From The Hobbit to The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R Tolkien 's work is firmly anchored in pop culture, and has inspired a number of film adaptations, including Peter Jackson's two trilogies. Considered the father of Fantasy, the famous British author is renowned for having imagined an extraordinarily complete fictional universe that has fascinated generation after generation.
