    J. R. R. Tolkien

    J. R. R. Tolkien
    John Ronald Reuel Tolkien

    Fillogo y escritor britnico de origen surafricano

    Naci el 3 de Enero de 1892 en la ciudad de Bloemfestein de "Orange Free State",


    frica.

    Hijo del banquero Arthr Reuel Tolkien y de la misionera Mabel Suffield.

    Se mudaron a Sarehole, pueblo rural a las afueras de Birmingham donde Tolkien vivi
    hasta 1903. Su madre le ense las bases acadmicas (Latn, Griego, Matemticas y
    Literatura Romntica).

    Fue un estudiante perezoso. Su madre tambin lo introdujo en la fantasa o Faery-


    stories, cuya favorita era el informe sobre la bsqueda del Rey Arturo de Mallory.
    Cuando tena cuatro aos perdi a su padre, que no pudo sobrevivir a un ataque de
    fiebre, y a los 12 a su madre, enferma de diabetes. Al quedar hurfano, l y su
    hermano, dos aos menor, quedaron bajo la tutela de un sacerdote medio espaol y
    medio gals llamado Francis Morgan.

    A los 16 aos conoci a la que sera la mujer de su vida, Edith Bratt, tres aos
    mayor que l y tambin hurfana de padre y madre. El sacerdote prohibi la relacin
    hasta que fuera mayor de edad. Esper y, poco despus de cumplir los 21 aos, se
    prometi con ella. Cuando tena 24 aos se cas con Edith, tuvieron cuatro hijos y
    su matrimonio dur 55 aos.

    Nada ms casarse parti hacia el frente en la I Guerra Mundial, donde cay enfermo
    y fue repatriado.

    Se especializ en historia medieval y dio clases de literatura inglesa medieval en


    la Universidad de Oxford. Sus conocimientos resultan evidentes en sus obras de
    carcter pico, que se desarrollan en un mundo fantstico creado por l mismo y
    llamadoMiddle Earth.

    Escribi El Hobbit (1937) para sus hijos. A principios de los aos 30, cuando
    estaba corrigiendo exmenes de sus alumnos apareci uno totalmente en blanco. Aos
    despus dira: "Uno de los estudiantes fue compasivo y me dej uno de los exmenes
    en blanco, una de las mejores cosas que pueden sucederle a un profesor". La pgina
    inmaculada pareca invitarle a escribir y garabate: "En un agujero en la tierra
    vive un hobbit". Esta sera la semilla de su primera obra, que termin en 1937.

    Su continuacin, la triloga titulada El seor de los anillos es un cuento acerca


    de la lucha por la posesin de un anillo mgico en un mundo de elfos, hadas y
    dragones. Empez a escribirse poco despus de la publicacin de El Hobbit, tal como
    se lo sugirieron los editores Allen y Unwin. Tolkien emple 12 aos en escribir su
    ambiciosa obra sobre la bsqueda del anillo del poder y de la eterna lucha entre el
    bien y el mal. La publicacin de los dos primeros volmenes no se llev a cabo
    hasta el 1954. Es una larga historia que se divide en tres volmenes: La comunidad
    del anillo, Las dos torres y El retorno de rey. El Silmarillion (1977), que relata
    los comienzos mitolgicos de Middle Earth, y Relatos incompletos (1980), que
    contiene cuentos que no se incluyeron en sus otros libros, fue recopilado y
    publicado por su hijo, Christopher Tolkien.

    Llev a cabo estudios de crtica literaria y fue profesor en Oxford entre 1945 y
    1959, donde coincidi con C.S. Lewis que cultivaba el mismo gnero y hasta los
    mismos temas, aunque la amistad decay por los celos que senta Lewis del xito
    literario de Tolkien. En 1954, recibi el honorario de Doctor en Letras por el
    University College en Dubln y la Universidad de Lieja en Blgica, elegido
    vicepresidente de la Sociedad Filolgica de gran Bretaa y galardonado como miembro
    honorario en la Sociedad Islndica. En 1957, las Universidades de Harvard y
    Marquette le otorgaron grados honorarios. Tambin en ese ao, gan el premio a la
    mejor novela fantstica de 1956 en la Convencin Mundial de Ciencia Ficcin y en
    1958 gan el puesto honorario del Merton College.

    Por el tiempo de El Seor de los Anillos alcanz la cima de la popularidad, durante


    esa poca fue algo bueno, pero en su vejez, Tolkien odiaba las llamadas telefnicas
    a altas horas de la noche, la multitud de visitantes no invitados, las toneladas de
    correo y la prdida de su privacidad que empezaron a ser una plaga para l y su
    familia. En 1968, l y su mujer se trasladaron a Bournemouth, usando un alias para
    proteger su privacidad.

    Su mujer Edith Mary muri el 2 de Noviembre de 1971. John R. R. Tolkien se mud a


    un apartamento propiedad de la Universidad de Oxford y all vivi hasta su
    fallecimiento el 2 de Septiembre de 1973 a la edad de 81 aos. Sin embargo, justo
    antes de morir, fue premiado miembro de la Orden del Imperio Britnico por la Reina
    Isabel, uno de los premios ms prestigiosos de Inglaterra.
