It is also quite tragic, as we shall see. After giving a bit of background on Túrin’s ancestry, it picks up where the last chapter left off, with Túrin’s father Húrin imprisoned in Angband. The chapter then focuses in on Túrin’s life.Like “Of Beren and Lúthien”, this chapter summarizes one of the Great Tales of the First Age. In fact, many of you may already realize that The Children of Húrin is a novel length telling of this story! We look forward to a chapter-by-chapter discussion of The Children of Húrin in 2023.QUOTE OF THE WEEK » "Then Glaurung died, and the veil of his malice was taken from [Nienor], and she remembered all the days of her life. Looking down upon Túrin she cried: ‘Farewell, O twice beloved! A Túrin Turambar turun ambartanen: master of doom by doom mastered! O happy to be dead!’ " - Silmarillion Ch 21LINKS & MATHOMS:- listen to The Silmarillion for FREE » https://www.audibletrial.com/everon- buy The Silmarillion » https://amzn.to/3FOKAY5- buy The Atlas of Middle-earth » https://amzn.to/3KLOxQa- buy Tolkien's Requiem » https://tolkiensrequiem.com/- buy Tolkien's Overture » https://tolkiensoverture.com/- Timeline of Arda » https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Timeline_of_Arda - Interactive Map of Beleriand » http://lotrproject.com/map/beleriand/- Episode 53 » Silmarillion 2015 » Ch 21 » Of Túrin Turambar Pt 1/2 » https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWiD0oiRjlk- Episode 54 » Silmarillion 2015 » Ch21 » Of Túrin Turambar Pt 2/2 » https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oZ7jP3wbnwSPECIAL THANKS:- John R- Kaitlyn of Tea with Tolkien- Jacob Lockham- John H- Scotchy Bobo- Ms. Anonymous- Andrew T- Redhawk- Shannon S- Brian O- Emilio P- Zeke F- James A- James L- Chris L- Chuck F- Asya V- Ish of the Hammer- Teresa C- David of Pints with Jack- Jonathan D- Eric B- Johanna T- Mike M- Robert H- Paul D- Julia- Werty- Matthew W- JoeBagelMan- Chris K- Jacob S- Dawn J- Richard K- Matt R- Garret P- Seb MAS WELL AS THOSE CELEBRATING THEIR PATRON ANNIVERSARY THIS MONTH (AUGUST OF 2022)- Jonathan L- Henry B- Austin B- Caitlin HBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tolkien-road--5222755/support.
