Tolkien -- Enemy of Rome
#16
What does Stonehenge have to do with the Germans? Nothing at all, except maybe the coach-loads of them being driven to and from Salisbury Plain. Did anyone say it was made by Germans? Pity, really, since I know how dearly you love the Germans..<br>
No, I reacted to to this little teaser of yours:Quote:</em></strong><hr>He simply couldn't face the fact that his master race (and remember the Anglo Saxon British had much of the "Third World" under their heel in his day, were little more than cavemen when the mediterranean world had an advanced civiliazation.<hr><br>
I misunderstood, and thought of Tolkien as an Englishman, whereas you of course had him down as a wannabe-German...<br>
<br>
Oh and, don't believe anything you read on the Internet. Tolkien-bashing has been very 'in', especially since the movies threathened to become popular and loads of 'purist' (in whatever field) felt it necessary to air their superiority. Sometimes, despite the smashing movies, I feel the book had better been left alone. especially since the Christian Right has kidnapped Tolkien, the net is full of very praising comments about him. <br>
