About This Novel
The mortal Beren fell in love with Lúthien, who was born in the immortal elven clan. However, their love was initially unable to get the approval of Lúthien's father, the Elf King Thingol. In order to make Beren quit, Thingol put forward the conditions for marrying Lúthien: Beren must complete a seemingly hopeless task. This mission is the core of the legend, and it prompted Beren and Lúthien to accomplish a supreme heroic feat together: to recapture a Silmarillion from the first Dark Lord, Morgoth, who was more powerful and terrifying than Sauron in later generations. The legend of Beren and Lúthien is one of the most important stories in Middle-earth, the magnificent world created by Professor J. R. R. Tolkien. It ranks among the three major legends in the ancient times of Middle-earth. It is not only an integral part of the grand background of "The Lord of the Rings", but also an indispensable cornerstone of "The Silmarillion". It also has extraordinary significance in the author's own life. A year before his death, J. R. R. Tolkien wrote a letter about his memory of his late wife. He wrote: "She was the source of the story that became the main part of The Silmarillion... But the story went off the rails, I was left behind, and I could not plead before the unforgiving Mandos." In Beren and Luthien, Christopher Tolkien made a new The attempt is to extract the story from the general background and use a series of manuscripts written by the author at different stages of creation to sort out and compare the development of the characters and plots, thereby showing readers the full evolution of the story of Beren and Lúthien over the course of decades.

The story is short, but the length is very long
The text is very small, but the appendix and the following versions of several different stories are very long, which looks a bit cumbersome.
