21 days to the publication of "The Proverbs of Middle-earth"

This volume could simply be a list of sayings, with comments attached.  Instead, it uses the proverbs of Middle-earth as a lens through which to carry out an investigation of Middle-earth’s cultures.  By doing so, we are able to appreciate not only the insight and poetic quality of particular sayings, but also the fact that they form a coherent part of their speakers’ philosophical worldview: Elven proverbs are distinctly Elvish, the Ents’ proverbs are distinctly Entish, and so on.
