Nei trent’anni trascorsi dalla morte di J.R.R. Tolkien nel settembre del 1973, milioni di persone in tutto il mondo hanno letto Lo Hobbit (1957), Il Signore degli Anelli (1954/55) e Il Silmarillion (1977), romanzi che hanno forgiato un universo dal fascino infinito, in cui la tradizione epica sembra riprendere vita con moderna sensibilità. Con la realizzazione del kolossal di Peter Jackson, il cinema ha di recente contribuito a un ulteriore ampliamento del successo e della diffusione delle opere dello scrittore. Malgrado la popolarità, la figura di J.R.R Tolkien rimane però sostanzialmente oscura al grande pubblico e pochi sono gli approcci realmente seri e documentati sulla sua vita e sulla sua opera. Grazie alla fondamentale biografia di Humphrey Carpenter, l’unica autorizzata dagli eredi di Tolkien, si sono potuti individuare i lunghi e laboriosi processi che hanno prodotto Il Signore degli Anelli e gli altri capolavori, ma soprattutto sono stati resi noti al pubblico di lettori e appassionati molti particolari della sua vita che hanno influenzato la stesura della sua opera più importante. John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, Ronald per la famiglia e John per gli amici, nacque a Bloemfontein, capitale dello stato sudafricano dell’Orange il 3 gennaio 1892. Il padre, 7 Arthur Reuel Tolkien, discendeva da un sassone immigrato in Inghilterra nel XVIII secolo 1 e la sua era stata una ricca famiglia di costruttori di pianoforti. Ma alla fine del XIX secolo, gli affari dei Tolkien non erano più floridi. Arthur decise, così, di cambiare lavoro dedicandosi all’attività bancaria e trasferendosi in Sudafrica, nella speranza di fare fortuna. Questa giunse in fretta e gli consentì di far arrivare dall’Inghilterra la fidanzata Mabel Suffield, figlia colta ed istruita di un’antica famiglia di nobili decaduti del Midland. Al suo arrivo in Sud Africa, Mabel, che aveva solo 21 anni, sposò Arthur, allora trentaquattrenne, presso la cattedrale di Città del Capo. Risedettero a Bloemfontein, cittadina situata ad oltre un miglio dalla capitale, e dopo nove mesi, nacque il primogenito Ronald, seguito, a due anni di distanza, dal fratello Hilary. Il caldo clima africano non era congeniale né a Mabel né al piccolo Ronald che, all’età di tre anni, fu riportato in patria insieme al fratello. Ronald si riprese, ma il padre, che avrebbe dovuto raggiungerli a breve, si ammalò gravemente di febbre reumatica e morì. L’unico ricordo che Ronald conservò di suo padre fu l’immagine di un uomo baffuto che scriveva con la vernice il suo nome su una valigia, prima della partenza. Per i primi tempi, i due bambini vissero presso i nonni materni, i Suffield, cui Ronald si affezionò molto e dai quali assimilò la tipica mentalità borghese dell’epoca, nonché il fiero attaccamento al paese d’origine. 2 La forte identità culturale e il profondo sentimento di appartenenza alla regione del Midland ebbero un influsso importantissimo sia per quanto riguarda l’indirizzo degli studi universitari di Tolkien che per le sue opere. All’età di quattro anni, Tolkien si trasferì, insieme alla mamma e al fratellino, in una casetta in un tranquillo borgo a sud di Birmingham, chiamato Sarehole. Ronald se ne innamorò subito. I due fratellini trascorsero l’estate scorrazzando liberi per le campagne, affascinati dai prati, da un vecchio mulino sul torrente e dalla Torbiera di Moseley, nonché da due burberi personaggi, un contadino e un mugnaio 3 sempre infarinato, da loro soprannominati rispettivamente l’Orco Nero e l’Orco Bianco. 1 Il cognome Tolkien è infatti una storpiatura di Tollkuhn che in tedesco significa avventato. 2 L’antico casato era originario, infatti, di Eversham nel Worcestershire e una zia di Ronald era proprietaria di una tenuta , il Bag End. 3 Non deve stupire, quindi, che il personaggio del mugnaio burbero sia tanto presente nei racconti di Tolkien. 8 Le lezioni di disegno botanico fecero acquisire al giovane Ronald un rinnovato interesse per la natura e l’ambiente circostante; i due fratelli incominciarono ad esprimersi come la gente del posto: nel loro vocabolario entrarono termini come gamgee (bambagia), destinati a riaffiorare a decenni di distanza ne Il Signore degli Anelli. Quando Ronald e Hilary erano ancora piccoli, la madre si assunse personalmente l’onere di insegnar loro i primi rudimenti: a quattro anni Ronald sapeva già leggere e scrivere. Era appassionato di favole: amava leggere i racconti di Gorge MacDonald e Andrew Lang. Preferiva le favole con i draghi e a sette anni scrisse il suo primo racconto che parlava di un grande drago verde.

To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of interconnected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a cul- ture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences, and images are nei- ther suffciently amplifed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences, and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S.

Weta Workshop makes models, props and miniatures, whereas Weta Digital creates virtual characters and computer generated special eff ects. Audiences around the world were awestruck when the Lord of the Rings trilogy hit the big screen. Trees walked, massive armies of men and elves battled evil Orcs, and through it all marched an unlikely fellowship of brave little hobbits, a tall wizard, brave men, an elf and a dwarf and of course the lurking Gollum (aka Smeagol). e special eff ects were quite simply amazing, and creating them is not only an art but an exact science.
