Description from the seller
The Lord of the Rings appeared in the years 1954-1955. Very quickly, in 1956-1957, the first Dutch translation was published by Max Schuchart (1920-2005), followed by numerous reprints. It is the very first translation in the world of The Lord of the Rings. Schuchart was awarded the Martinus Nijhoff Prize for this.
This is the first Dutch translation, bound in linen and with the three dust jackets in good condition. The dust jackets are slightly discolored on the spines and have very small damages at the top of the spines, but they are complete and in very good condition.
J.R.R. Tolkien, In the Lord of the Rings. Translated by Max Schuchart. Utrecht/Antwerp, Het Spectrum, [1956]–(1957). Three volumes. Linen with dust jackets (design by Kees Kelfkens). 468; 396; 432 pages. With fold-out maps at the back of volumes 1 and 3. First edition. Volume 1 contains the ex libris designed by Pam Rueter for Mr. A. Pitlo (1901–1987), a well-known Dutch professor of private and notarial law.
