Производитель: "I. B. Tauris" `Even the smallest person can change the course of the future`. The prophetic words of Galadriel, addressed to Frodo as he prepared to travel from Lothlorien to Mordor to destroy the One Ring, are just as pertinent to J R R Tolkien`s 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 Jackson`s films: first The Lord of the Rings, and now his new The Hobbit. But for all Tolkien`s global fame and the familiarity of modern culture with Gandalf, Bilbo, Frodo and Sam, the sources of the great mythmaker`s own myth-making have been neglected. Mark Atherton here explores the chief influences on Tolkien`s 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 Tolkien`s life and work, and sheds new light on how a legend is born. Издательство: "I. B. Tauris" (2012)
