The book J. R. R. Tolkien unveils the life and literary legacy of John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, an eminent English writer, and philologist renowned for his profound contributions to the fantasy genre. Born on January 3, 1892, Tolkien achieved literary immortality as the author of the high fantasy masterpieces, "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings." Tolkien's academic journey led him to prestigious positions at the University of Oxford, including the Rawlinson and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon. A close confidant of C. S. Lewis, he played a pivotal role in the influential literary circle known as The Inklings. Knighted as a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1972, Tolkien's impact on literature transcends his written works. The narrative delves into Tolkien's creation of Arda and Middle-earth, exploring the interconnected tales, poems, languages, and histories within his legendarium. The book sheds light on his friendship with C. S. Lewis, his academic pursuits, and the posthumous publications by his son Christopher, such as "The Silmarillion." Regarded as the "father" of modern high fantasy, Tolkien's enduring influence on literature is thoroughly examined, making this biography an indispensable journey through the life of a literary luminary.
