J.R.R. Tolkien: author of the century. A philological journey to Middle-earth
39.99 €
Professor Tom Shippey, one of the most respected Tolkienists of our time, offers a fascinating study of the work of J. R. R. Tol-kin. He argues why Tolkien, despite the "non-seriousness" of the genre of fanzines can claim the title of "author of the century"; discusses what is 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 is the "literary function" of hobbits and where the line between myth and reality, ancient texts and modern life; and also quite unusually interprets the relationship between Tolkien's world and Christianity. The book promises an intellectual adventure, delving into philological, linguistic, and historical contexts, while being written for the general reader.
