most important writers of the 20th century, his stories and characters have filled the
the imagination and the thought of generations in recent years,
who have found in Tolkien's "legendary" and his Middle-earth, immediate references, about an unknown but close universe, with stories full of magic that speak of the reality of the world and its dimensions. Such is the case of the great Tolkenian work "The Lord of the Rings", a story that after sixty years of its publication in English, hundreds of editions and reeditions in several languages, to which have been added works and illustrations of all kinds: manga, sub realistic, and even in the style of medieval iconography, through which the scenes of the story of a hobbit and his ring of power have been recreated. Fame has also come from the highly successful work of Peter Jackson, reflected in the great cinematographic pieces inspired by Tolkien's stories and characters, which even today continue to captivate millions of fans who surrender to the fascination of Middle-earth.
