Krátky popis
In The Real Middle-Earth, explore the magically enchanting
early-English civilization on which Tolkien based his world of The
Lord of the Rings. Tolkien readily admitted that the concept of
Middle-earth was not his own invention. An Old English term for the
Dark Age world, it was always assumed that the importance of magic
in this world existed only in Tolkien's works, now Professor Brian
Bates reveals the vivid truth about this historical culture.Behind
the stories we know of Dark Age kings and queens, warriors and
battles, lies the hidden history of Middle-earth, a world of magic,
mystery and destiny. Fiery dragons were seen to fly across the sky,
monsters haunted the marshes, and elves fired poisoned arrows.
Wizards cast healing spells, wise trees gave blessings, and omens
foretold the deaths of kings.The very landscape itself was
enchanted and the world imbued with a life force. Repressed by a
millennium of Christianity, this belief system all but disappeared,
leaving only faint traces in folk memory and fairy tales. In this
remarkable book Professor Brian Bates has drawn on the latest
archaeological findings to reconstruct the imaginative world of our
past, revealing a culture with insights that may yet help us
understand our own place in the world.
