BOOK
Tolkien: Man and Myth is widely considered one of the best studies on JRR Tolkien, because it analyzes with rigor and precision in both the biography and works, and compares them with the myth that has gone around the world by creating the Lord of the Rings . Particularly valuable are the pages devoted to friendship (also problematic) who tied Tolkien to CS Lewis, author of the Chronicles of Narnia .
The Italian translation is enhanced by a novel written by Don Divo Barsotti (one of the greatest mystics of our century) dedicated to the Lord of the Rings commented by Paolo Gulisano.
