For nearly three months we lived in the magic world, which was created by people and by famous writers. We were very happy.
It sounds strange but we wish to tell you our impressions about" The Lord of the Rings" by John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. The action takes place in the Middle-earth, a magic country, populated by wizards, Elves, Hobbits, Dwarfs and other little folk. All these images were taken by Tolkien from old Welsh legends, Irish sagas and German myths. This book seems to be a fairy - tale for us. The reason why we have written about it is the following: it is filled with true philosophy. In the book the author managed to express the ideas of cultural union of peoples, humanness, and readiness for self - sacrifice and heroic deeds for one's Motherland and friends. These are the main ideas of all tales. That is the answer to our question: "What do Russian and English tales have in common?"
