There and Back Again π Oh, I've loved this fairy tale since childhood, my mother read it to me many times before bed and I myself reread it many times later, although now I've forgotten some moments π Still, Peter Jackson's films leave their mark and the details of the book and the film adaptation get confused in the mind! I don't think Professor Tolkien himself knew what his passion for legends and the scientific work of a philologist would turn into βοΈ He himself says that the idea to write "The Hobbit" did not even occur to him: one day, while checking exam papers, he wrote on a blank sheet of paper "In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit" π§βπΎ And then everything spun by itself and, caught by an unknown force, he created a fairy tale from which a whole new world was born β°οΈ In many ways, the world of Middle-earth is similar to ours and is inspired by the folklore of the peoples of the North: Scandinavian, Celtic and Old English mythologies π€ Many names, plots and general atmosphere are taken from these cultures, so in many ways the universe of Middle-earth is the ideological heir and continuer of these cultures πΊ This is probably why everyone in the north loves this universe so much haha πΈ Have you read The Hobbit as a child? #cute #teen #babyface #nerd #skinny
