Antes que nada, indicar que esta obra no está autorizada por la Tolkien estate, y lo indica como tal en la contraportada, pero usa bastantes frases de sus obras y además siempre tiene mucho respeto por el trabajo de Tolkien. Wonderful compilation of essays exploring the travels of 16th century artist Albrecht Dürer and the impact they had on his life. Dürer kept a number of travel journals over the years and they provide incredible insights into how he thought about art, his contemporaries, other cultures, and the many changes that were rapidly occurring in his own homeland. This hardcover also contains many illustrations, both by Dürer and other European artists of the period.” El punto fuerte es que trae muchas ilustraciones (malo sería que no, dado que se llama mundo ilustrado), y con mucha variedad. Te pueden gustar más, te pueden gustar menos, pero reflejan como ven ellos y como plasman ellos el amplio universo que creó Tolkien. Yo en particular me quedo con dos artistas que he descubierto aquí, Kip Rasmussen y Mauro Mazzara, pero hay otras muchas ilustraciones muy buenas.

Acompañando a estas ilustraciones también podemos disfrutar de textos en los que se nos explica sobre los personajes o acontecimientos, relacionándoles con otras historias, leyendas o mitos. Se analiza así el proceso creativo de Tolkien, indagando en sus fuentes de inspiración para crear semejante mundo tan complejo y detallado. The David Day description basically have all the problems I mentioned in the first paragraph of the review. Lots of what David thinks presented as Tolkien, BAD BAD BAD Las explicaciones me resultaron muy interesantes, puesto que ahondan un poco en la inspiración del autor y de las bases lingüísticas (como chica de letras estas cosas me encantan).

Tolkien, as none of his fiction provides an all-encompassing narrative of the events of that 3,500-year period of Middle-earth’s history. Only through the efforts of Tolkien’s son Christopher has the public been able to appreciate the full grandeur of the Second Age, which is revealed in Tolkien’s meticulous notes and unfinished works. The Second Age is made up of two great narrative on the one hand the rise and cataclysmic downfall of the island kingdom of Númenor and its aftermath, and on the other the forging of the Rings of Power and the rise of the new dark lord, Sauron. Illustrated World of The Second Age includes more than 120 illustrations depicting the characters and events of this period—along with insightful commentary from renowned Tolkien scholar David Day—making it an essential addition to the library of every Lord of the Rings fan.

Although pre-dating the more famous peasant revolt in early 16 th century Swabia, the small 1476 uprising of peasants in Niklashausen is no less interesting.A farmer named Hans Böhm said he had received visions of the Virgin Mary. Among other things, Hans said that Mary told him the people needed to overthrow their corrupt clergy.
