Shop / the lord of the rings book
This richly illustrated book, originally published in 2013, is perhaps the most in-depth exploration ever undertaken of Tolkien's world. Accessible yet authoritative, it is now being reissued with a stunning new cover treatment and updated commentary on new books, films, games, and shows. Snyder examines the impact of Tolkien's works on our modern culture, from 1960s counterculture to fantasy publishing, gaming, music, and beyond.
The volume was the first to connect all the threads of influence on Tolkien that infused his creation of Middle-earth—from the languages, poetry, and mythology of medieval Europe and ancient Greece and Rome to the halls of Oxford and the battlefields of World War I. Fully illustrated with photographs and artwork, this book offers an authoritative and accessible exploration of Tolkien's legendary world.
The reissue features a gorgeous, updated cover design with a custom illustration on foil-stamped faux cloth, as well as additional pages of material covering new developments in the Tolkien universe. This comprehensive and captivating work is a must-read for any fan of Tolkien's timeless creations, providing a deeper understanding of the rich tapestry of influences that shaped the beloved fantasy realm of Middle-earth.
