The Fall of Númenor

The Fall of Númenor: and Other Tales from the Second Age of Middle-earth is a collection of writtings by J.R.R. Tolkien, edited by Brian Sibley as a single book and published in 2022. It collects all the published materials concerning the Second Age of Middle-earth, presenting them for the first time in a single volume.

Instead of the usual map of Middle-earth, it includes a reproduction of the older General Map of Middle-earth, showing the Havens of Umbar and the Cape of Forochel. The map is a post-1970 Allen & Unwin version, taking the Glanduin and Swanfleet from the Pauline Baynes Map and erroneously applying them to the upper course of the Isen (instead of a tributary of the Gwathló).

The texts were previously published in The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, The History of Middle-earth, and The Nature of Middle-earth, edited by Christopher Tolkien and Carl F. Hostetter. No new material by Tolkien is presented in this book. The book is illustrated by Alan Lee.
