Viac o knihe

Exploring the interplay of power, politics, and language, this critical appraisal delves into the themes of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic trilogy, which celebrates the ordinary individual as a hero. Jane Chance examines the work's "mythology of power," connecting its fantastical elements to real-world twentieth-century contexts, particularly during the rise of Hitler. This analysis offers a fresh perspective on Tolkien's enduring legacy and the relevance of his narratives in contemporary discussions of heroism and societal challenges.
