4.9/5 (33580 ratings)

Description:OCyEven the smallest person can change the course of the future.OCO The prophetic words of Galadriel, addressed to Frodo as he prepared to travel from Lothlrien to Mordor to destroy the One Ring, are just as pertinent to J R R TolkienOCOs own fiction. For decades, hobbits and the other fantastical creatures of Middle-earth have captured the imaginations of a fiercely loyal tribe of readers, all enhanced by the immense success of Peter JacksonOCOs films: first OCyThe Lord of the RingsOCO, and now his new OCyThe HobbitOCO. But for all TolkienOCOs global fame and the familiarity of modern culture with Gandalf, Bilbo, Frodo and Sam, the sources of the great mythmakerOCOs own myth-making have been neglected. Mark Atherton here explores the chief influences on TolkienOCOs work: his boyhood in the West Midlands; the landscapes and seascapes which shaped his mythologies; his experiences in World War I; his interest in Scandinavian myth; his friendships, especially with the other Oxford-based Inklings; and the relevance of his themes, especially ecological themes, to the present-day. There and Back Again offers a unique guide to the varied inspirations behind TolkienOCOs life and work, and sheds new light on how a legend is born."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
