Reise durch Mittelerde

John Howe leads us through this magnificent illustrated book to all the known and unknown locations of "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings." He showcases their wildness, grace, and depth while always preserving their mysterious uniqueness. It is one of the most beautiful books about Tolkien's Middle-earth. The landscapes between Bree and Gondor, between Angmar and Mordor, have etched themselves deeply into the memories of entire generations of readers. These fantastic meadows and rivers, gorges, tunnels, forests, and mountain ranges are unique in both literature and film. On his journey through Middle-earth, the renowned artist John Howe not only focuses on well-known locations such as the Prancing Pony inn, the horse realm of Rohan, Elrond's house in Rivendell, or the perilous Mirkwood and Helm's Deep, but he also dedicates attention to more remote places and even dares to take a glimpse at the lands beyond the sea. The texts accompanying the color illustrations and drawings illuminate how John Howe has interpreted Tolkien's world.
