Sinopsis

If you are at all familiar with Tolkien&rsquo,s work, then Bilbo&rsquo,s cry &ndash, proclaiming the arrival of Eagles &ndash, will be no stranger to you. Indeed, these plot-armoured birds are somewhat of a hallmark of the Master of Middle-Earth, one rejoiced over and lampooned in equal measure by both lovers and critics of his writing.But they are misunderstood. Tolkien&rsquo,s Eagles cannot be taken literally, they are a narrative embodiment of the unlooked-for grace, the redemptive turn &ndash, winged harbingers of Tolkien&rsquo,s concept of eucatastrophe.Anna Thayer has been fascinated, inspired and led by this concept since childhood. This book represents a eucatastrophe casebook of sorts, spanning over ten years of research. It is a series of investigations into Tolkien&rsquo,s work that reveal how overarching this theory was in his writing and mindset.
