新版 指輪物語〈2〉/旅の仲間〈下〉

The shift in setting added a new dimension to the story, but I wonder what inspired him to focus on this direction and its significance.

The detailed descriptions and travel scenes felt different from the action-packed beginning. Was this deliberate to build tension or develop characters?

Their bonds feel so genuine and impactful. I’m curious whether Tolkien based these on his own experiences or created them from scratch.
