The paperback edition of J.R.R. Tolkienâs final writings on the lands, inhabitants, and metaphysics of Middle-earth, perfect for those who have read and enjoyed The Silmarillion, The Lord of the Rings, Unfinished Tales, and The History of Middle-earth, and want to learn more about Tolkienâs magnificent world.
It is well known that J.R.R. Tolkien published The Hobbit in 1937 and The Lord of the Rings in 1954â5. What may be less known is that he continued to write about Middle-earth in the decades that followed, right up until the years before his death in 1973.
For him, Middle-earth was part of an entire world to be explored, and the writings in The Nature of Middle-earth reveal the journeys that he took as he sought to better understand his unique creation. This collection of Tolkien lore explores everything from sweeping themes as profound as Elvish immortality and reincarnation, and the Powers of the Valar, to the more earthbound subjects of the lands and beasts of NĂșmenor, the geography of the Rivers and Beacon-hills of Gondor, and even who had beards!
This new collectionâedited by Carl F. Hostetter, one of the worldâs leading Tolkien expertsâis a veritable treasure-trove for any devoted Tolkien fan, offering readers a chance to peer over Professor Tolkienâs shoulder at the very moment of discovery: and on every page, Middle-earth is once again brought to extraordinary life.
