Synopsis

A philologist of world renown, a professor at Oxford, and the author of academic treatises, J. R. R. Tolkien was far more than a fantasy book writer. His lifelong fascination with medieval texts and languages gave him a unique vision and endless inspiration for his tales. His broad interests made possible his creation of faery worlds and entire races of beings, as well as the languages, cultures, and characters that make his books as engaging today as they were fifty years ago. This clear and thoroughly researched biography of the creator of The Hobbit is accompanied by magical illustrations that recall the mystery of Tolkien’s imaginary worlds.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

“[Neimark’s] biography gives a straightforward introduction to the life of the man who created the world of The Hobbit.”— School Library Journal

 

 

“A biography of the author of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit that devotes equal time to all periods of his life. ...Fans will be heartened to see his life’s passion—inventing languages and words—succeed in the form of The Hobbit.  The Rings trilogy was rejected at first by publishers, so the story of its success is even more sweet.”—Kirkus

 

 

“For young readers lucky enough to be familiar with the print versions of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, this will bring the creator to vivid life .”—Booklist
