In addition to the excellent pace that characterizes this spiritual biography of Tolkien, the deeply instructive approach it presents stands out. By means of a rigorous analysis of the life trajectory of the creator of The Lord of the Rings, the author details the principles underpinning the writer's Catholic faith, a perspective that illuminates not only his personal sphere but also how this spirituality is reflected in the characters and stories that make up his literary work, particularly his best known, The Lord of the Rings.
One relevant aspect is the analysis of the relationships that Tolkien He cultivated with key figures of his environment, standing out especially, for its historical significance, the friendship he maintained with C.S. Lewis, characterized by a deep intellectual and spiritual exchange.
In addition to an exhaustive bibliography on Tolkien's person and universe, the volume includes two appendices, one dedicated to his life chronology and the other to prayers and liturgical texts present in Tolkien's life, as well as a basic glossary of religious terms that enriches the understanding of the spirituality of this writer, who defined himself as a "devout Roman Catholic".
