Book Description

New York, New York, U.S.A.: Spark Pub Group, 2003. First Edition. Hard Cover. New/No Jacket. This book features full-length coverage of The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. This lively guide explores the life of J.R.R. Tolkien and the historial and literary movements that influenced him. It provides an intimate look at Tolkien, from his love of pipe-smoking, to his distinguished academic career, to his experiences in combat. With detailed analysis of his astonishing novels, it explains why he provoked such mixed reactions from distinguished readers, one of whom called The Lord of the Rings "inflated, over-written, tendentious, and moralistic in the extreme," and one of whom likened him to Shakespeare. This guide shows why Tolkien, one of literature's most influential and controversial fantasy writers, inspires such passion in his readers. 207 pages, including suggestions for further reading and an index. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
