The libraries of the City of Aubange are pleased to participate again this year in the new edition of From Book to Screen organized by the Province of Luxembourg.
From January 25 to March 15, 2025, the Athus Library invites you to an extraordinary journey to Middle-earth with the exhibition "Tolkien: Journey to Middle-earth."
Dive into the universe of J.R.R. Tolkien
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien is recognized as the father of modern fantasy. His iconic works, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, have not only captivated generations of readers but have also redefined the fantasy genre. By creating a rich and detailed universe, populated by various races such as Elves, Dwarves, and Hobbits, Tolkien laid the foundations of a world that continues to inspire writers and filmmakers worldwide. Tolkien drew upon his knowledge of philology and his passions for Germanic, Celtic, and Scandinavian legends to build a unique mythology. His ability to weave epic tales with universal themes such as friendship, sacrifice, and the battle between good and evil allowed his stories to transcend eras. His work is also marked by meticulous attention to linguistic details, creating languages and alphabets that add unparalleled depth to his universe.
From Book to Screen
The exhibition will also highlight the cinematographic adaptations made by Peter Jackson, which played a crucial role in popularizing Tolkien's works to a global audience:
- The Lord of the Rings trilogy, released between 2001 and 2003, a grandiose epic that marked the history of cinema;
- The Hobbit trilogy, which immerses us in the adventures of Bilbo Baggins.
The exhibition will transport you to a fantasy world where imagination knows no bounds. Don't miss this unique opportunity to travel to Middle-earth from January 25 to March 15, 2025, at the Athus Library.
