A monument of its kind

Not only is it a stone in a physical sense, but also a literary monument, a dive into a fantasy world that we did not want to leave once you get slipped. We always said of this work that we must get through the first 100 pages to join, and I understand those who have stalled before. But we must consider this as a test, a sesame that deserves to access this universe created from scratch with its own myths by the demiurge Tolkien. A passport to a profound work involving a true reflection on power, which does not allow lightness. As the ring to Frodo's neck being made heavier through the pages, causing the holder to painful metaphysical dilemmas, changing its personality carefree start to make him be serious having lost innocence during his quest.

Tolkien wanted to re-enchant the world. By this hénaurme novel, he got there, not only leaving aside all sentimentality, but adding the fundamental philosophical questions.
