Description ▲
Tolkien used the descriptions of certain areas and places from the Balkans to create and shape Shire, Mordor, Cross-roads of the Fallen King… Tolkien used the great battles from Serbian history and epic poetry to create and shape the battle of the Hornburg, the siege of Minas Tirith, the battle of the Morannon… Tolkien used the heroes from the Serbian history and epic poetry to create and shape Hobbits, Arwen, Aragorn (Strider/Elessar)… Sounds incredible, does not it? But not impossible. The truth is that material evidence of any connection between Serbian history and epic poetry and Tolkien's epic trilogy either do not exist, or at least are not publicly known. But when you open the pages of this book you will realize they are not needed. Serbian history and epic poetry are fully within the fantasy world of "The Lord of the Rings".
