A few days ago, I bought <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/AnAtlasOfTolkien" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AnAtlasOfTolkien</span></a>, hoping it would inspire my child to finish the rest of the <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Hobbit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hobbit</span></a>.<br>Today, my son drew a picture of the Battle of the Pelennor — and asked me to read the book to him.<br>With that, I recommend An Atlas of Tolkien… and The Hobbit, of course!<br><a href="https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/An_Atlas_of_Tolkien" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">lotr.fandom.com/wiki/An_Atlas_</span><span class="invisible">of_Tolkien</span></a><br>The Atlas has green cover with a beautiful dragon on it.

Pierre<p>Pour le <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/TolkienReadingDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TolkienReadingDay</span></a>, j'aimerais attirer votre attention sur un conte trop peu connu de Tolkien (comme tout ce qui n'est pas situé en Terre du Milieu) : "Feuille, de Niggle". Niggle (dont le nom signifie "Scrupuleux") est un peintre, mais ne peut peindre qu'en amateur, à côté de ses multiples devoirs. Il sait qu'un jour il devra partir pour un long voyage, mais procrastine le moment de s'y préparer. Il a entamé un tableau qui représente un arbre, mais chaque feuille qu'il s'efforce de terminer lui demande un temps disproportionné.<br>"Feuille, de Niggle" est une histoire très touchante et plus ou moins allégorique sur la création artistique et la place qu'on lui donne dans la vie.<br>On peut le trouver en français par exemple dans le recueil "Faerie et autres textes".<br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/fantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fantasy</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/JRRTolkien" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JRRTolkien</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/LeafByNiggle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LeafByNiggle</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/cr%C3%A9ation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>création</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>art</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/%C3%A9criture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>écriture</span></a></p>

theHigherGeometer<p>But on this <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/TolkienReadingDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TolkienReadingDay</span></a> I was also reading of when Denethor was actually nice to Faramir in the drafts, in The War of the Ring, History of Middle-earth vol 8.</p>
theHigherGeometer<p>I was trying to think of something that would be suitable, given the theme this year of "Fellowship and Community". Staring over at the shelves, I think not an original, but Tolkien's translation of Beowulf, with the scene in Heorot before Grendel comes later that night:</p><p>"There was laughter of mighty men, the din of singing; sweet were the words. Wealhtheow went forth, Hrothgar's queen, mindful of courtesy; with gold adorned she greeted the men in the hall, and then the cup she offered, noble lady, first to the guardian of the East Danes' realm, and wished him joy at the ale-quaffing and his lieges' love. He, king victorious, in delight partook of feast and flowing bowl. Then the lady of the Helmings went to and fro to every part of that host, to tried men and young proffering the jewelled vessels, until in due time it chanced that she, ring-laden queen of courteous heart, to Beowulf bore the cup of mead, and hailed the Geatish knight, and gave thanks to God in words of wisdom that her desire was granted to her that she might trust in any man for comfort in their miseries. That cup he then received, grim warrior at Wealhtheow's hand, and thereupon, his heart kindled with desire of battle, fair words he said. Thus Beowulf, son of Ecgtheow spake: "This did I purpose when I went up upon the sea and sat me in my sea-boat amid my company of knights, that I wholly would accomplish the desire of your people or would fall among the slain fast in the clutches of the foe. A deed of knightly valour I shall achieve, or else in this mead-hall await my latest day!"</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/TolkienReadingDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TolkienReadingDay</span></a></p>

Martin Rundkvist<p>As a response to the hit movies that made The Lord of the Rings primarily a film franchise to many people, <a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/Tolkien" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tolkien</span></a> Reading Day was instuted. It's 25 March.</p><p>This year I'm reading The Fall of Gondolin, which is the oldest piece of extant Middle-Earth fiction, dating from 1917. I expect it to be similar to the weaker bits of The Silmarillion, i.e. pretty ridiculous.</p><p><a href="https://www.tolkiensociety.org/society/events/reading-day/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">tolkiensociety.org/society/eve</span><span class="invisible">nts/reading-day/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/TolkienReadingDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TolkienReadingDay</span></a></p>

Nelly - Univers Fantasy<p>J'aurais une question pour les traducteurs/traductrices, le titre d'origine de cet essai est "On Fairy-Stories" : Pourquoi traduirait-on "stories" en "conte" ?<br>Est-ce que le terme Conte n'est pas plus limité que Stories ? Est-ce que "Fairy-Stories" avec le tiret s'applique au terme conte de fées en Français ?

Nelly - Univers Fantasy<p>Comme prévu je lis "Du conte de fées" pour ce <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/TolkienReadingDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TolkienReadingDay</span></a> . Il y a plein de passage intéressant sur sa vision du conte de fée (sachant qu'il estime le mot fée et elfe comme synonyme un bonne partie de ses réflexions s'appliquent bien à la fantasy en général). Mais pour l'instant celle qui m'a amusé est de le voir parler des "versions édulcorées de Grimm" du coup je me souviens que Tolkien n'aimait pas les versions Disney de ces contes. Tu m'étonnes !?!</p>
