Lord of the Rings
Author: Jane Chance
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 0813138019
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
" With New Line Cinema's production of The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, the popularity of the works of J.R.R. Tolkien is unparalleled. Tolkien's books continue to be bestsellers decades after their original publication. An epic in league with those of Spenser and Malory, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, begun during Hitler's rise to power, celebrates the insignificant individual as hero in the modern world. Jane Chance's critical appraisal of Tolkien's heroic masterwork is the first to explore its "mythology of power"--that is, how power, politics, and language interact. Chance looks beyond the fantastic, self-contained world of Middle-earth to the twentieth-century parallels presented in the trilogy.

The Rings of Power
Author: Nishita Jain
Publisher: Lulu Publishing Services
ISBN: 9781483423166
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
The Rebels are rising both in numbers and in power. Every single day, more and more magicians are turning to the Rebel cause. Yet, with the chaotic happenings in the Cities, there remains only one more beacon of hope: Princess Sajia. Judy Mason seems like just an average girl. She dislikes school and cannot understand why her younger sister loves it. The only place where Judy can find some solace is on the field playing soccer or in the gym lifting weights heavier than most would ever think she could. And she knew her life was going to have some ups and downs, but nothing too crazy or too unexpected. Everything was going to follow her usual average tendency. But Judy could never have even thought to anticipate that her life would change as drastically as it did on the first day of junior year - the day she was taken to her long-lost father and the truth finally came out after sixteen years.

The Lord of the Rings and Philosophy
Author: Gregory Bassham
Publisher: Open Court
ISBN: 0812698061
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
The Lord of the Rings is intended to be applicable to the real world of relationships, religion, pleasure, pain, and politics. Tolkien himself said that his grand tale of wizards, orcs, hobbits, and elves was aimed at truth and good morals in the actual world. Analysis of the popular appeal of The Lord of the Rings (on websites and elsewhere) shows that Tolkien fans are hungry for discussion of the urgent moral and cosmological issues arising out of this fantastic epic story. Can political power be wielded for good, or must it always corrupt? Does technology destroy the truly human? Is it morally wrong to give up hope? Can we find meaning in chance events? In The Lord of the Rings and Philosophy, seventeen young philosophy professors, all of them ardent Tolkien fans and most of them contributors to the four earlier volumes in the Popular Culture and Philosophy series, address some of these important issues and show how clues to their solutions may be found in the imaginary world of Middle-earth. The book is divided into five sections, concerned with Power and the Ring, the Quest for Happiness, Good and Evil in Middle-earth, Time and Mortality, and the Relevance

Sauron Defeated: The End Of The Third Age
Author: J.R.R. Tolkien
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0358726832
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 410
Book Description
The final part of The History of The Lord of the Rings, Sauron Defeated: The End Of The Third Age is J.R.R. Tolkien's enthralling account of the writing of the Book of the Century which contains many additional scenes and includes the unpublished Epilogue in its entirety. In the first section of Sauron Defeated Christopher Tolkien completes his fascinating study of The Lord of the Rings. Beginning with Sam’s rescue of Frodo from the Tower of Cirith Ungol, and giving a very different account of the Scouring of the Shire, this section ends with versions of the hitherto unpublished Epilogue, in which, years after the departure of Bilbo and Frodo from the Grey Havens, Sam attempts to answer his children’s questions. The second section is an edition of The Notion Club Papers. These mysterious papers, discovered in the early years of the twenty-first century, report the discussions of an Oxford club in the years 1986-7, in which after a number of topics, the centre of interest turns to the legend of Atlantis, the strange communications received by other members of the club from the past, and the violent irruption of the legend into the North-west of Europe.
