Tolkien was born in British-occupied South Africa. His early life was full of action and adventure. Tolkien spent his childhood roaming the British countryside with his family and could read and write by age four. He was naturally gifted with languages and used this skill as a signals officer in World War I as well as in his fantasy writing. By creating alternate universes and inventing languages in his work he demonstrated that imaginary realms were not just for children. Fondly remembered as the “Father of High Fantasy,” Tolkien’s books have inspired blockbuster movies and legions of fans.","brand":"Penguin Workshop","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":34471311900833,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9780448483023","price":42.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/who-was-j_-r_-r_-tolkien-1.webp?v=1735506114"},{"product_id":"the-lord-of-the-rings-the-hobbit-boxed-set-4-books","title":"Lord of the Rings, The \u0026 The Hobbit Boxed Set (4 Books) (J.

Tolkien’s wartime experiences and their impact on his life and his writing of The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“To be caught in youth by 1914 was no less hideous an experience than in 1939 … by 1918 all but one of my close friends were dead.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo J.R.R. Tolkien responded to critics who saw The Lord of the Rings as a reaction to the Second World War. Tolkien and the Great War tells for the first time the full story of how he embarked on the creation of Middle-earth in his youth as the world around him was plunged into catastrophe. This biography reveals the horror and heroism that he experienced as a signals officer in the Battle of the Somme and introduces the circle of friends who spurred his mythology to life. It shows how, after two of these brilliant young men were killed, Tolkien pursued the dream they had all shared by launching his epic of good and evil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Garth argues that the foundation of tragic experience in the First World War is the key to Middle-earth’s enduring power. Tolkien used his mythic imagination not to escape from reality but to reflect and transform the cataclysm of his generation. While his contemporaries surrendered to disillusionment, he kept enchantment alive, reshaping an entire literary tradition into a form that resonates to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the first substantially new biography of Tolkien since 1977, meticulously researched and distilled from his personal wartime papers and a multitude of other sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Harpercollins (UK)","offers":[{"title":"平裝書 Paperback","offer_id":40065894023329,"sku":"DTRHCUK-9780007119530","price":69.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/TolkienandtheGreatWar-TheThresholdofMiddle-earth_Paperback_2.jpg?v=1734506615"},{"product_id":"the-fall-of-gondolin-paperback","title":"Fall of Gondolin, The (Paperback) (J.

There is Morgoth of the uttermost evil, unseen in this story but ruling over a vast military power from his fortress of Angband. Deeply opposed to Morgoth is Ulmo, second in might only to Manwë, chief of the Valar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCentral to this enmity of the gods is the city of Gondolin, beautiful but undiscoverable. It was built and peopled by Noldorin Elves who, when they dwelt in Valinor, the land of the gods, rebelled against their rule and fled to Middle-earth. Turgon King of Gondolin is hated and feared above all his enemies by Morgoth, who seeks in vain to discover the marvellously hidden city, while the gods in Valinor in heated debate largely refuse to intervene in support of Ulmo's desires and designs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInto this world comes Tuor, cousin of Túrin, the instrument of Ulmo's designs. Guided unseen by him Tuor sets out from the land of his birth on the fearful journey to Gondolin, and in one of the most arresting moments in the history of Middle-earth the sea-god himself appears to him, rising out of the ocean in the midst of a storm. In Gondolin he becomes great; he is wedded to Idril, Turgon's daughter, and their son is Eärendel, whose birth and profound importance in days to come is foreseen by Ulmo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt last comes the terrible ending. Morgoth learns through an act of supreme treachery all that he needs to mount a devastating attack on the city, with Balrogs and dragons and numberless Orcs. After a minutely observed account of the fall of Gondolin, the tale ends with the escape of Tuor and Idril, with the child Eärendel, looking back from a cleft in the mountains as they flee southward, at the blazing wreckage of their city. They were journeying into a new story, the Tale of Eärendel, which Tolkien never wrote, but which is sketched out in this book from other sources.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing his presentation of Beren and Lúthien Christopher Tolkien has used the same 'history in sequence' mode in the writing of this edition of The Fall of Gondolin. In the words of J.R.R. Tolkien, it was ‘the first real story of this imaginary world’ and, together with Beren and Lúthien and The Children of Húrin, he regarded it as one of the three 'Great Tales' of the Elder Days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Harpercollins (UK)","offers":[{"title":"平裝書 Paperback","offer_id":40336536010913,"sku":"DTRHCUK-9780008302801","price":79.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/TheFallofGondolin_Paperback.jpg?v=1734518261"},{"product_id":"the-hobbit-hardback","title":"Hobbit, The (Illustrated Edition) (Hardback) (J.

Tolkien. Returning from France and the battle of the Somme at the end of 1916, he wrote the tale in the following year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEssential to the story, and never changed, is the fate that shadowed the love of Beren and Lúthien: for Beren was a mortal man, but Lúthien was an immortal Elf. Her father, a great Elvish lord, in deep opposition to Beren, imposed on him an impossible task that he must perform before he might wed Lúthien. This is the kernel of the legend; and it leads to the supremely heroic attempt of Beren and Lúthien together to rob the greatest of all evil beings, Melkor, called Morgoth, the Black Enemy, of a Silmaril.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this book Christopher Tolkien has attempted to extract the story of Beren and Lúthien from the comprehensive work in which it was embedded; but that story was itself changing as it developed new associations within the larger history. To show something of the process whereby this legend of Middle-earth evolved over the years, he has told the story in his father's own words by giving, first, its original form, and then passages in prose and verse from later texts that illustrate the narrative as it changed. Presented together for the first time, they reveal aspects of the story, both in event and in narrative immediacy, that were afterwards lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Harpercollins (UK)","offers":[{"title":"平裝書 Paperback","offer_id":42851553312995,"sku":"DTRHCUK-9780008503963","price":64.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/BerenandLuthien_Paperback_J.R.R.Tolkien.jpg?v=1734585329"},{"product_id":"little-people-big-dreams-j-r-r-tolkien","title":"J.

Tolkien’s mental pictures often found expression in drawing, from rough sketches made within the manuscript to more finished illustrations. Only a few of these were meant for publication; most were aids to help Tolkien conceive his complex story and keep it consistent. Many do not illustrate the final text, but represent moments of creation, illuminating Tolkien’s process of writing and design. In addition to pictorial sketches, numerous maps follow the development of the Shire and the larger landscape of Middle-earth, while inscriptions in runes and Elvish script, and ‘facsimile’ leaves from the burned and blood-stained Book of Mazarbul, support Tolkien’s pose as an ‘editor’ or ‘translator’ of ancient records.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Art of The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R.

Tolkien aspired to be a poet in the first instance, and poetry was part of his creative life no less than his prose, his languages, and his art.

Within his larger works of fiction, poems help to establish character and place as well as further the story; as individual works, they delight with words and rhyme.

They convey his humor and his sense of wonder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe earliest work in this collection, written for his beloved, is dated to 1910, when Tolkien was eighteen. More poems would follow during his years at Oxford, some of them very elaborate and eccentric. Those he composed during the First World War, in which he served in France, tend to be concerned not with trenches and battle, but with life, loss, faith, and friendship, his longing for England and the wife he left behind. Beginning in 1914, elements of his \u003cem\u003elegendarium\u003c\/em\u003e, “The Silmarillion,” began to appear, and the “Matter of Middle-earth” would inspire much of Tolkien’s verse for the rest of his life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Collected Poems of J.R.R.

Though he often remarked that he had no talent for drawing, his art has charmed his readers and has been exhibited to large and appreciative audiences the world over.

Tolkien, focusing in particular on The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion.\u003cbr\u003e   The core of the book examines The Lord of the Rings as a linguistic and cultural map and as a response to the meaning of myth. It presents a unique argument to explain the nature of evil and also gives the reader a compelling insight into the unparalleled level of skill necessary to construct such a rich and complex story. Shippey also examines The Hobbit, explaining the hobbits' anachronistic relationship to the heroic world of Middle-earth, and shows the fundamental importance of The Silmarillion to the canon of Tolkien's work. He offers as well an illuminating look at other, lesser-known works in their connection to Tolkien's life.","brand":"William Morrow","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":47211186127075,"sku":"DTRHCUS-9780618257591","price":143.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9780618257591.jpg?v=1762166197"},{"product_id":"9780358652984","title":"The Letters of J.R.R.

From these lectures there arises a sense of the immediacy and clarity of his vision.
