J.R.R. Tolkien

Architect of Middle Earth

Edición de la obra J.R.R. Tolkien

Surprisingly little is known about the personal life of the creator of Middle Earth. This man, who was embarrassed by success, lived most of his life as an Oxford scholar in the surrounds of a cloistered academic community. As a child in South Africa, Tolkien was kidnapped by a native and taken into the bush. As a youngster in the industrial city of Birmingham, England, Tolkien was raised by a Catholic priest. And as a young adult, Tolkien lived through the bloody horror of the trenches of World War I. How these experiences shaped his incredible imagination is just one of the areas that Daniel Grotta tries to uncover. - Back cover.
