J.R.R. Tolkien

Dünya ikiye bölünmüştür, denir Tolkien'in yapıtı söz konusu olduğunda: Yüzüklerin Efendisi'ni okumuş olanlar ve okuyacak olanlar: Artık Türk okur da okumuş olanlar tarafına geçebilecek! Yüzüklerin Efendisi'nin ilk kısmı Metis Yayınları tarafından 1997'nin sonbaharında sunulmuştu. 1998'de yayımlanan İki Kule ve Kralın Dönüşü ile yapıt tamamlandı. Yüzüklerin Efendisi yayımlanmaya başlandığında son yüzyılın en çok okunan yüz kitabı arasında en başta geldiği belirtilmişti. Türkçe basımı da bu ilginin evrenselliğini kanıtladı. Polisiye ya da bilimkurgu meraklıları, şiir roman ve öykü okurları, hep birlikte Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Aragorn ve Gandalf'ın maceralarını okumaya, Orta Dünya'da yaşamaya başladılar.

Yüzüklerin Efendisi 2

I’m like three pages in and already crying cool

 The River had taken Boromir son of Denethor, and he was not seen again in Minas Tirith, standing as he used to stand upon the White Tower in the morning.

I’m obsessed with the language used by Tolkien

“Where sight fails the earth may bring us rumour,” said Aragorn. “The land must groan under their hated feet.”

that should have read. My jaw was on the FLOOR.

Aragorn threw back his cloak. The elven-sheath glittered as he grasped it, and the bright blade of Andúril shone like a sudden flame as he swept it out. 'Elendil!' he cried. ’I am Aragorn son of Arathorn, and am called Elessar, the Elfstone, Dúnadan, the heir of Isildur Elendil's son of Gondor. Here is the Sword that was Broken and is forged again! Will you aid me or thwart me? Choose swiftly!'

Gimli and Legolas looked at their companion in amaze-ment.

‘his face…became like windows in a stone wall: windows with shutters inside.

Say what you like I do feel bad for him. These moments are so sweet

‘Better now,' he said. 'Are we rested? Ready to go on? Nice hobbits, they sleep beautifully. Trust Sméagol now? Very, very good.'

‘I love him. He's like that, and sometimes it shines through, somehow. But I love him, whether or no.'

‘If you seem to have stumbled, think that it was fated to be so.’

“‘For myself,' said Faramir, ‘I would see the White Tree in flower again in the courts of the kings, and the Silver Crown return, and Minas Tirith in peace: Minas Anor again as of old, full of light, high and fair, beautiful as a queen among other queens: not a mistress of many slaves, nay, not even a kind mistress of willing slaves. War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend: the city of the Men of Númenor; and I would have her loved for her memory, her ancientry, her beauty, and her present wisdom. Not feared, save as men may fear the dignity of a man, old and wise.’”

There are some things that it is better to begin than to refuse, even though the end may be dark.

Building on the story begun in The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring this is the second part of Tolkien’s epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, featuring a striking black cover based on Tolkien’s own design, the definitive text, and a detailed map of Middle-earth.

Frodo and the Companions of the Ring have been beset by danger during their quest to prevent the Ruling Ring from falling into the hands of the Dark Lord by destroying it in the Cracks of Doom. They have lost the wizard, Gandalf, in the battle with an evil spirit in the Mines of Moria; and at the Falls of Rauros, Boromir, seduced by the power of the Ring, tried to seize it by force. While Frodo and Sam made their escape the rest of the company were attacked by Orcs.

Now they continue their journey alone down the great River Anduin – alone, that is, save for the mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go.

Lord of the Rings Part 2

Absolutely obsessed with this series at this point. Shelob's Lair was such a great chapter definitely one of my favorites even though it was right near the end

In general I enjoyed this one more than the first one. I feel like I'm getting a lot closer to the characters. I like how Frodo really embraces the role of an unwilling hero in a non-cliche way, I like the friendships that get formed, I like how some of the characters really grow, and I loved the ents. Also, the writing feels a little bit more streamlined, but only a bit.

I still think this book over-narrates things. I don't need to know about every mile that the characters walk, and every meal that they have, and every time they rest, especially since these things don't do a great job of immersing me in Middle Earth, because they are repetitive and not particularly interesting or evocative, and they don't teach us anything about the world and the lore and cultures in it.

Again I think there's a good story here, but I wasn't very engaged with how it was told. And it's not the amount of detail per se. A lot of my favorite books do a lot of exposition to physically place the reader in the world in a vivid way, or to add context about lore and characters. I even enjoy a cleverly written info dump, which a lot of people hate. But this kinda felt like an unnecessarily detailed hiking journal, where all of that extra detail doesn't really add anything.

I really liked the first movie, so I'm going to continue and experience the rest of the story in movie form. Maybe someday I'll read the third book, but that day is not today.

Enjoyed it. Struggled at points but love the language. The use of ‘master’ is a bit weird tho

There was a point when I felt The Two Towers was my least favorite of the trilogy. But after this time through, it's really found a special place in my heart. The arc of Samwise, the depth of Faramir–all masterfully woven into the long journey Frodo and Sam are on. Though, sometimes, the long journey gets to me when it's page after page of Gollum, Frodo, and Sam trudging along. This time, rather, I realized it helps portray the great length they must go and the struggle they must endure to reach Mt. Doom. Page after page, step after step. Through the mountains, the marshes, and beyond.

LOVED the first part, so much going on and a lot of Aragorn <3. The switch between Merry/Pippin chapters and Aragorn/Legolas/Gilmli chapters was easy and kept the story fresh. 

The Legolas/Gimli bromance is brilliant and tbh makes me look forward to reading so much haha

Second part was a little harder to get into but maybe this is because you only follow Frodo and Sam so there’s a lot less opportunity for twists. Even so still exciting and fun.

I got confused at some parts as characters and groups were a little similar but could just be me let’s be real.
