The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings: Boxed Set

Product Information

The uncomfortable sexuality is an attempt to repair the fact that Tolkien wrote a romance where the two lovers are thousands of miles apart for most of the story. Our team is made up of book lovers who are dedicated to sourcing and providing the best books for kids. Ebooks fulfilled through Glose cannot be printed, downloaded as PDF, or read in other digital readers (like Kindle or Nook). Contrarily, those who have followed in his footsteps since have tended to be inspired by a desire to imitate him.

This epic tale of heroism, sacrifice, and the battle between good and evil was as relevant today as it was when first published. Tolkien (1892-1973) was a distinguished academic, though he is best known for writing The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion and The Children of Hurin, plus other stories and essays. I mean he literally went back and changed the Hobbit so as to match up with what he had planned for Lord of the Rings.Tolkien’s intricate world-building and the sheer depth of his storytelling skills were awe-inspiring, making Middle-earth feel like a living, breathing realm. Treasured by readers young and old, these works of sweeping fantasy, steeped in unrivalled magic and other-worldliness have sold more than 150 million copies around the world. We work closely with publishers and authors to ensure that we offer the best books on the market for your child.

But underneath all of that, Tolkien does have an appealing and exciting story to tell, of war and succession and moral struggles--the same sort of story that has been found in our myths since the very earliest writings of man.His writing was chiefly influenced by his familiarity with the mythological traditions of the Norse and Welsh cultures. Frodo's end is a bit sad in that light, I believe we can fulfill our missions and yet still enjoy the fruits.

Housing the complete saga of The Lord of the Rings in one unique volume, this sumptuous hardback edition of Tolkien’s iconic masterpiece features, for the very first time, thirty glorious colour illustrations, sketches and maps produced by the author himself. Whether revisiting these beloved tales or encountering them for the first time, readers are guaranteed an unforgettable journey through the realms of Middle-earth. Tolkien's writings on the Second Age of Middle-earth into an exquisitely bound luxury slipcase edition, The Fall of Númenor is an immersive dive into the boundless imagination of one of fantasy fiction's pioneering spirits.Then throw in lots of adventures, battles, magic, love, death, humor, loyalty, friendship, tears and fear. Although LoftR is a "pagan" story (no religion) it is filled with Christian themes of mercy, free will, divine mission, and hope, individual worth, and salvation. Before the movies had been released, LOTR/H used to be our own secret garden where we could have escaped any time we liked, but now oue own images have been replaced or landscaped by Peter Jackson.

All of our books are 100% brand new, unread and purchased directly from the publishers in bulk allowing us to pass the huge savings on to you! There was a tradition of high adventure fairy tales, as represented by Eddison, Dunsany, Morris, MacDonald, Haggard, and Kipling, but this was only part of what inspired Tolkien. Reading The Lord of the Rings was a really different experience from The Hobbit not only because it's got a more epic scope and deals with more POV characters, but also because I felt like it introduced me to "Mr Tolkien".Tolkien would be one of those guys who, if I could invite any 3 people to have dinner with, would get a seat at the table. Tolkien’s Middle-earth contains a rich assortment of people, cities, powers, and creatures—as well as a deep, intertwined history that spans thousands of years. The dullards of fantasy have merely rehashed and reshuffled the old tropes back and forth, imagining that they are creating something.
