2008-07-07 16:00:00 I wonder if it’s being around my family where the women are Democrats, the men Republicans that has made me less inclined to write about politics. To be sure, when we do get together, there is often much political banter, though others might use a stronger word to describe our exchanges. Just over five years ...

J.R.R. Tolkien, The Timeless Writer
2008-03-06 19:33:00 John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (1892-1973) was born in Bloemfontein (South Africa). His parents were English. His mother decided to leave South Africa and move to England. Tolkien was 3 years old and his brother 2.They settled in Sarehole Mill, near Birminham. He won't never see his father again, because he died the year after his wife left South Africa.When Tolkien was twelve, his mother also died, and he and his brother became orphans, and went under the care of their aunt and the catholic priest Francis Xavier Morgan. Francis was of Spanish origin, and had always helped Tolkien's mother. She had converted to Catholicism. So Tolkien was educated in the Catholic faith.When Tolkien was 16 years old, he met Edith Mary Bratt. She was orphan too, and they fell in love. Father Francis didn't want that this relationship continued because he was afraid that Tolkien may not end his studies. So Tolkien awaited until he was 21 years old, and the evening of his birthday he wrote to Edith tellin...

The Silmarillion By J.R.R. Tolkien
2007-09-22 01:56:00 FOREWORDThe Silmarillion, now published four years after the death of its author, is an account of the Elder Days, or the First Age of the World. In The Lord of the Rings were narrated the great events at the end of the Third Age; but the tales of The Silmarillion are legends deriving from a much deeper past, when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middleearth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the recovery of the Silmarils.Not only, however, does The Silmarillion relate the events of a far earlier time than those of The Lord of the Rings; it is also, in all the essentials of its conception, far the earlier work. Indeed, although it was not then called The Silmarillion, it was already in being half a century ago; and in battered notebooks extending back to 1917 can still be read the earliest versions, often hastily pencilled, of the central stories of the mythology. But it was never published (though some indication of its content could be gleaned from The Lord of the Rin...
Did Tolkien Visit Middle Earth?
2007-09-21 17:43:00 Assumingly most have, at least heard the name, if not read, J. R. R. Tolkien?s book, The Hobbit. In his book, he speaks of a place, he calls, Middle-Earth.But new discovers may have actually found these very hobbits, or the evolutionary trail of their linage, of which he wrote.All this time, we merely thought his writings were of fantasy and fairy tale, but maybe Tolkien knew something the rest of us did not.

Gears of War's Locust Inspired by Tolkien
2007-09-13 00:02:00 It's usually fairly easy to the JRR Tolkein's influence on the average RPG, but CliffyB says his shooter Gears of War took inspiration from Lord of the Rings, as well.In an interview with CVG, Blezinski explains that the game's enemy, the Locust, have more than a little in common with LOTR's Uruk-hai:We wanted the Locust to be intelligent savages; they're like the Uruk-hai in LOTR, only with guns. The Uruk-hai would organise themselves, line up and then storm in - even though they look like horrible monsters. That's what the Locust essentially are: bipedal, thick-skinned, but also smart enough to build and use their own weaponry. They use tactics - they're not just running at you mindlessly.All we need now is a Hobbit mod. Source: CVG & Game|Life Online Games Gears of War Tolkien shooter LOTR Locust Xbox PC games

'New' Tolkien splendidly rewarding
2007-04-18 10:20:00 Six thousand years before the Fellowship of the Ring, long before anyone had even seen a Hobbit, the elves and men of Middle-earth quaked at the power of the dark lord Morgoth. Hunted by easterlings and orcs, they fled to the fastness of Nargothrond and to the deep forests of Brethil and Doriath. Among them, a hero emerged. Strong and courageous he was, but foolhardy and impetuous. His name was Turin, son of Hurin. His story, released today by Houghton Mifflin, is a publishing event: It is the first new book by the creator of "The Lord of the Rings" in 30 years. The publisher calls it the culmination of an effort to bring to the public the vast body of work J.R.R. Tolkien had left unpublished, and largely unfinished, when he died in 1973.

Nightly Ramble:Passport, Edwards (What else?) new Tolkien, captions, anger
2007-03-27 04:34:00 The Music: Passport, Looking Thru, 1974, (CD release, 1994. ) Hailing from Germany, they were Germany’s best progressive jazz group, back in the day. I have something of a personal history with this album, it got used quite a bit at a radio station that I worked at about the time it came out. If you like jazz rock fusion, with some early electronics thrown into the mix, along with some flat out fabulous playing, this is a good one to have. It’d be a great sample disk, as well, lots of interesting licks on it. Recommended. * I’ve been remarking for the last couple days, as regards John Edwards, And what I’d take to be a sympathy ploy. Whatever else you take from this post tonight, take this: the ploy is working. I doubt there was a talk show in the nation this morning, and during the day, that wasn’t at least mentioning them. Good lord, do you realize how much money it would cost any campaign to get that kind of buzz going? The don’t think...

ILUSTRADOR DE TOLKIEN
2007-02-15 23:26:03 Ted Nasmith teve de esperar quase 14 anos até concretizar o sonho de participa com as suas ilustrações nos calendários que celebram o engenho de J.R.R. Tolkien, autor de O Senhor dos Anéis. Sobre este conjunto de três livros ? A Irmandade do Anel, As Duas Torres e O Regresso do Rei ? um crítico inglês escreveu que, na literatura, existiam apenas dois tipos de pessoas: as que já tinham lido O Senhor dos Anéis e as que não. Os mais críticos da obra de Tolkien, contudo, afirmaram que o escritor é apenas um Shakespeare de terceira categoria. Passe o exagero, tanto nos elogios como nas críticas, a verdade é que a história do Anel tem servido de inspiração a dezenas de ilustradores ? Luís Royo, Boris Vallejo ou Rowena Morril. Escritores de FC mais fantasistas e menos tecnológicos também devem muito ao universo Tolkien: Ursula K. Le Guin, por exemplo, uma das minhas preferidas. Ted Nasmith seguiu assim as pisadas de dois grandiosos ilustradores de Tolkien, Alan Lee e John Howe, recrutado...

The Hobbit by John R.R. Tolkien
2007-02-13 14:54:10 The hobbit-hole in question belongs to one Bilbo Baggins, an upstanding member of a “little people, about half our height, and smaller than the bearded dwarves.” He is, like most of his kind, well off, well fed, and best pleased when sitting by his own fire with a pipe, a glass of good beer, and a meal to look forward to. Certainly this particular hobbit is the last person one would expect to see set off on a hazardous journey; indeed, when Gandalf the Grey stops by one morning, “looking for someone to share in an adventure,” Baggins fervently wishes the wizard elsewhere. No such luck, however; soon 13 fortune-seeking dwarves have arrived on the hobbit’s doorstep in search of a burglar, and before he can even grab his hat or an umbrella, Bilbo Baggins is swept out his door and into a dangerous adventure.

J.R.R.Tolkien Short Biography
2007-02-09 20:28:01 J.R.R. Tolkien I have not read very many fiction books, but once I started to read Lord of the Rings I was hooked and used to make it annual devotion to read it from start to finish. As well as writing Lord of the Rings, Tolkien also wrote a very detailed account of the early histories of Middle Earth, mostly contained in The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales. Suprisingly one of his primary motives in writing the Silmarillion and later the Lord of the Rings was to provide a backdrop for the languages he had created. For example, Quenya for the Elves (based on Finnish.) J.R.R. Tolkien seems to be have been kind, modest Oxford professor who became a little suprised at the huge interest his books developed. I don't think anybody has come close to matching his depth and scope of creative fiction. He didn't just write a novel; but created an almost entire universe with its own underlying moral and spiritual values. I have written a short biography of J.R.R.Tolkien at Biography Online
