İki ders arasındaki boş vakti kütüphanede geçirdiğim günlerden birinde, Alman Edebiyatı raflarında gezinirken bu kırmızı ciltli kitap dikkatimi çekti. Belli ki yanlış rafa konmuş, ne yazarın ne de içeriğin Alman edebiyatıyla uzaktan yakından alakası var. Ama ne iyi olmuş, ben yanlışlıkla denk gelmişim bu kitaba, ödünç almışım, okumuşum.

By fantasy Tolkien meant "a quality of strangeness and wonder" that frees things and people from "the drab blur or triteness of familiarity." It restores "a clear view."

Eowyn aslında bir Valkyrie
The warrior woman Eowyn in The Lord of the Rings is a Snorri-type Valkyrie -- her people, the Riders of Rohan, are an overlay of Icelandic saga on Anglo-Saxon lay.

Tolkien'in kendini yazar olarak görmeyişi
While working on The Lord of the Rings, he wrote, "The thing seems to write itself once I get going, as if the truth comes out then, only imperfectly glimpsed in the preliminary sketch." Of The Silmarillion, he said, "The mere stories were the thing. They arose in my mind as 'given' thing (...) always I had the sense of recording what was already 'there', somewhere: not of 'inventing."

Tolkien ve Shakespeare
Tolkien's dislike of Shakespeare would grow over time. In the 1950s he would wish "a murrain," a disease of sheep's feet, on the bard for having debased the idea of elves with his "damned cobwebs" in A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Tolkien, savaştan sonra.
He spent much of 1917 in the hospital, where he began writing the fantastical tales that would become The Silmarillion.

J. R. R. Tolkien held a grudge against Hitler, a "burning private grudge," Tolkien wrote in 1941, for "ruining, perverting, misapplying, and making forever accursed, that noble northern spirit, a supreme contribution to Europe, which I have ever loved, and tried to present in its true light. Nowhere, incidentally, was it nobler than in England."

Fear made the British invade Iceland in 1940 -- fear that the Icelanders were truly as Germanic as the Germans had long claimed.

Yunan filozofu Euhemerus'un düşüncesine göre...
He argued that the old gods were just exceptional human beings who, as the stories about them grew in the telling, were taken to be divine. Myths, in his view, are just embroidered history.
