Sauron Defeated

Anybody read Sauron Defeated. I found it informative, and loved the Notion Club Papers. 🤣

where is sauron defeated, a seperate book, in the silmarillion, unfinished tales??

(i will never truly be defeated, not while evil still stalks the earth)

sauron defeated.....never heard of that

sauron defeated is one of a series of 12 books christopher tolkien did called the history of middle earth. i believe it is book 9? i havent finished it yet, i just got the peoples of middle earth and got excited and started it before i finish the others, oops

oh yeah, i saw that, i think that it's cool, i want to read it!

Sauron Defeated is the next book I'm going to read from the History (or I start nr 12 the Peoples of Middle-earth), I think it's quite interesting because of all the Tengwar texts (they were in the Notion Club Papers, right?) and the stuff about the Númenórean language. I love Adûnaic.

that's by chistopher tolkien right, his son?

Yes, that's right BingaBonga. Another in the series is "The Treason of Isenguard." Sauron Defeated is narrated by Sam in the early Fourth Age. 🙂

No it's not BY him he just put together everything Tolkien himself wrote and added comments and explanations.

You're thinking of the Sillmarillion, or Unfinished Tales.

I saw, in the back of one of JRR's books, that he wrote one more book called "The adventures of Tom Bombadil." I've never seen it, nor heard of it, but i'm interested. Anyone?

Hm I was thinking of the History. Christopher didnt invent that himself.

The Adventures (as far as I know) contain different poems - mostly hobbit poems, quite nice to read.
And well one of the poems is about Bombadil

Its a book, all by itself. Type it in your search engine to find out. Its not included in the silmarillion, most of this book is Christopher Tolkien's take on his fathers book. A must for LotR fans, like me!! lolz

So you are all kind of right!

Which of the History do you like best?

I recently again read parts of Sauron Defeated... GREAT book, especially the Nights 66 ff, really enlighting, and all the Adûnaic and Old English bits are fascinating (cf user title ^^)... at the moment the Downfall of Númenor is my fav story of the later ages, so I absolutely enjoyed the texts of Sauron Defeated.

so you enjoy seeing me in pain huh? your sounding very much like feanor 😛

anywhoo turin, where the hell have you gotten too, i know that post is from like months ago but get back ere now, im not joking, i know you cant see this but so!

😆 😆

The title rather refers to the first third of the books which shows the earlier drafts of the End of LoTR where the Ring is destroyed... I didnt read that part 😉 ... Sauron didn't really suffer when Númenóre was drowned 😂 he laughed and laughed and laughed 😉

And best parts of the book are those with the text-fragments telling about the Shadow of Númenor and the time after its Downfall... Ús swíthe onsitt déathscúa, wóh bith seo woruld, feor nú is Niwelland and so on 🙂

so on and so forth,

which shows the earlier drafts of the End of LoTR where the Ring is destroyed...

wow, are they any different, or are they the same just a tiny bit altered

*hope sauron gets the ring and mercilessly slaughters the shire-folk*
