Utracona droga i inne pisma

Reading these writings, I wonder how Tolkien's own life and history shaped the stories and themes he explored here. Did his background directly inspire specific myths or characters?

The amount of lore and detail Tolkien packed into these writings is incredible, but I found myself wishing for more background info on some of the stories' origins. How did others navigate the complex layers of mythology?

This collection feels like a window into Tolkien’s creative process beyond The Lord of the Rings. I wonder what motivated the editors or Tolkien himself to bring these writings to light now.
