Sinossi
Primo studio critico in assoluto del saggio poco noto di Tolkien, che rivela come l'invenzione linguistica abbia plasmato la creazione della Terra di Mezzo e oltre, fino a Game of Thrones di George RR Martin. L'invenzione linguistica di JRR Tolkien è stata una parte fondamentale della sua produzione artistica, al punto che più avanti nella vita attribuì l'esistenza della sua mitologia al desiderio di dare alle sue lingue una casa e a popoli che le parlassero. Come afferma Tolkien in "A Secret Vice", "la creazione del linguaggio e la mitologia sono funzioni correlate". Negli anni '30, Tolkien compose e tenne due lezioni, in cui esplorò questi due elementi chiave della sua metodologia sub-creativa. La seconda di queste, la fondamentale Andrew Lang Lecture del 1938-9, "On Fairy-Stories", che tenne all'Università di St Andrews in Scozia, è ben nota. Ma molti anni prima, nel 1931, Tolkien tenne una conferenza a una società letteraria intitolata "Un hobby per la casa", dove svelò per la prima volta a un pubblico di ascoltatori l'arte che lui stesso aveva incontrato e in cui era stato coinvolto fin dalla sua prima infanzia: "la costruzione di linguaggi immaginari in forma completa o schematica per divertimento". Questa conferenza sarebbe stata curata da Christopher Tolkien per essere inclusa come "Un vizio segreto" in The Monsters and the Critics and Other Essays e funge da principale esposizione dell'arte di Tolkien di inventare linguaggi. Questa nuova edizione critica, che include appunti e bozze inedite di Tolkien collegate al saggio, tra cui il suo "Saggio sul simbolismo fonetico", contribuisce in qualche modo a riaprire il dibattito sull'importanza dell'invenzione linguistica nella mitologia di Tolkien e sul ruolo dei linguaggi immaginari nella letteratura fantasy. Il libro di JRR Tolkien "La caduta di Númenor" è stato un bestseller del Sunday Times nella settimana del 07-11-2022.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - First ever critical study of Tolkien's little-known essay, which reveals how language invention shaped the creation of Middle-earth and beyond, to George R R Martin's Game of Thrones. J.R.R. Tolkien's linguistic invention was a fundamental part of his artistic output, to the extent that later on in life he attributed the existence of his mythology to the desire to give his languages a home and peoples to speak them. As Tolkien puts it in 'A Secret Vice', 'the making of language and mythology are related functions'. In the 1930s, Tolkien composed and delivered two lectures, in which he explored these two key elements of his sub-creative methodology. The second of these, the seminal Andrew Lang Lecture for 1938-9, 'On Fairy-Stories', which he delivered at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, is well known. But many years before, in 1931, Tolkien gave a talk to a literary society entitled 'A Hobby for the Home', where he unveiled for the first time to a listening public the art that he had both himself encountered and been involved with since his earliest childhood: 'the construction of imaginary languages in full or outline for amusement'. This talk would be edited by Christopher Tolkien for inclusion as 'A Secret Vice' in The Monsters and the Critics and Other Essays and serves as the principal exposition of Tolkien's art of inventing languages. This new critical edition, which includes previously unpublished notes and drafts by Tolkien connected with the essay, including his 'Essay on Phonetic Symbolism', goes some way towards re-opening the debate on the importance of linguistic invention in Tolkien's mythology and the role of imaginary languages in fantasy literature. 224 pp. Englisch.
