Description: J.R.R. Tolkien. TOLKIEN'S WORLD: PAINTINGS OF MIDDLE-EARTH. London: HarperCollins Publishers, 1992. Brand new hardcover, 11½” x 9”, unpaginated [but 144 pages], in brand new dj conserved in an archival quality clear protective cover. Signed by Michael Hague, one of the featured artists, on a card affixed to the title page; 7 of his delightful paintings were chosen for this book. Classics scholar Dr. Verlyn Flieger recently wrote: “Tolkien did not transform modern fantasy. He invented it.” She continued: “The appearance of The Lord of the Rings was a seismic event in popular culture.... Readers were introduced to a world they had always wanted but never dreamed they could have.” J.R.R. Tolkien's tales have influenced the creative energy of such diverse headliners as Ursula Le Guin and Led Zeppelin. Thus, it is no surprise that Tolkien's Middle-earth became an inspiration for generations of visual artists. First published in 1992 to honor the centenary of his birth, this beautiful volume includes paintings (60 in all) by an array of talented artists from all over the world. Every painting is accompanied by a page of text drawn from the work that most inspired it. At the end of the book are comments on Tolkien's mythology by each artist.
