Tolkien himself said that he is not a \"type\" but a creature who, in given circumstances, behaves in certain ways. Gollum is like each of us: in a constant struggle between different, sometimes conflicting, ways of reasoning; with the same confusing thoughts that put us in crisis. It is precisely in this internal diatribe that the Pity and Mercy of many characters, such as Eru, Bilbo, Frodo, Sam and Faramir, find their way through the pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn The Gospel of Gollum, we ask ourselves: could Tolkien have constructed the character of Gollum as a possible exemplification or personification of the passage from the Gospel of Luke: \"For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be\" (Lk 12:34)?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this analysis, Dr Ivano Sassanelli brings together international scholarship on Gollum, as well as the interpretations of his \"voices\" through movies and recordings over the decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ivano Sassanelli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Luna Press Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.3lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 5.00w x 0.33d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781915556554","brand":"Luna Press Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43244160483465,"sku":"9781915556554","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_a6f2373f-eea9-4209-9f3a-04d5c95838b0.jpg?v=1735640530","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-gospel-of-gollum-9781915556554","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
