The Last Ringbearer
This book has been translated to English by Кирилл Еськов. More than 15 years ago Russian scientist Kirill Yeskov tried to settle certain geographical problems in Tolkien's fantasy world. One thing led to another, and he tackled a bigger project - what would happen if we assumed that it's no less real than our world? His conclusion was that in such a case, the story of the Ring of Power is most likely a much-altered heroic retelling of a major war - but what was that war really about?

Immersion
I am enjoying the story a lot. My issue is that the English translator (and perhaps the original author) utilizes modern references and slang that shatter the "Middle Earth" feel from time to time. Otherwise, very pleased with this work.
