THE NATURE OF MIDDLE-EARTH - JRR TOLKIEN KARTON...

First ever publication of J.R.R. Tolkien's final writings on Middle-earth  covering a wide
range of subjects and 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 Tolkien's magnificent world. It is well known that J.R.R. Tolkien published The Hobbit in
1937 and The Lord of the Rings in 1954-5. 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. From sweeping themes as complex and profound as the metaphysics of Elvish
immortality and reincarnation  and the Powers of the Valar  to the more earth-bound subjects of
the lands and beasts of Númenor  the geography of the Rivers and Beacon-hills of Gondor  and
even who had beards! This new collection  which has been edited by Carl F Hostetter  one of the
world's leading Tolkien experts  is a veritable treasure-trove offering readers a chance to
peer over Professor Tolkien's shoulder at the very moment of discovery: and on every page 
Middle-earth is once again brought to extraordinary life.
