{"product_id":"deep-roots-in-a-time-patrick-curry-9783905703337","title":"Deep Roots in a Time of Frost","description":"In this collection of his published essays, Patrick Curry explores two themes in Tolkien's great work: enchantment, the Elves and Fa rie, and the natural world of Middle-earth. He considers their different effects on both readers and literary critics, and brings to light the deep connections between these two subjects, as well as between them and Tolkien's ultimate concern, 'Death and the desire for deathlessness.' Also illuminated, in contrast, is magic, as epitomised by the One Ring. Finally, he argues that the hobbits are exemplars of how to live in relation to enchantment: neither pursuing, nor avoiding, but honouring it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick Curry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3905703335\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783905703337\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Walking Tree Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.57d","brand":"Patrick Curry","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43940885299455,"sku":"9783905703337","price":26.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_dd7601cc-bcaf-4934-95e9-a809448b4dda.jpg?v=1681449719","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/deep-roots-in-a-time-patrick-curry-9783905703337","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
