About the Author
J.R.R. Tolkien, born on January 3, 1892, in Bloemfontein, South Africa, is one of the most influential writers of the 20th century, best known for his epic fantasy works. Tolkien's most famous books, The Hobbit (1937) and The Lord of the Rings trilogy (1954-1955), have become cornerstones of the fantasy genre. His works are set in the fictional world of Middle-earth, filled with complex languages, mythologies, and cultures, which he meticulously crafted over many years.
Tolkien’s academic background as a philologist deeply influenced his writing, particularly his creation of the Elvish languages and the intricate histories that form the backbone of his novels. While working as a professor at the University of Oxford, he began developing the vast world of Middle-earth, drawing inspiration from European mythology and medieval literature.
His writings have not only shaped modern fantasy literature but have also inspired countless adaptations, including film series, video games, and board games. Tolkien’s influence extends far beyond books, cementing his legacy as the father of modern fantasy. His works are celebrated for their depth, moral complexity, and exploration of themes such as heroism, friendship, and the struggle between good and evil. J.R.R. Tolkien passed away on September 2, 1973, leaving behind a literary legacy that continues to captivate readers worldwide.
