J.R.R. Tolkien worked on "The Lord of the Rings" for over 12 years, from around 1937 to 1949. This epic novel was a continuation of his previous work, "The Hobbit," and Tolkien constantly revised and expanded upon the story during this time.
The Hobbit is set about 60 years before most of the events in The Lord of the Rings.The Hobbit was published in 1937. The Lord of the Rings did not come out for over 20 years after that. It took Tolkien a long time to write the follow up.
No, J. R. R. Tolkien wrote all of The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings stories entirely himself, nobody is writing any new ones.However, his son Christopher Tolkien has taken many of his father's earlier works and compiled and edited them into publishable form. The first of these was The Silmarillion. These stories however contain no hobbits and are mostly about the Elves and wars that happened long ago in the First Age.
There is no evidence that J.R.R. Tolkien had a slave. Tolkien was an English writer and scholar best known for his high fantasy works like "The Lord of the Rings."
Absolutely! Just look at The Lord of the Rings trilogy. The Ring brings greed upon people; they yearn for it and long for it, and are willing to do literally anything to get their hands on it. Tolkien shows us how horrible greed can be, and how it can brutally twist people, sometimes out of their minds (just look at Gollum!).
It is not specified in either The Lord of the Rings or The Silmarillion how long it took to forge the 20 Rings of Power.
He wanted to have a well-crafted universe where the history was long and full of ancestry giving credibility to the characters and their motives both past and present .
I didn't know Tolkien was a timelord. o.O It was written in the 1930's -.- Fran Walsh wrote the movie
340 pages in my edition.
The Flesch reading ease for J.R.R. Tolkien's works would vary depending on the specific text. However, Tolkien's writing style is known for its complex language, long sentences, and rich descriptive passages, which could result in a lower Flesch reading ease score.
It is about two hours and 35 minutes long
No, the Middle-earth stories do not take place in any known historical period. Tolkien once described it as a fictional mythical past, but again long before any known period.
No, Éomer does not die during the narrative of The Lord of the Rings. In the Appendices we are told he lived a (for his people) long life, dying in his nineties.
