Professor Tom Shippey, one of the most respected Tolkienists of our time, offers a fascinating study of the work of J. R. R. Tolkien. He argues why Tolkien, despite the "frivolity" of the fantasy genre, can claim the title of "author of the century"; discusses the secret of his powerful influence on literature, what served as a source of inspiration for the Professor and what task he solved with his texts, explains what the “literary function” of the hobbits is and where the line lies between myth and reality, ancient texts and modern life; and also quite unusually interprets the connection of Tolkien's world with Christianity. The book promises an intellectual adventure, plunging into philological, linguistic, historical contexts, while being written for the general reader.
