tolkien aspired to be a poet in the first instance, and poetry was part of his creative life no less than his prose, his languages, and his art. Although Tolkien's readers are aware that he wrote poetry, if only from verses in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, its extent is not well known, and its qualities are underappreciated. Within his larger works of fiction, poems help to establish character and place as well as further the story; as individual works, they delight with words and rhyme. They express his love of nature and the seasons, of landscape and music, and of words. They convey his humor and his sense of wonder. The earliest work in this collection, written for his beloved, is dated to 1910, when Tolkien was eighteen. More poems would follow during his years at Oxford, some of them

The Letters Of J. R. R. Tolkien
The comprehensive collection of letters spanning the adult life of one of the world's greatest storytellers, now revised and expanded to include more than 150 previously unseen letters, with revealing new insights into The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion. J.R.R. Tolkien, creator of the languages and history of Middle-earth as recorded in The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion, was one of the most prolific letter-writers of this century. Over the years he wrote a mass of letters - to his publishers, to members of his family, to friends, and to 'fans' of his books - which often reveal the inner workings of his mind, and which record the history of composition of his works and his reaction to subsequent events. A selection from Tolkien's correspondence, collected and edited by Tolkien's official biographer, Humphrey Carpenter, and assisted by Christopher Tolkien, was published in 1981. It presented, in Tolkien's own words, a highly detailed portrait of the man in his many aspects: storyteller, scholar, Catholic, parent, friend, and observer of the world around him. In this revised and expanded edition of The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien, it has been possible to go back to the editors' original typescripts and notes, restoring more than 150 letters that were excised purely to achieve what was then deemed a 'publishable length', and present the book as originally intended. Enthusiasts for his writings will find much that is new, for the letters not only include fresh information about Middle-earth, such as Tolkien's own plot summary of the entirety of The Lord of the Rings and a vision for publishing his 'Tales of the Three Ages', but also many insights into the man and his world. In addition, this new selection will entertain anyone who appreciates the art of letter-writing, of which J.R.R. Tolkien was a master.

The Collected Poems Of J. R. R. Tolkien
World first publication of the collected poems of J.R.R. Tolkien, spanning almost seven decades of the author's life and presented in an elegant three-volume hardback boxed set. J.R.R. Tolkien aspired to be a poet in the first instance, and poetry was part of his creative life no less than his prose, his languages, and his art. Although Tolkien's readers are aware that he wrote poetry, if only from verses in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, its extent is not well known, and its qualities are underappreciated. Within his larger works of fiction, poems help to establish character and place as well as further the story; as individual works, they delight with words and rhyme. They express his love of nature and the seasons, of landscape and music, and of words. They convey his humour and his sense of wonder. The earliest work in this collection, written for his beloved, is dated to 1910, when Tolkien was eighteen. More poems would follow during his years at Oxford, some of them very elaborate and eccentric. Those he composed during the First World War, in which he served in France, tend to be concerned not with trenches and battle, but with life, loss, faith, and friendship, his longing for England, and the wife he left behind. Beginning in 1914, elements of his legendarium, 'The Silmarillion', began to appear, and the 'Matter of Middle-earth' would inspire much of Tolkien's verse for the rest of his life. Within The Collected Poems of J.R.R. Tolkien almost 250 works are presented across three volumes, including more than 70 that have never before been seen. The poems are deftly woven together with commentary and notes by world-renowned Tolkien scholars Christina Scull & Wayne G. Hammond, placing them in the context of Tolkien's life and literary accomplishments and creating a poetical biography that is a unique and revealing celebration of J.R.R. Tolkien.
