Histoire
Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely travelling further than the pantry of his hobbit-hole in Bag End. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard Gandalf and a company of 13 dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on a journey ‘there and back again’. They have a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon....

Histoire
Beren was a mortal man, but Lúthien was an immortal Elf. Her father, a great Elvish lord, was deeply opposed to Beren, and imposed on him an impossible task that he must perform before he might wed Lúthien. Undaunted by Lord Thingol’s challenge, Beren and Lúthien embark on the supremely heroic attempt to rob Morgoth, the greatest of all evil beings, of a Silmaril, one of the hallowed jewels that adorn the Black Enemy’s crown.

Description
Presented for the first time as a stand-alone work, the epic tale of The Fall of Gondolin reunites fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves and Men, Balrogs, Dragons and Orcs and the rich landscape and creatures unique to Tolkien’s Middle-earth.
This audio production features Samuel West, voicing J. R. R. Tolkien’s original writings, and Timothy West, reading the editorial commentary by Christopher Tolkien.
Gondolin, beautiful but undiscoverable, is central to the enmity of two of the greatest powers in the world.
Morgoth of the uttermost evil seeks in vain to discover the marvellously hidden city of his Elven enemies, while the gods in Valinor refuse to support Ulmo Lord of Waters' designs to protect it.
Into this world comes Tuor, cousin of Túrin, and guided unseen by Ulmo he sets out on the fearful journey to Gondolin to warn them of their coming doom. Then Morgoth learns through an act of supreme treachery all that he needs to mount a devastating attack on the city, with Balrogs and dragons and numberless Orcs.
Commentaires
"Never did [Tolkien] write a more sustained account of battle. With dragons and fiery balrogs galore, the attack on Gondolin makes Peter Jackson’s souped-up cinema battles look like tabletop games." (The Times)
"It’s a load-bearing pillar in the grander narrative that eventually came to encompass better-known works. Tolkien explicitly expressed his wish later in life that the three Great Tales of Middle-earth’s early days — The Children of Húrin, Beren and Lúthien, and The Fall of Gondolin — along with The Lord of the Rings and other writings, should be considered as 'one long Saga of the Jewels and the Rings'." (Entertainment Weekly)
"The text is rife with references to characters and creatures that come to play a role in The Lord of the Rings...one passage in particular seems to set up one of the most famous scenes from the LOTR trilogy." (Time)

An interesting read!
"The Fall of Gondolin", despite not being one long story like was the case with "The Children of Húrin", is definitely an interesting and, I should say, a must read. In fact, being divided into many parts, each giving further information about the story itself and related ones, made it even better.
...
The excellent narration by Timothy and Samuel West made this read even more enjoyable!

Feels like a research paper
I loved the Silmarrilion and I have been so happy that they have been bringing those stories back at an easier to enjoy level. The Children of Hurin is a great story about an absolutely tragic character. The tale of Beren and Luthien tells about star crossed lovers battling near gods to be together. This book is not that. This book is two hours of a fragment of how Gondolin fell. It’s a very interesting two hours. Those two hours are wedged between an eight hour explanation about why this story wasn’t finished by J.R.R. Tolkien. If you are a mega fan of the lord of the rings and need to have everything that Tolkien wrote, then this book is definitely written for you. If you are a casual fantasy fan who thinks they are getting a cool story about a place vaguely mentioned in The Hobbit, stay away. Eight hours of back story for a two hour tale isn’t worth it.

wonderful compilation of the fall of Gondolin
very insightful, learned more of Tolkien's lore that I hadnt known from the silmarillion and a wonderful account of Gondolin. Shame he was never able to finish such a deep story or bring it to fulfillment in detail and stature as it was obviously meant to be. Still loved it

Guess I should have read the fine print. This is like listening to a screen play, stage directions included. Not what I expected.

Wowzer
Loved it - Children of Hurin levels of heroics, but one great stand right after another in rapid-fire. An experience, to be sure. Plus great insight from Christopher's notes/commentary. Very, very good.

Middle Earth History Lesson
There is a reason J.R.R. Tolkien never published this novel while he was alive. Even with the material added by his son, Christopher Tolkien, The Fall of Gondolin reads more like a synopsis than a story. Little effort is made to develop characters or build suspense. Key events are skimmed over rather than fleshed out, and all tension and emotion are wrung out of the prose by the necessity of keeping the majestic narrative flowing. And yet it is that majestic narrative that saves this book from obscurity. Tolkien's words are beautiful and a joy to listen to, especially as performed by Samuel West. Tolkien nerds will probably overlook the book's shortcomings and appreciate the depth added to the Middle Earth lore.

Delve deep into history in search of Tuor's story
This is not a story with a single text, but it is instead an archeological study. Join Christoppher Tolkien as he attempts to peaice together the events surrounding The Fall Of Gondolin and the life of Tuor the messenger of Ulmo. You will be presented with multiple contradictory texts obscured by the fog of time. You will need to discern the truth of the facts based only on the weight of the tales presented.

More of an incredible essay than a cohesive tale
Which of course makes sense given the context of the book. If you're expecting a Children of Húrin, this isn't another one of those. But if you want a better understanding of Tolkien and the evolution of Middle Earth, this is an absolute must listen.

dense but worth it
the text is very dense, and hard to digest large parts at once, but if you can stick it out, it is worth it.
