Indeed, these plot-armoured birds are somewhat of a hallmark of the Master of Middle-Earth, one rejoiced over and lampooned in equal measure by both lovers and critics of his writing.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBut they are misunderstood. Tolkien’s Eagles cannot be taken literally; they are a narrative embodiment of the unlooked-for grace, the redemptive turn – winged harbingers of Tolkien’s concept of eucatastrophe.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAnna Thayer has been fascinated, inspired and led by this concept since childhood. This book represents a eucatastrophe casebook of sorts, spanning over ten years of research. It is a series of investigations into Tolkien’s work that reveal how overarching this theory was in his writing and mindset.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Luna Press Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47137465336048,"sku":"9781911143086","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781911143086_p0.jpg?v=1763630474","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781911143086","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
