LETTERS OF JRR TOLKIEN

La correspondance d'une vie de l'auteur de Lord of The Rings, pour mieux comprendre son œuvre et découvrir l'homme derrière la plume.

Collected and edited by Tolkien's official biographer, Humphrey Carpenter, and assisted by Christopher Tolkien, first published in 1981.

J.R.R. Tolkien, creator of the languages and history of Middle-earth as recorded in The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion, was one of the most prolific letter-writers of this century.

Over the years he wrote a mass of letters which often reveal the inner workings of his mind, and which record the history of composition of his works and his reaction to subsequent events. It presented, in Tolkien's own words, a highly detailed portrait of the man in his many aspects: storyteller, scholar, Catholic, parent, friend, and observer of the world around him.

In addition, this new selection will entertain anyone who appreciates the art of letter-writing, of which J.R.R. Tolkien was a master.
