J.R.R. TOLKIEN: THE MAKING OF A LEGEND

Book ID/图书代码： 07925012B54943

English Summary/英文概要： Long before the successful The Lord of the Rings films, J.R. R. Tolkien’s creations, imagination, and characters had captured the attention of millions of readers. But who was the man who dreamt up the intricate languages and perfectly crafted world of Middle-earth?

Tolkien had a difficult life, for many years: orphaned and poor, his guardian forbad him to communicate with the woman he had fallen in love with, and he went through the horrors of the First World War. An intensely private and brilliant scholar, he spent over fifty years working on the languages, history, peoples and geography of Middle-earth, with a consistent mythology and body of legends inspired by a formidable knowledge of early northern European history and culture. J.R.R. Tolkien became a legend by creating an imaginary world that has enthralled and delighted generations. This delightful and accessible biography brings him to life.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 早在电影《魔戒》成功之前,J.R. R. Tolkien的作品,想象力,和人物已经吸引了数以百万计的读者注意。但又有谁能凭空想象出那么复杂的语言和完美的精心制作的中土大陆世界呢?

他有一个艰难的生活,多年来:孤儿和贫困,他的监护人禁止他与他爱上的女人联系,并且他经历了第一次世界战争的恐怖。一个极其私人的和卓越的学者,他花了50年的工作在语言、历史、民族和关于中土世界的地理,一个一致的神话和身体的传说的灵感来自早期北欧的历史和文化的强大知识。J.R.R. Tolkien通过创建一个令人愉快和高兴的虚构世界而成为了一个传奇。这种令人愉快的和容易理解的传记带他走进生活。(LNL)
