Argumento de Middle-earth Seen by the Barbarians Vol. 1 (ebook)

The history of Middle-earth, written by the losers J.R.R. Tolkien has frequently been accused of racist attitudes. But Tolkien was of course well aware of the consequences of racial politics, having passed through both World Wars, and there is much evidence in his texts that the ethnic concepts even of the ?good? Men of Middle-earth often led to tragic consequences. This double volume incorporates many references to the lesser Mannish peoples of Middle-earth, dispersed through many of Tolkien's books, and analyses them to compile the history of the First, Second and Third Age as seen by the losers. In addition, the unknown history of Dorwinion is told, the mystery of king Bladorthin is discussed and a new interpretation of his name is given. This ebook was written for the fans of Middle-earth. Familiarity with the books of J.R.R.Tolkien is assumed.0
