On January 3, 1892, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in Bloemfontein, Orange Free State (now Free State Province in South Africa).

Better known as J. R. R. Tolkien, this writer, philologist and university professor is known worldwide for having written novels today considered classics of modern literature like The Hobbit, or There and Back Again, or his three volume novel The Lord of the Rings.

Strongly influenced by old Northern European literature, poetry and mythology, like the anglo-saxon epic poem of Beowulf or Norse sagas such as the Volsunga, the Hervarar, the Eddas, the Nibelungenlied and more, in his books Tolkien created Middle Earth, a fantasy world full of stories, myths and amazing creatures and characters that continues to fascinate, influence and inspire countless persons all over the world.
