Tolkien himself said that he is not a \"type\" but a creature who, in given circumstances, behaves in certain ways. Gollum is like each of us: in a constant struggle between different, sometimes conflicting, ways of reasoning; with the same confusing thoughts that put us in crisis. It is precisely in this internal diatribe that the Pity and Mercy of many characters, such as Eru, Bilbo, Frodo, Sam and Faramir, find their way through the pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn The Gospel of Gollum, we ask ourselves: could Tolkien have constructed the character of Gollum as a possible exemplification or personification of the passage from the Gospel of Luke: \"For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be\" (Lk 12:34)?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this analysis, Dr Ivano Sassanelli brings together international scholarship on Gollum, as well as the interpretations of his \"voices\" through movies and recordings over the decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 152\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.33 x 7 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 07, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42266942898311,"sku":"9781915556554","price":28.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/3567a294896ab79188e908d2d45332a3.webp?v=1737140560","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-gospel-of-gollum-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
