Comprising lore from Tolkien's world, 'Unfinished Tales' spans the ages of Middle-Earth and further relates events of 'The Silmarillion' and The Lord of the Rings. It tells the story of Tour and his encounter with the sea-god Ulmo, who set him on the path to the legendary elven city of Gondolin, and that of Túrin, tragic hero of the First Age who defied the curse of Morgoth and wandered as an outlaw until he could avenge his people.

Here is the only surviving story from long ages of Númenor, the greatest kingdom of men, before its downfall at the hands of Sauron, and all that is known of the five wizards, emissaries of the gods in Middle-Earth. Also contained here are the stories of Isildur's temptation and despair after cutting the Ring from Sauton's hand, Gandalf's account of sending Thorin and his dwarves to Bag-End, and the journey of the Ringwraiths during their hunt for the One Ring.

Me surpreendeu

Pensei que era mais um livro de auto-ajuda e como não curto muito o gênero tinha baixas expectativas. Mas de auto-ajuda esse livro não tem quase nada. Os casos relatados são bem interessantes e as partes que falam sobre a ciência do cérebro são fascinantes. Pontos negativos: algumas verdades absolutas me incomodaram um pouco e tem uma hora que fica meio repetitivo...
