About this ebook
J.R.R. Tolkien was trying to learn Serbian language in order to read Serbian epic poems in the original. These were the poems about great heroes from the Serbian past (Czar Lazar, King Marko, Karageorge...), and great battles that changed the course of Serbian history (Kosovo battle, battle of the Misar...).
There is no evidence that J.R.R. Tolkien was inspired by the heroes and battles from the Serbian history and epic poetry while writing his epic trilogy. But when you open the pages of this book you will realize they are not needed. Serbian history and epic poetry are fully within the fantasy world of "The Lord of the Rings".

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Ok, if you’re a skeptic, which I’m sure you are, by the end of this book, regardless of all the coincidences, thinking that Serbia cannot be the only country to be immortalized in some other culture’s history, know that it is mankind’s very SPIRIT that everyone with a soul, at the very least, wishes to emulate. Serbian or not, Serbia has in our time shown how we stand a chance of survival against what is evil. Thank you Tolkien for immortalizing the essence of the Serb, the same essence that so many have awoken in themselves and proves to this day that evil cannot erase from our past what lives in our own hearts.
