was sufficient that gives the Elvish word meaning friends, because the doors opened. Extremely simple. Too simple for an experienced teacher of the tradition of distrust in days like these. Then the times were happier. (John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings, Bompiani, 2003, p.399)
The greatest work of Tolkien and Lewis, along with their literary masterpieces are the Inklings, this bizarre coterie of academics, with a predilection for literature (and reciting aloud). Without the friendship between them, first, then that among all the Inklings, you can not penetrate the secret of their lives and therefore their writings but also of many other works and people who have gained strength from that connection. They were all together a couple of times a week, Tuesday night in the study of CS Lewis and the Eagle and Child on Thursday, one of the pubs in Oxford. I imagine them in their diversity of styles and temperaments, discuss, even heatedly, of all things of interest to them, on them and to family life or work, but especially current affairs and the books they were writing, or even studying. In one of his stories, unusual in Italy, Tolkien portrays his characters even as a group of scholars, engaged in the analysis of a dream of a group of characters, clear reference to the Inklings.
For this hope, as my imperfect command of English-speaking, that sooner or later be translated and published in Italy a few essays and a novel, recently released in the U.S.: Diana Pavlac Glyer, The Company They Keep. CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien as writers in community ; by Jonathan Himes, Truths Breathed Through Silver: The Inklings' Moral and Mythopoeic Legacy ; the novel by David Downing and is titled Looking for the king and where explores the issue of mutual influence and mutual contribution of the authors who gravitated around the circle. This experience has inspired, at least originally, the Company Tolkien's scattered all over the world, primarily the American Mythopoeic Society and all those simple meeting of friends who start at a particular interest in front of a beer and get to share all of life.
I think back to the upcoming movie The Hobbit ( find here all the updates of the case). The first work I've always Tolkien's most expensive: a recent addition to reading, his discovery is linked to one of the best moments of my life, just linked to the birth of a friendship. Who has never heard you recommend a book? It is part of the experience for everyone, but in that case was more of a council was called to share and nothing more appropriate of this book to find out the reading as an encounter, a dialogue, a break into a world other than itself, like any true reading and friendship should be done. The steps of these also Tolkien's work were similar to those of his friend and I against the world at the side of the book, which were the conferences, presentations, in which I participated in various capacities, the fandom, online, but also, especially in the early days, face to face: a network of relationships marked by an urgency to spend life for something big.
Even so I am happy to be on the journey with Bilbo. Immediately jumps to the eyes that move through the pages with the thickness difference The Lord of the Rings , But remains one of the most beautiful books I've read. All the power lies in its protagonist, the hobbit, certainly the most original invention of the author, the most personal contribution to the world he created, is a Bildungsroman but simply repeats the patterns or loved ones to this kind of fairy tale which keeps the tone, however only the beginning. It 's the outward journey and return to the world, with the wealth of characters and situations that, for better or for worse enrich the person, and on the skill of Tolkien is all you want to be in there with them to know Beorn and Bard, to fight with the spiders and orcs. It's worth just for the scenes with the dragon, in the first conversation between Bilbo and Smaug that is very similar with a fireworks display worthy of Gandalf. If it were not for the success of the book and the character, so many readers asked JRRT and its publisher other stories of hobbits, we would not have that masterpiece that is The Lord of the Rings in which it reaffirmed its preference for These hardy creatures.
