Overview

For the lovers of J. R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth, here is a new translation of an ancient poem, "The Wanderer." It is well-known that Tolkien's stories were greatly inspired by the myths and tales of Old English literature, and this poem in particular reveals these influences on some of his most beloved characters from The Lord of the Rings. The translator has kept these influences in mind while rendering this moving poem in a fresh way, choosing words and concepts from Tolkien's works that allow the nuances of the original text to come through more clearly than modern English can accomplish. Let this tragic yet hopeful tale fill your imagination with the wonder and beauty of the world that inspired Tolkien's literary genius.
