Go on an interesting journey in the course of the history of Middle-earth!

The Lord of the Rings is often thought to be a work of fantasy. Yet Tolkien himself saw his work as a body of myth with an inherent veracity at its core, not an invention, but a recovered truth. Within the Middle-earth of The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien created not an imaginary world, but an imaginary history of our own world.

THE WORLD OF TOLKIEN draws out the analogies within The Lord of the Rings that render this epic a timeless mythology for the brand new age. Here is essentially the most comprehensive guide to uncovering the “real-world” inspiration at the back of the gods and demigods, races of guys, elves and dwarves, wizards and hobbits, creatures and monsters, cities, geography, battles, and major events Within the history of Middle-earth. Crucial reading for Tolkien enthusiasts of all generations.

Stunningly illustrated with 65 color and 35 black and white illustrations.
