Tolkien's Legends of Middle-earth (six Volumes Set)

(uk) J. R. R. Tolkien Et Al.

1.9M04

As a professor of linguistics at the University of Oxford in the UK, Tolkien created a myth system - Middle-earth based on the collection of creation myths and folklore from Northern Europe, Western Europe, and the Middle and Near East. This system has profoundly influenced several generations of Westerners and left a mark on Western culture in the 20th century and beyond. It can be said that without Tolkien, there would be no Western fantasy in the 20th century, and Tolkien's works still continue to exert an important influence in literature, games, film and television entertainment and other aspects to this day. For example: "The Lord of the Rings" was selected as the book of the 20th century in a voting event jointly organized by Waterstones Bookstore and Channel 4 in the UK, and was voted by the Amazon online bookstore as an extremely important book in the past two thousand years.
