A Harmonious Echo

While cataloged separately, your reading of Tolkien’s "The War of the Ring" and "The End of the Third Age" – even the latter as a compilation of earlier works – reveals a profound echo, mirroring how you engage with historical narratives. You've intuitively connected these texts not just by their shared universe, but by their shared exploration of the monumental weight of historical forces and the resilience of hope in the face of overwhelming darkness, much like you've found value in understanding the ebb and flow of actual human history.
