{"product_id":"2940016351476","title":"Leaves of a Mallorn","description":"LEAVES OF A MALLORN is a collection of essays concerning the world of J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth. In this new book I'm happy to share some of my thoughts about J. R. R. Tolkien's work. These essays have interested readers in a course I taught online, and I've reworked them to smooth off rough edges and add some insights. For a taste of what's here, the following is a list of the essay titles, divided into the sections in the book. I hope you'll find exploring these reflections both enjoyable and provocative in your own paths through Middle-earth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTolkien’s Works on Middle-earth\u003cbr\u003eTolkien: What to Read and When\u003cbr\u003eWays We Read The Lord of the Rings\u003cbr\u003eThe Films and the Books\u003cbr\u003eBeing a Hobbit\u003cbr\u003eFor Total Immersion in Middle-earth\u003cbr\u003eWhat Are the Themes of a Book?\u003cbr\u003eThe Appendices in The Lord of the Rings: ‘Truth’ for Readers?\u003cbr\u003eWhy We Read Tolkien\u003cbr\u003eBook Pages and Web Pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePop-Up Dwarves and the Rule of Seven\u003cbr\u003eThe Fox’s Puzzlement\u003cbr\u003eThe Bombadil Business\u003cbr\u003eEmergent Events at Bombadil's\u003cbr\u003eBilbo and Gollum, Frodo and Gollum: The Ring\u003cbr\u003eBarrow-downs and Barrow-wights: Wealth of the Story of Middle-earth\u003cbr\u003eFrodo, Wraiths, and Living Death\u003cbr\u003eNames, Names, Names\u003cbr\u003eSamwise the Strong\u003cbr\u003eFrodo Leaves Middle-earth\u003cbr\u003eAragorn and Arwen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Question of a Guiding Hand\u003cbr\u003eGood and Evil, Myth and Humanity\u003cbr\u003eReligion and The Lord of the Rings\u003cbr\u003eHeroes and Broken Spirits\u003cbr\u003eIn Your Seeing-Stone\u003cbr\u003eGandalf, Death, Life, and Suspense\u003cbr\u003eThe Evolution of Strider\u003cbr\u003eThe Free Peoples of Middle-earth\u003cbr\u003eThe Universality of The Lord of the Rings\u003cbr\u003eTolkien’s Unique Place\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnumeration and Memory\u003cbr\u003eTolkien’s Cosmogony\u003cbr\u003ePlaying in Muddle-earth\u003cbr\u003eTolkien and Race\u003cbr\u003eThe Fantastic, Tom Shippey, and Tolkien’s Work\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLearning to Write\u003cbr\u003eWriting Big\u003cbr\u003eWriting Fractal Layers\u003cbr\u003eWriting Hot\u003cbr\u003eWriting About Good, Evil, Faith, and Unbelief\u003cbr\u003eFurther Tolkien Reading","brand":"Dana Paxson Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47101379084528,"sku":"2940016351476","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016351476_p0.jpg?v=1763634116","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016351476","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
