The Atlas of Middle-earth
The Atlas of Middle-earth | Karen Wynn Fonstad
12 posts | 16 read | 11 to read
Karen Wynn Fonstad's THE ATLAS OF MIDDLE-EARTH is an essential volume that will enchant all Tolkien fans. Here is the definitive guide to the geography of Middle-earth, from its founding in the Elder Days through the Third Age, including the journeys of Bilbo, Frodo, and the Fellowship of the Ring. Authentic and updated -- nearly one third of the maps are new, and the text is fully revised -- the atlas illuminates the enchanted world created in THE SILMARILLION, THE HOBBIT, and THE LORD OF THE RINGS. Hundreds of two-color maps and diagrams survey the journeys of the principal characters day by day -- including all the battles and key locations of the First, Second, and Third Ages. Plans and descriptions of castles, buildings, and distinctive landforms are given, along with thematic maps describing the climate, vegetation, languages, and population distribution of Middle-earth throughout its history. An extensive appendix and an index help readers correlate the maps with Tolkien's novels.

Not really book related but I took a picture yesterday of some trees that look like they belong in Middle Earth. Thought I‘d share. #middleearth

I personally found the writing in this to be a little dry, but that‘s understandable given the fact that it‘s not a novel, but an atlas. It‘s definitely an excellent reference for fans of Lord of The Rings, and it was interesting seeing the details of the hobbits journey through all of Middle-Earth. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

GypsyKat @kylienoele You would get a kick out of this one. 😊 5y

The chapter “Of Beleriand and its Realms” of the Quenta Silmarillion in The Lost Road and Other Writings seems an appropriate time to get back out my Atlas of Middle-Earth. I‘ll admit I don‘t analyze the geographic descriptions much, but the map does make it a bit clearer.

wordslinger42 I love the bookmark 🐉 I'm planning on getting caught up this weekend (finally!) 6y
JazzFeathers Uff! Now l want to take out my map of Beleriand too!!!! 6y
Daisey @JazzFeathers You get all the credit for me actually taking the time to stop reading and find the Atlas! It‘s also worth the time. 6y
Trollkonstnaren The atlas and like this always stops for a moment to respect the passion the author has (or in this case 'had'). 6y

A few books to supplement my #lotrchapteraday reading! Hopefully I'll enjoy them and I can add two more to my shelves later.

A map of Frodo and Sam's journey - Don't look too close if you are reading for the first time!

I don't think I can get the map of the paths of everyone in the Fellowship in a decent photo. I would be curious for someone who has another book of maps to let me know their opinions for comparison. I've looked at a few others but not decided to buy any of them yet.

I'm checking my Atlas of Middle-Earth again as I read to see where Frodo & Sam have traveled through the last few chapters with Gollum and now that they've met Faramir. It's also interesting to see how far in completely different directions the rest of the fellowship has traveled.

MinDea Ooohh, that sounds like such a nice layer to the story! Post pics of the fellowship's journey so we can all see them too! 7y

I'm back at my house after a long summer visit with my sister, so I dug out my mind Middle-Earth Atlas to go along with my #LotRChapteraDay reading. This page includes a description and map of the Lonely Mountain as we read about the dwarves fortifying the Front Gate.

A path through Middle Earth, off of Oakenshield Drive. Around the bend, one of our lakes. Back the other way, patches of field. And woods everywhere 😊👍🏻. Crisp clean mountain air, and half-way down this slope is cold, fresh creek water. *inhales & exhales deeply* A nice pine scent in the air. Taking advantage of this rare 50 degree winter day. Can stretch. Good audiobook too 😎👌🏻. #24in48
