There's an issue with the French translations of Unfinished Tales of Nùmenor and Middle-Earth by J.R.R. Tolkien.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... is not a translation of The Book of Lost Tales, Part One but of the first part of Unfinished Tales. Likewise, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... is a translation of the second part of Unfinished Tales, and not of The Book of Lost Tales, Part Two. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... is not an isolated book, but the last part of Unfinished Tales.
The problem probably comes from the fact that the original is in one volume, and the translation in three.
Also, there is a 2004 edition of https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1.... It's essentially the same book, with a different cover : http://www.pungerer.net/pfx/SWP/LOTR-....
Thanks for your help.
