March 25: International Tolkien Reading Day. Di...
Welcome to a new blog from Espadas Y Más. Today is March 25th and we couldn't pass up the opportunity to talk to you about Tolkien. Don't miss out on our Discounts for celebrating this day! March 25th. International Tolkien Reading Day March 25 is International Tolkien Reading Day. This date was chosen because it marks the destruction of the Ring and the end of the Third Age in “The Lord of the Rings,” a very important work by Tolkien. Since its first celebration in 2003 by the Tolkien Society in England, International Reading Tolkien Day has been celebrated annually. Tolkien societies around the world usually mark the event on the weekend closest to 25 March. Elendil Sword Lowered! On this day, Tolkien fans gather to read excerpts from his books and celebrate his literary legacy. In Spain, for example, the Sociedad Tolkien Española usually organises various activities in different cities. It is a great opportunity to enjoy the rich and detailed mythology that Tolkien created in his works, and to appreciate the depth and beauty of his writing. Dart Sword with Display on Sale! Tolkien's work is not just another fantasy literary creation. In The Lord of the Rings (without detracting from the rest of his works) we can observe the presence of values typical of the wisdom tradition such as honour, the search for the prevalence of good and the appreciation of virtue. On the other hand, we find some reference to the Hero's Journey, so present in the literary tradition and even in the collective subconscious of the European tradition. The whole story of Frodo is a representation of the Hero's Journey, from beginning to end, and the companions who accompany him, as well as the feats he must undertake to overcome the situations he faces, complete this area. Numenor Sword Lowered! One could also mention the presence of Carl Jung's archetypes in Tolkien's work. (The hero, the leader, the magician, the wise man, the explorer, the protector, etc.) Galadriel Sword Discounted! The Lord of the Rings can, and should, be a close reference for readers of this century, not only for the high quality of its narrative and the complete world it evokes, but for everything it conveys and the values it reflects. From Espadas Y Más we want to wish you a Happy Tolkien Day 2024!
