The Worlds of J.R.R. Tolkien : The Places that Inspired Middle-earth
Garth, John
"Every page brings forth the elegiac tone of JRR Tolkien’s work... It is
a beautiful book, including many wonderful pictures by Tolkien
himself... Garth’s book made me realise the impact that Tolkien has had
on my life."The Times A lavishly illustrated exploration of the places
that inspired and shaped the work of J.R.R.
Tolkien, creator of
Middle-earth. This new book from renowned expert John Garth takes us to
the places that inspired J.R.R. Tolkien to create his fictional
locations in The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit and other classic works.
Featuring more than 100 images, it includes Tolkien’s own
illustrations, contributions from other artists, archive images, maps
and spectacular present-day photographs. Inspirational locations
range across Great Britain - particularly Tolkien’s beloved West
Midlands and Oxford - but also overseas to all points of the compass.
Sources are located for Hobbiton, the elven valley of Rivendell, the
Glittering Caves of Helm’s Deep, and many other key spots in
Middle-earth, as well as for its mountain scenery, forests, rivers,
lakes and shorelands.
A rich interplay is revealed between
Tolkien’s personal travels, his wide reading and his deep scholarship as
an Oxford professor. Garth uses his own profound knowledge of Tolkien’s
life and work to uncover the extraordinary processes of invention, to
debunk popular misconceptions about the inspirations for Middle-earth,
and to put forward strong new claims of his own. Organised by theme,
The Worlds of J.R.R.
Tolkien is an illustrated journey into the
life and imagination of one of the world’s best-loved authors, an
exploration of the relationship between worlds real and fantastical, and
an inspiration for anyone who wants to follow in Tolkien’s footsteps.
