The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings: Boxed Set

Product Information

Yet unlike Satan, we do not get an explanation of what makes Strider superior, worthy, or--more importantly--righteous. Our brands of Christianity differ a bit, Tolkien's and mine, and I also found it a good study to see the sameness and differences. His illuminating lectures on works such as the Old English epic poem, Beowulf, illustrate his deep knowledge of ancient languages and at the same time provide new insights into peoples and legends from a remote past. Tolkien, this epic collection instantly became a treasure trove of adventure, magic, and profound wisdom.

A must-have guide to the Tolkien world, this collection provides an A-to-Z dictionary of the vernacular, an atlas describing the various terra firma, histories of battles, dark powers, heroes, the ring legends and the Hobbits that started it all. Tolkien's writings on the Second Age of Middle-earth into an exquisitely bound luxury slipcase edition, The Fall of Númenor is an immersive dive into the boundless imagination of one of fantasy fiction's pioneering spirits. He was very aware of this part of his personality and so added a certain aspect to deal with any possible plot-holes (like he perfectionist he was).Middle-earth will forever hold a special place in my heart, and I eagerly look forward to revisiting its wonders time and time again.

Frodo's end is a bit sad in that light, I believe we can fulfill our missions and yet still enjoy the fruits. I love getting to know an author that way and being able to see little bits of their personality come out in their works (like the fact that Tolkien loved smoking a pipe--does all the pipe smoking in the book make more sense now? Treasured by readers young and old, these works of sweeping fantasy, steeped in unrivalled magic and other-worldliness have sold more than 150 million copies around the world. They are illustrated throughout by Alan Lee, the lead concept artist for Peter Jackson's Oscar-winning film adaptation. And in this, Tolkien's attempt to recreate the form of the Eddas is completely at odds with the Christian, romantic moral content with which he fills the story.He graduated from the University of Oxford in 1915 and saw active service in France during the First World War before being invalided home. Son libros pequeños, de bolsillo básicamente, útiles para llevarlos cargando a todos lados, solamente con uno de ellos tuve un problema de que al estarlo leyendo se le zafó la cubierta y tuve que arreglarlo, pero de ahí en más no tuve ningún problema con ellos. The book did have very minor little scratches but I don't really care abt that, I feel like it adds to them.
