History
Dive into the universe of J.R.R. Tolkien. John Ronald Reuel Tolkien is recognized as the father of modern fantasy. His iconic 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 established the foundation of a world that continues to inspire writers and filmmakers worldwide. Tolkien drew inspiration from his knowledge of philology and his passion for Germanic, Celtic, and Scandinavian legends to build a unique mythology. His ability to weave epic tales with universal themes such as friendship, sacrifice, and the battle between good and evil has allowed his stories to transcend time. His work is also marked by meticulous attention to linguistic details, creating languages and alphabets that add unrivaled depth to his universe. The exhibition will also highlight the film adaptations made 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 grand epic that marked the history of cinema; The Hobbit trilogy, which immerses us in the adventures of Bilbo Baggins. The exhibition will transport you to a world of fantasy, 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!
