Narn I Hin Hurin: Tale of the Children of Hurin

[Desi Baggins]

These last 3 parts of this story are the best! I can’t imagine the pain Nienor and Túrin went through. It is so sad that they found happiness with each other and never knew the truth until it was too late. I have heard many people say that this is one of their favorite tales, what do you think?

[Androga Erindalant]

It's my favourite tale too, first when I read the Silmarillion, and even more after reading the more extended version in UT. There's a lot of sorrow going on in that tale, and doom hangs over those few bits of happiness they had. Túrin deserves some pity, but, at the same time, he isn't that good either, by following his pride - which draws his own doom over him.
