Los mundos mágicos de "El señor de los anillos" … di David Colbert

El Señor de los Anillos, de J.R.R. Tolkien, es una obra maestra indiscutida que volvió al primer plano de interés por la versión cinematográfica que se hizo de ella.

Este libro, en forma de enciclopedia, ayuda al lector a hacer el proceso al revés: reconocer las historias ocultas tras las apasionantes páginas que nos ha legado Tolkien.

The Magical Worlds of Philip Pullman di David Colbert

A quick read which expands on some of the ideas behind His Dark Materials. I was aware of some of it already, such as Paradise Lost, but was not aware that some characters were patterned on 16th century philosophers etc.

Layout of the book is odd, with mini articles inserted on grey paper into the main narrative, though I don't mind the sidebar notes.

For me, the book didn't go far enough as I had a number of problems with HTM such as why should Lyra and Will having a sexual relationship magically cure the leaking Dust problem? So I would have appreciated more explanation of the many things that don't make sense.… (altro)
