Myslím, že som vychádzal z toho listu, ktorý sa spomína napr. aj tu: https://middle-earth.xenite.org/when-did-the-third-age-end-in-our-calendar/. No a potom asi z úvahy, že ak 2 z 3 vekov mali viac ako 3000 rokov, potom 4., 5. a 6. vek by mohli mať asi o tretinu menej, takže 6. vek. Sorry, že mi trvalo tak dlho odpovedať, našiel som to tu viac-menej len náhodou

It must be like this, then it must be.

Horiace Krovie?

Horiaci ker je po anglicky Burning bush, takže ak briar je synonymum kra, tak aj v slovenčine by to malo byť synonymum, lebo takéto jasné biblické odkazy v jeho mytológii väčšinou nebývajú. Osobne ho podozrievam skôr z toho, že potreboval názov súhvezdia, ktorý sa rýmuje s "fire"

Ak je to tŕnie, možno by som to smeroval na Horiaci ker. Je to síce (pre mňa) jasný odkaz na Bibliu... :/

Prekladám práve veršované časti z Berena a Lúthien (čiže tak polovicu knihy...) a mám otázku - ako by ste preložili názov súhvezdia Burning Briar? Tu je vysvetlený (možný) pôvod toho, inak je to dosť záhadný názov: http://www.physics.ccsu.edu/larsen/burningbriar.pdf
Briar je buď fajka (v tomto prípade menej pravdepodobne) alebo tŕnitý ker. Horiace Tŕnie?

Nové vydanie najlepšieho Tolkienovho životopisu od H. Carpentera, Argo 2017 https://www.funtastic.sk/J-R-R-Tolkien-Zivotopis-Carpenter-Humphrey-d24082.htm, ak si chce niekto doplniť zbierku, toto je tá správna voľba

Aha čo vymysleli vo WETA Workshop https://www.wetanz.com/shop/books-movies-tv/middle-earth-from-script-to-screen/

Vyzerá to luxusne, cena 67,71 eur, dá sa nájsť aj na Amazonoch a snáď bude aj na bookdepository, vyjde to 10/2017 alebo 11/2017.

In case anyone plans to visit WorldCon...

Greetings from the Finnish Tolkien Society Kontu!

As you most likely know by now, the 75th Worldcon will be held in Helsinki, Finland from the 9th to the 13th of August. It is quite probable that many Tolkien enthusiasts from around the world are going to attend the con, so we thought that it could be fun to organize something for our international friends. The plan is to have a big picnic at Suomenlinna (http://www.suomenlinna.fi/en/) to which we'll invite every Tolkien fan that attends the con. It's a great and easy opportunity to meet Tolkien fans from all around the world, and we hope that you could inform your society's members about this.

The picnic will be held on Tuesday, the 8th of August. We chose the day before the con because people will be a bit too busy during the actual con to have time for an extra activity – and many people are arriving to Helsinki on the previous day anyway.

Suomenlinna is really easy to access from central Helsinki, and provided that the weather is good, it's a really nice place for hanging out with friends – in fact, our society goes there once every year with other speculative fiction groups! So while additional information will be given later (I'll create a Facebook event soon!) it'd be nice if your society could mention this to its members – we hope to see plenty of international Tolkien representation at the con!


With warm greetings,
