The Complete Guide to Middle-earth - The Definitive Guide to the World of J.R.R. Tolkien

Informationen zum Autor Robert Foster was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1949. As a teenager, he discovered The Lord of the Rings in his public library, and was an original member of the Tolkien Society of America. Foster's interest in etymology led him to compile a glossary of every name, place, object and event that appears in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings , which in 1966 appeared in the Tolkien fanzine, Niekas . Ted Nasmith is a freelance illustrator living just outside Toronto, Canada, with his wife Donna and three children. The works of Tolkien have had a profound effect on him and he has enjoyed the challenge of interpreting the characters and world of Tolkien for over twenty years. He has produced several Tolkien Calendars and recently illustrated ‘The Silmarillion’. Klappentext A peerless A-Z guide to the names, places and events in the world of J.R.R.

Report

'Middle-earth is the country of J.R.R. Tolkien's tales - the territory of Sauron, Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf and Sam Gamgee - whose legends, history, geography and inhabitants combine to make a unique fictional world. This Guide is a comprehensive reference work to every name and event in Tolkien's books, from The Hobbit to The Silmarillion.'
Daily Telegraph
'Mr Robert Foster's Complete Guide to Middle-earth supplies, as I have found through frequent use, an admirable work of reference.'
CHRISTOPHER TOLKIEN
