The Story of Kullervo

J.R.R. Tolkien - 2018

Overview

This is the first publication of a previously unknown fantasy work by J.R.R. Tolkien. It recounts the powerful story of a doomed young man sold into slavery, who vows revenge against the magician responsible for his father's death. Kullervo, son of Kalervo, is depicted as one of Tolkien's darkest and most tragic characters, an orphan boy with supernatural abilities and a fated destiny. Raised by the dark magician Untamo, who murdered his father and kidnapped his mother, Kullervo's only solace is his twin sister, Wanona, and the protection of his magical black dog, Musti. His journey into slavery fuels his desire for vengeance, yet he discovers that fate's cruel hand offers no escape.
