Meditations on Middle Earth Summary
|
When New Line Cinema announced that they had posted the film trailer for the upcoming Lord of the Rings trilogy on their official website (www.lordoftherings.net), more than 10 million people downloaded the trailer in the first month alone. That should give you an idea of the rabid fan base devoted to J. R. R. Tolkien's work and just how excited they are about these films. To tie in with the release of the first film (in theaters holiday 2001) is Meditations on Middle-Earth, a collection of original essays written by today's top fantasy and science fiction authors on the importance of The Lord of the Rings to their lives and their work. The people that make up this anthology include New York Times bestselling authors George R.R. Martin (Storm of Swords), Orson Scott Card (Ender's Shadow), Terry Pratchett (Discworld), Ursula Le Guin (The Telling), Gene Wolfe (Book of the New Sun), Poul Anderson, and many more. In addition, many of the essays reveal tidbits about these wildly popular authors, including the inspiration behind some of their most beloved works, and details about their past -- things their fans crave. Original artwork by John Howe is not included in the electronic version of this book.
