Shine of the runes and light of the worlds

How Tolkien creates and shines in our world and about a journey into his worlds. My talks at Tolkien meetings in Russia and abroad.

Every person has his or her own book of Tolkien on his shelf, his little volume and his road to the unknown, that we like Bilbo tread into a journey.

This road leads by the riches and orc dens, havens and ships, wizards and hobbits directly to the Elves, Dwarves and new friends.

The jewels of Middle-earth and other treasure are my stories about how I saw through the letters the shine of the runes and through the poems the light of the worlds created by Tolkien, to where one of my journeys lead me.

My stories are an examination of the facts long known and little studied, funny and unusual funds and happy memories of the meetings with John.

Research of the Tolkien legendarium in our world.

1. Tolkien's languages (Russian only)

Tolkien's languages, Dec 2020

Tolkien's languages is a unique try to structure the creations of the author, over 20 languages and 10 writing systems, over 13 books, for Tolkien lovers and those who just learn about him.

J. R. R. Tolkien (1892—1973) is a writer who managed to create with the help of his books, maps, images and most importantly languages his own legendarium, a huge universe. In it many people still find their characters in different ages and at different stages of imagination. Unique is the amount of the languages he created and how detailed he worked on them, the importance and depth of his work, the beauty of his creative work on Earth.

Tolkien thought out and wrote down over 20 languages, languages of the higher worlds and and different creatures — Elves, Dwarves, people, hobbits and even orcs (1905—1973).

He created over 10 writing systems, among which there were runic and cryptogrpahic (1905—1973).

He created a special cypher — code of dots, thanks to which Edith, his wife, could follow his movements on the front during the I World War (1916—1917).

About those and other of his creations in my report Tolkien's languages.

2. Tolkien's creative rune (Russian only)

Tolkien's creative rune, Nov 2020

How author met his friends and family, like-minded people and readers, students and publishers — in my talk “Tolkien's creative rune”.

What helped his creative work shape itself into this form, how and why two world wars became an important experience for him and what he carried from out of his path which helped him leave a great creative legendarium — a creation, which until now inspires others to create their own worlds within his universe — becomes clear when you open his books and read his poems. In their melody there's more singing than in many songs, and colours in his drawings than in many pictures, and joy in his creations than in many other stories.

More in my talk “Tolkien's creative rune”.

7. Tolkien's mythology: past, present, and future

Tolkien's mythology: past, present, and future, Sept 2020

Insight into and "outsight" from the Tolkien's legendarium during a large period of time.

What is happening in it in the past, present and future?
What was, is and will be happening on this Earth?
What is it that we so much love about the reality that Tolkien described, and what do we want to see around us now and later?
Where and how will his books be read in the future?
What is the perfect way for us all Tolkien fans to meet each other and to learn about new interesting things in our world?

Looking with a smile at his sometimes sharp and piercing remarks and always finding something new about his works while peering into the magical world he had created — though mildly disturbed by world wars, changing "his house, his chair, and his college" (as we all remember from The Lord of the Rings Foreword).

 

8. Tolkien's mythology: past, present, and future (Russian)

 

A journey into the Tolkien's legendarium on this Earth and the events that happen around the globe when the adventure begins.
