Articoli correlati a Tolkien: A Biography
This biography recounts Tolkien's his early childhood in South Africa followed by his family's return to England after his banker father's death. The Tolkiens settled in the highly industrialised city of Birmingham in the 1890s which was still surrounded by breathtaking countryside. Thus the industrialised heart of the Empire and the sylvan idyll of the woods and hills became important extremes for much of Tolkien's thinking and writing, leading up to that most inspired moment when, as an Oxford don Tolkien was marking exam papers and noticing his student had left a blank page in the answer book. Suddenly he wrote: 'In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit.' In typical Tolkien fashion, he was intrigued by this and decided to find out more about hobbits. The rest is history.

Recensione:
White's Tolkein is a quick, vivcaious gifure, laughter-loving and prey to the most petty of human foibles... [an] engaging biography. (INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY)
Descrizione del libro:
* The first general interest Tolkien biography to appear since Humphrey Carpenter's biography was published in 1975.
* White's book will be aimed at the average fan, and is very timely with three upcoming Tolkien films - the first scheduled to be released in December 2001.
