I never thought that I would get interested in reading biographies. But of late I find that I am beginning to get more and more curious about the person behind the well loved story. This was an lite and quick read. Just the simple narration of the story of his life. A sort of an introduction to the person behind the Hobbit :) ( ) Az életrajz igen rövid (kb. 100 oldal), így nem lehet túlzottan alapos. Tolkien életének főbb állomásait mutatja be, érthető módon azokra az eseményekre összpontosítva, melyek később befolyásolták az írásait. Tolkien főbb regényeinek keletkezéséről is viszonylag részletesebben ír. Önmagában egy ilyen rövid életrajzot önálló könyvként kiadni szerintem eléggé felesleges, a Gyűrűk Ura melléklete kellene inkább, hogy legyen. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was Professor of Anglo-Saxon (Old English) at the University of Oxford. His research on Beowulf is still considered a standard in the field. Tolkien, however, unlike most Oxford dons, stepped out of his role as professor to create popular literature. Tolkien's best-known writings were The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, in which he created a fully realized world known as Middle-earth, vaguely identifiable as Northern Europe in a pre-history that never was. To bring his world to life, he produced detailed geography and cartography as well as a legendary background. He peopled the world with diverse types of inhabitants and created spoken and written languages for them. By doing this, he essentially created modern fantasy literature and a standard for subsequent writers to chase and miss. A British poll at the end of the twentieth century named The Lord of the Rings the most important English-language work of that century. During his lifetime, Tolkien did not appreciate people focusing on him rather than on his writings. He felt that his writings were more worthy of attention. With apologies to the late gentleman, he is now due some notice. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
