İ wish brian herbert was like this

The only one native speaker I have in my quenya lessons.

0:20 "oh Mario, i retarded"

christopher tolkien was far more comfortable during interviews than his father..

This is great. For all the hype, the good stuff often doesn't have a lot of views.

bro was mad there was no epic english mythology and said fuckit I'll do it myself

I can’t stop listening to this

R.I.P thank you for taking your time to make your fathers work available even after his death.

Este poema es precioso.

Pure magic.

You can sense the passion he has for his own fathers novels. His dad was most certainly his hero.

It was a father son collaboration almost from the beginning

Tolkien himself said of the LOTR books he wrote, "They are fundamentally a religious and Catholic work." To not understand the Catholic meaning in the books to not know them in depth. I look forward to seeing more videos from your channel. Thank you.

And now we are stuck with the grandson. The true 3rd darklord.

Many of you might know this, and I'm *very* late to the party - but there is a beautiful rendition of "(The) Song of Durin" by Clamavi De Profundis. Go check it out :)

Tolkien has such a blessed laugh...

this is my first time hearing the man's voice.....yep, he sounds like what I always imagined he would

I find it very interesting how he doesn’t always pause at the end of the lines like you would expect, but sometimes in the middle of them. The cadence of his speech is very distinct and I can’t tell if it’s just the way he talks or not because there aren’t a lot of recordings of him speaking in Elvish.

Did Tolkien, adapt songs, to put in LOTR? Or, are they original compositions?

Thank you Tolkien Society, thank you God Tolkien

It was when Christopher retired, that Amazon struck. Christopher was like Gondor, while he stood, Middle-earth could thrive.

He's done quite well there he should keep at it.

I had a wish, once upon a time, that I would meet them, father and son, and ask them a thing or two. Like walking in a meadow, looking at the bees, butterflies, and birds, and just talking about all the Ages and theirs events. Then I would go home, satisfied, and paint a mural of the Two Trees of Valinor, Laurelin and Telperion, on my living room wall.

This always reduces me to ponder my own yearnings and regrets.

i love this poem

I want AI to recreate his voice and make a audio version of his books

It sounds like Finnish--- to one who does not speak Finnish. I had heard Tolkien based Quenya on Finnish and Sindarin on Welsh.

it's interesting to note that chris was THE person that was read to by tolkien, and here he is reading this

Thank you for posting this!!

There is no story quite like The Silmarillion. I've listened to the audiobook by Martin Shaw at least three dozen times, and I still find new things and new mysteries to daydream about still to this day. Losing Christopher was a major loss, to us all, and mostly to the Tolkien Foundation. I have a bad feeling they are going to start corporatizing all these stories even worse than they did with that god awful shltshow Rings of Power.

I would have much prefered this if it was just footage of Tolkien, uninterupted by pretentious twits.

Won't play, "An error occurred. Please try again later." How much later?

The guy that call the Hobbits the bourgeoisie and the Orcs the proletariat wait to start a revolution is talking complete nonsense. Clearly the men and hobbits are the forces of good and the orcs are the forces of evil. I do hate it when posh t w a t s look at everything through a Marxist lens, it’s so boring. They haven’t even read the books why did the BBC even include them.

You’re fat hitler

Homie would go bonkers if he saw what they're now doing with his father's work. He seems like such a dedicated and a fiercely loyal man to his father.

Fascinating insight about the evolution of Tolkien's world. It explains the functions of the writing of "Unfinished Tales", as it has a lot of the "writing back" that Christopher refers to.

Thanks for everything Christopher

Волшебно! Мы слышим голос писателя на придуманном им чудесном языке. Замечательный писатель и потрясающий человек!

Book one>

I don't see any problem. Real world mythologies are full of contradictions because of the nature of stories evolving across time and across cultures and mistranslations and so forth. Any contradictions created by the incomplete "back writing" makes it all feel more authentic.

It's like a british wartime casualty report

I’m going to watch She-Hulk: Attorney at Law twerk right after this!

Love you!!! Thank you, Sir!!!

I don’t know when this are true or just made.

"Of mighty kings in Nargothrond and Gondolin who now beyond. The western seas have passed away, the world was fair in Durin's day..." You can see how culturally rich this poem is by reading the first line which speaks of mighty kings of Nargothrond and Gondolin that were both two very big cities/realms of the elves founded in the early first age. And on the second line, I'm not sure, but it seems it speaks of the events that led Beleriand (and consequently Gondolin and Nargothrond as seen here upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ea/MapaDeBeleriand.jpg ) to sunk in the War of the Wrath at the end of the first age. This poem didn't need to be so rich and complex (in a sense of history). It's inspired by events that happened before and that affected the dwarves and they culture in a way or another. That's just like how things happen in the real world. And that's why I really find this amazing.

As soon as he died his relatives the Tolkien estate whored off his fathers legacy to Amazon.

I’m doing research on specific religious sect and Tolkien came up on my research. I was very fortunate to see Tolkiens exhibit in NYC. I remember seeing some of these books on display and the world building Tolkien and his beautiful map. I liked Lord of rings trilogy but I only seen video essays dissecting the movies versus the books.

Dear Peregrine, Waters hot indeed are a very fine thing, For much warmth to the body do they bring, That cause the heart like the bells that ring To shout, to rejoice, and to sing! Cold water may well slake and quench a thirst, But life only begins when one's fully immersed In a tub of water filled near to burst With steaming hot water that didst get run first! As I bring an end to this here tale, 'Ti's incumbent on me that I do not fail To extol the praises with wine, mead and ale - Waters hot, we salute you, all hail, all hail!
