Lei recien esta frase y me gusto, la comparto con ustedes.- "Muchos de los que viven merecen morir y algunos de los que mueren merecen la vida. ¿Puedes devolver la vida? Entonces no te apresures a dispensar la muerte, pues ni el más sabio conoce el fin de todos los caminos." Tolkien
El viejo año tornábase pardo; soplaba el Viento del Oeste;
Tom recogió una hoja de haya caída en el bosque.
“¡He aquí un hermoso día, traído por la brisa!
¿Por qué esperar al próximo año? Lo tomaré cuando me plazca.
¡En este día compondré mi barca y viajaré a la ventura
Al oeste, por el delgado arroyo, siguiendo mi capricho!”
Un pajarillo se sentaba en una ramita. “¡Hola,
El viejo Tom Bombadil era un alegre sujeto;
De chaqueta azul brillante y botas amarillas;
Llevaba en su alto sombrero una pluma de ala de cisne.
Vivía bajo la colina, donde el Tornasauce
Corría desde su fuente herbosa hasta la cañada.
El viejo Tom en verano caminaba por los prados
Recogiendo ranúnculos, persiguiendo a las sombras,
Cosquilleando a las abejas que zumbaban entre las flores,

In two days, the second round of the French legislative election will be held. Apparently, Nicolas Sarkozy's own political party is seen as the leading party to the point that some French people actually fear the upcoming political context in France. In fact, that fear can be seen in this video that I found on the blog Place de la République and there are also other things that will be shared. So watch the video and tell me what you think about it.Besides, have a look at the image that you can find on the web site Vivre avec Sarkozy, an anti-Sarkozy web site.

Húrin is a Man, a king, living towards the end of the First Age, by Middle-Earth reckoning. He is unfortunate to bear the brunt of Morgoth's conquest. Húrin is captured and a curse is placed on his family. His son, Túrin, is main focus of the story. Túrin is a brooding warrior, much like his mother. His affect is wrought early by the death of his lovely sister, Urwen. As a youth, he is forced from his home and is fostered in the forest halls of Thingol, a king of elves. He will soon have a sister, for as he departs, his mother is with child.Túrin soon becomes very wise in the ways of the forest and the world as taught by the elves, but he still bears the curse of Morgoth and is a bitter friend to the elves. His adventures take him through battles and strained partnerships across Middle-Earth. He has taken The Black Sword, a cursed blade, and is effective with it in his battles. But the curse also is deadly to friends of the bearer. As the Orcs of Morgoth spread across the land,

Taking the unfinished manuscripts of The Children of Hurin has been completed by J.R.R's son, Christopher Tolkien, who claims he did not editorialize during the process.
Seeing a billion dollars out there ripe for the picking, movie studios are showing interest in adapting the book to the big screen, however the family claims to be in no hurry to do so.
Here is more on the book, a brief version of which appear in The Silmarillion can be found courtesy of wikipedia.
Christopher Tolkien (Tolkien Jr), terminó de compilar todas las notas dejadas por su padre en cuanto a este libro, tomándole aproximadamente 3 décadas en hacerlo. Y dentro de menos de un mes (17 de abril, estreno mundial), todos podremos disfrutar de la última gran obra de JRR Tolkien, titulada Children of Hurin.
Este libro significa el primer “nuevo libro” de Tolkien desde El Silmarillion, publicado en 1977 (publicado póstumamente, pues el autor del Señor de Los Anillos murió en 1971), luego de que lo empezara 89 años atrás.
Según algunos, Children of Hurin tendrá escenas de batallas épicas importantes, y una llamativa sorpresa, lo cual podría significar la posibilidad de, en un futuro, llevarla a la pantalla como se hizo con Lord of the Rings.
Además, el libro será ilustrado por Alan Lee, quien ganó un Oscar por dirección de arte con el tercer film, El Retorno del Rey. Son 25 sketches y 8 pinturas las que apareceran en la primera edició
“All that is gold does not glitter,Not all those who wander are lost;The old that is strong does not wither,Deep roots are not reached by the frost.”J. R. R. Tolkien (1892 – 1973) English fantasy author and philologist
A US district court in New York has ordered file-sharing website eSnips to reveal the names of users who posted copies of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit on their site last year.
eSnips agreed to remove the posts, but Tolkien's estate is worried people will resubmit them. The estate"s lawyers say they want to inform the people in question that this activity is unlawful.
Stephen Maier, the estate's lawyer said "The Tolkien estate was sensitive to the fact that most of the offenders were fans and did not seek commercial gain. We would hope that any further action would not be necessary"
Tolkien's estate often takes action against internet infringers. Only last month the estate obtained damages from an IT professional of £2,050 who offered Tolkien's works for download.
April the 17th will see the release of J. R. R. Tolkien's novel "The Children of Hurin' which completes the "Lord of the Rings' Tolkien's youngest son Christopher has deciphered and organised his father's notes to complete the new tale of Middle Earth that was started by J.R.R. in 1918.
The Children of Hurin is set long before the famous The Lord of the Rings, before even the Hobbits appeared. Back when the feared evil enemy was still the fallen Vala, Morgoth, and Sauron was just his lowly lieutenant. This story follows the tale of Hurin, a man who dared to defy the evil Morgoth, and Hurin's family's tragic destiny.
It was a discovery that excited scientists and JRR Tolkien fans alike. When the skull of a tiny human-like creature was unearthed in Flores, Indonesia, in 2003, it was seen by many as evidence that an unknown humanoid species had once lived in the rainforests.But now scientists from Roehampton University have debunked the myth of the living hobbit, claiming he was merely a human with a small head.Dr Robert Martin and Dr Ann M. Maclarnon of the School of Human and Life Sciences at Roehampton (UK) led the team of scientists, which concluded the 18,000-year-old remains display the symptoms of microcephaly - a condition which leaves its human sufferers with an undersize skull.Their findings will be published in scientists' forum the Anatomical Record in November.
