Review: Book of J.R.R. Tolkien - I have always been a fan of Tolkien and with the whole Lord of the Rings world and adventures. Two thousand years from now, a new generation of humans will discover this book from the rubble of the old world order and will be the basis of their new faith. Great stories of an array of values and survivals. A lesson of the past and the existence of the unearthed extinct creatures and monsters. A lesson of friendship, valor, honor, and all the virtues and weakness of humans and of other beings. In other words, this is a very convincing book to be considered a non-fiction just like we do with other books of faith. I'm sure a lot of people disagrees with my thoughts, and that's fine, everyone is entitled to an opinion and so am I. For Tolkien fans, this is another of a collector's addition to an ever growing library of J.R.R. Tolkien creativity. Review: Achtung: Tolkien für Fortgeschrittene! - Nicht nur eine Sammlung von unveröffentlichten Geschichten: HISTORY OF MIDDLE-EARTH ist die Chronik einer jahrzehntelangen literarischen Sisyphos-Arbeit. Im Zentrum steht die Evolution der Themen und Geschichten durch viele verschiedene, z.T. widersprüchliche oder schwer zu entziffernde Texte und Textfragmente. Wer sich darauf einlässt, wird mit einem tiefgehenden Verständnis für Tolkiens Lebenswerk belohnt. Anspruchsvolle Lektüre, ungeeignet für Leser, die nur neue Geschichten aus dem HdR-Universum suchen.
