About this listen

Rithöfundarins, ljóðskáldsins, textafræðingsins og fræðimannsins J. R. R. Tolkien (1892-1973), sem þekktastur er fyrir tímamótaverk sitt, Hringadróttinssögu, sem hvert mannsbarn ætti að þekkja. En hún gekk í endurnýjun lífdaga er Peter Jackson kvikmyndaði hinn magnaða heim Tolkiens um aldamótin síðustu.

Farið er yfir ótrúlegt ævihlaup Tolkiens, allt frá uppvaxtarárum hans í Englandi og S-Afríku. Tilhugalíf skáldsins og hinn ógnvænlega tíma í skotgröfum heimsstyrjaldarinnar fyrri. White greinir einnig frá þeirri yfirburðarþekkingu sem Tolkien bjó yfir og fjallað er um hvernig Íslendingasögurnar og norræn goðafræði hafði áhrif á sköpun hans. Einstök saga um einstakan mann sem oft er nefndur faðir fantasíunnar. Efnafræðikennarinn Michael White var afkastamikill höfundur. En gaf hann út 35 verk áður en hann lést árið 2018. Skrifaði hann bæði skáldsögur og fræðirit, meðal annars ævisögur og má þá helst nefna; Isaac Newton, Leonardo, Tolkien og C. S. Lewis. En ásamt fræðmanninum John Gribbin skrifaði hann einnig um Darwin, Einstein og Stephen Hawking. Fyrsta skáldsaga White, Equinox, kom út árið 2006 og hefur síðan þá verið þýdd yfir á 35 tungumál.

Finally in icelandic!

It is a pleasure to find something to listen to in my native tongue! It is a biography I have wanted to listen too, Tolkien is my favourite author.

But this publication doesn't seem to be ready, the chapters are extremely weird and in the beginning the reader stops and repeats so it doesn't seem to be edited. But listening to Hjálmar is enjoyable, genious.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
