The libraries of the City of Aubange are pleased to participate once again this year in the new edition of Du Roman à l’Écran organized by the Province of Luxembourg.
From January 25 to March 15, 2025, the Athus Library invites you to an extraordinary journey to Middle-earth with the exhibition 'Tolkien: Journey in Middle-earth'.
Dive into the universe of J.R.R. Tolkien
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien is recognized as the father of modern fantasy. His emblematic works, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, have not only captivated generations of readers but have also redefined the fantasy genre. By creating a rich and detailed universe populated by various races like Elves, Dwarves, and Hobbits, Tolkien laid the foundations of a world that continues to inspire writers and filmmakers worldwide.
Tolkien drew on his philology expertise and his passions for Germanic, Celtic, and Scandinavian legends to build a unique mythology. His ability to weave epic narratives with universal themes such as friendship, sacrifice, and the struggle between good and evil has allowed his stories to transcend the ages. His work is also marked by meticulous attention to linguistic details, creating languages and alphabets that add unparalleled depth to his universe.
From Book to Screen
The exhibition will also highlight the cinematic adaptations by Peter Jackson, which played a crucial role in popularizing Tolkien's works to a global audience:
- The Lord of the Rings trilogy, released between 2001 and 2003, a grandiose epic that made cinema history;
- The Hobbit trilogy, which plunges us into Bilbo Baggins' adventures.
The exhibition will transport you to a fantasy world, where imagination knows no bounds. Don't miss this unique opportunity to travel to Middle-earth from January 25 to March 15, 2025, at the Athus Library!
