Sparknotes J.R.R. Tolkien
by Stanley P. Baldwin
The Lord of the Rings
by Jude Fisher
This is a full-color, large-format introduction to the people, places, and things of J.R.R. Tolkien's extraordinarily varied and rich imaginary world, Middle-earth, as depicted in the first of three blockbuster films from New Line Cinema, THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING. Middle-earth is populated by hobbits, elves, men, and dwarves as well as a host of creatures such as trolls, ocrcs, balrogs, and ringwraiths--each with distinctive culture, history, and physical characteristics. The unforgettable locations of THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING include the village of Hobbiton, the ancient ruin of Amon Sûl, the elven strongholds of Rivendell and Lothlórien, and Khazad-dûm. All come to life for new fans and old in this essential collectible reference.
The Letters of J. R. R. Tolkien
by Humphrey Carpenter
'...If you wanted to go on from the end of The Hobbit I think the ring would be your inevitable choice as the link. If then you wanted a large tale, the Ring would at once acquire a capital letter; and the Dark Lord would immediately appear. As he did, unasked, on the hearth at Bag End as soon as I came to that point. So the essential Quest started at once. But I met a lot of things along the way that astonished me. Tom Bombadil I knew already; but I had never been to Bree. Strider sitting in the corner of the inn was a shock, and I had no more idea who he was than Frodo did. The Mines of Moria had been a mere name; and of Lothlorien no word had reached my mortal ears till I came there.' -- J.R.R. Tolkien to W.H. Auden, June 7, 1955 J.R.R. Tolkien, cherished author of The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion, was one of the twentieth century's most prolific letter writers. Over the years he wrote a mass of letters -- to his publishers, his family, to friends, and to fans of his books -- which record the history and composition of his works and his reaction to subsequent events. By turns thoughtful, impish, scholarly, impassioned, playful, vigorous, and gentle, Tolkien poured his heart and mind into a great stream of correspondence to intimate friends and unknown admirers all over the world. From this collection one sees a mind of immense complexity and many layers -- artistic, religious, charmingly eccentric, sentimental, and ultimately brilliant. Now newly expanded with a detailed index, this collection provides an invaluable record that sheds much light on Tolkien's creative genius, his thoughts and feelings about his own work, and the evolution of his grand design for the creation of a whole new world -- Middle-earth.
