Die Kunst des Herr der Ringe von J.R.R. Tolkien

The art of 'The Lord of the Rings' gathers all drawings, inscriptions, maps, and plans by J.R.R. Tolkien related to his major work in a luxurious volume. Of the 180 illustrations, more than half are published for the first time. When J.R.R. Tolkien wrote 'The Lord of the Rings,' he often captured what was before his inner eye in images and drawings. These range from rough sketches on manuscript pages to finely crafted illustrations. Only a very few were intended for publication. Most served solely as aids in shaping his complex epic. Therefore, these fascinating images, mysterious writings, and maps document Tolkien's writing process and the creation of an entire world - Middle-earth, the home of all fantasy lovers.
