Why one should read the Lord of the Rings
The Lord of the rings was written in by Mr. Jr Tolkien between year 1937 and 1949 and is said to be one of the greatest fantasy novels ever written. Using a combination of lore depth and beautiful language the novel has become one of the most popular books ever to be published, selling over 150 million copies worldwide. There are many reasons why this particular novel is said to one, if not the best epic fantasy novel ever written, one of these reasons is the vivid world in which Tolkien has put so much effort and detail.
Tolkien manages to create as well as bring the reader into an amazing fantasy world so vivid, and detailed that it leaves the reader with a feeling of having been there themselves. Tolkien carefully describes landscapes, characters and situations in a way that makes the universe of Middle earth seem almost likely to exist. Another great factor to the success of the Novel could be the many languages.
Tolkien manages to create specific languages which suit the different races of middle earth, such as the beautiful elven language which has several dialects and accents which also different in a varied grade. The elven language gives depth and mystery to these ancestral beings, it is complex yet equally beautiful. Likewise the “dark tongue of mordor” or black speech as it is often referred to sets the proper dark mood and feeling of those whom would dare speak it. Nevertheless the main function these languages carry is the depth it brings to the culture and existence of the races and characters.
Few works of art can be said to match Lord of the rings when it comes to the detailed history and cultures he describes in The Lord of the Rings, except perhaps by other works by J.R.R Tolkien himself. The history is both quite exciting as well as meaningful, with no shortages of surprises and exciting turns along the way.
