[J.R.S.S.]

The famous J.R.R.Tolkien is, as already said, the creator of modern fantasy. It is safe to say that all, if not most, writers take inspiration from such a man. Whether one would dislike his writings, either because of the writing of others or simple because it's "too mainstream for the contents it possesses!", one must look at the reasoning of the writings and the purpose of what this man was trying to say. He did not start with The Hobbit for children, though it is a famous children's book. It was a start of such a large metaphor that even the man himself did not see it coming about.

I will not emphasis what this purpose was, for it takes reading of the books and strict insight into them to figure such a purpose out. All I will write on his purpose is this... The Earth is the oldest artifact of man, holding not only all the great civilizations but also the era for which these civilizations developed. All eras bring on a new to the Earth, but one revolution began the worst, and perhaps the last era of this artifact. Tolkien knew of this time which he lived, and thus began the metaphor.
