A NEW novel by “Lord of the Rings” author J.R.R. Tolkien was published on Thursday a century after it was first written, prompted in part by the horrors he witnessed in World War One.
“Beren and Luthien”, edited by Tolkien’s son Christopher Tolkien, presents two characters – a man and an elf – taken from Tolkien’s fictional world, Middle Earth.
The story centers on a series of daunting quests and forbidden love, extracted from a longer novel that Tolkien revised and developed several times, according to HarperCollins Publishing.
Written after the author came back from France in 1916, the book served as an “exorcism” of the appalling experiences he had on the battlefields of World War One, Tolkien scholar John Garth said in a BBC interview. (Reuters)
