Product Information
This book is a defense of Tolkien's The Hobbit as not only a suitable adult fiction but as a masterpiece on par with The Lord of the Rings itself. The author makes a case for the reading of the book as an investigation of the role of Myth and Legend, as well as an indictment of the modern depictions of Faerie and the dangers of traveling in the Perilous Realms . For those who have never read the work, as well as those who dismiss it as a kids book (Tolkien would have had a serious issue with using that argument as a criticism) the author hopes to challenge you to re-read, reconsider, and re-evaluate what Tolkien wrote, what he intended, and how he hoped it would affect you. It is a book written from the viewpoint of a reader for readers, a companion in your journey more than an academic analysis, and its primary goal, as was so often the Professor's, is to provoke you to ask the important questions and to find your own answers.Product Identifiers
