Bonus 1 - LOTR Book Club - prologue

This is but a taste of what is to come on our Patreon! In this bonus episode, one of your hosts discovers the prologue of the Fellowship of the Ring as she ventures into reading the Lord of the Rings for the first time. Sometimes, your other host represses a remark so there is suspense: what went wrong? Please don't spoil her: Your newbie host is curious and thrilled! She looks not only at the meta analysis and the story told, but also at the anthropological and linguistic elements provided in the prologue, and questions whether Tolkien was messing with both anthropologists and historical linguists. She thinks yes. It's fun! The Orcs of Winterfell get mentioned, as well as Terry Pratchett's Discworld series and a Disney Documentary on dwarves. French medievalist Vincent Ferré, whose incredible work can be found here is saluted (and Virginie looks forward to finally be able to read his most famous works when she's completed her read-through) As always, feel free to write to us on Bluesky, Instagram or send us an email: it's @ RagmansPod everywhere. You can also leave us Millions of stars and comments on your podcast app of choice and of course join us on Patreon!
