-Author of the topic: J.R.R Tolkien.

-Abstract or summary of the research :

    In this work I am trying to make an intensive research on the life and works of this magnificent author, J.R.R Tolkien. Sailing through my pages you will be able to find some pieces of information about Tolkien: his life, his works (Tolkien's love of fantasy literature led him to create his own works based in a fantasy universe called "Middle Earth". He began writing "The Book of Lost Tales" in 1917; this book later became the basis for the "Silmarillion"), his contemporany literary movements and some criticisms made to him.
    I have decided to deal with this 19th. century author due to the inexplicable effect his works caused to me, I really like them. I am sure that if it is the first time you hear about Tolkien my work could be a good guide to help you. Enjoy it!

-Auto-Evaluation: I would like to get a high mark, but of course I can not evaluate my own work it will not be fair. However if I have to do that I hope to get an excellent (not by the work itself but by the time employed in designing it, and collecting information).
