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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut they are misunderstood. Tolkien's Eagles cannot be taken literally; they are a narrative embodiment of the unlooked-for grace, the redemptive turn - winged harbingers of Tolkien's concept of eucatastrophe.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnna 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's work that reveal how overarching this theory was in his writing and mindset.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anna Thayer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1911143077\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781911143079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Luna Press Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 5.00w x 0.33d","brand":"Anna Thayer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937431355647,"sku":"9781911143079","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_a248930a-276e-484e-b21e-c1ae141b096d.jpg?v=1681430025","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-eagles-wings-anna-thayer-9781911143079","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
