@MichaelLoda @Prof_Nick_Groom @RoryStewartUK @UppsalaBooks Ładny zestawik. Bardzo bym prosił o opinię o "XXIst century Tolkien" po jego przeczytaniu, bo jeszcze nie miałem okazji...

Is The Lord of the Rings a Work of Modernism? By @Prof_Nick_Groom lithub.com/is-the-lord-of… via @lithub #LordOfTheRings #Tolkien

A tax demand appears to be one of the reasons—if not the main reason—for J. R. R. Tolkien’s selling the film rights to “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings.” @Prof_Nick_Groom trib.al/o8GbQZa
