Beskrivelse
The author believes that the genre of fantasy was born from the mythological and religious worldview of people. J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy is akin not only to Celtic and Scandinavian mythologies, but also to the Slavic religious and mythological system. Take for example the way of the Hobbit, but not the way drawn on a map of Middle-earth in geographical space. The way of the Hobbit is the ancient Slavic mystical "Way of the Fool", i.e. the way of the discovery of wisdom, which exceeds the ordinary and profane, but leads to the sacred. This path was followed by Bilbo Baggins, the hobbit, and Ivan the Fool from Russian fairy tales.The collection will be useful for further religious studies and philosophical research, as well as for practical use by philosophers, religious scholars, psychologists, linguists, journalists and those simply interested in the works of J.R.R. Tolkien.
