Lightning from a Clear Sky: Tolkien, the Trilogy and the Silmarillon (The Milford series)

Richard Mathews

4.9/5 (26119 ratings)

Description:When The Fellowship of the Rings first appeared in 1954, C.S. Lewis exclaimed: "It's like lightning from a clear sky!" The book was not an immediate success, not did its author expect it to be. John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (1892-1973) was a retiring Oxford professor who wrote his fantasies to entertain himself, his family, and his friends, and who really was not interested in bestseller status, or the fame of his own work. The publication of the first part of the Trilogy was followed by its sequels (actually parts of a single unified whole), The Two Towers (1954) and The Return of the King (1955), all of which were later combined in one volume as The Lord of the Rings. The books did moderately well until issued in paperback form (1965), when they suddenly became cult items for the college youth of the Sixties, and began selling millions instead of thousands. Richard Mathews examines the entire span of Tolkien's fiction, from his early prequel, The Hobbit (1937), to the last posthumous culmination of his work, The Silmarillion (1977), collected and edited by Christopher Tolkien from his father's papers.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
