Description:

The Hobbits of Tolkien

An entire race was born when J.R.R. Tolkien scrawled on a leaf, 'In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.' From the invention of that single word, Tolkien became the explorer and chronicler of the character, their race, and their significant role in his fantastical world, Middle-earth.

The Dark Powers of Tolkien

J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and The Silmarillion are some of the greatest tales of good versus evil ever told. From the creation of Arda to the War of the Ring, Tolkien's Middle-earth has seen war and rebellion, devastation and loss, in which the powers of darkness emerged.

The Heroes of Tolkien

R.R. Tolkien's fictional world of Middle-earth is filled with great heroes who rose in the face of crisis to shape the course of that world's history. This volume examines the complexities surrounding Tolkien's portrayal of good and evil, analyzing the most celebrated heroes from the earliest days of Arda to the end of the War of the Ring.
