Una selección de los archivos de Tolkien de la Biblioteca Bodleian que explora muchas facetas de la vida y obra de J.R.R. Tolkien, desde su infancia en las Midlands inglesas y las experiencias en la Primera Guerra Mundial, hasta sus estudios en Birmingham y en la Universidad de Oxford.


Contiene las exquisitas ilustraciones que Tolkien realizó para El Silmarillion, El Hobbit y El Señor de los Anillos, así como los detallados mapas que creó para mostrar la topografía de la Tierra Media, el mundo que inventó, por lo que constituye una introducción perfecta a la imaginación creativa de Tolkien, a la vez que proporciona unas claves singulares para entender la vida de este extraordinario escritor, ilustrador y académico.

Very good: but it seems to me a kind of reduced version of "Tolkien: Maker of Middle-Earth " ( )
