Abstract:Sestavek se posveča prepoznavanju mitoloških vplivov v treh osrednjih fantazijskih pripovedih J. R. R. Tolkiena, enega bolj prepoznavnih avtorjev in osnovalcev sodobnega fantazijskega literarnega žanra. V središču pozornosti je mladinska fantazijska pripoved Hobit, iskanje njenih korenin v nam znanem primarnem svetu in povezav z mitološkim, ki mnogokrat ni angleškega porekla. Vključuje se v razlago subtilno vgraviranih krščanskih idej, ki so se med drugim pojavljale v književnosti, še posebej v času velike stiske in notranjega boja predvojnega človeka na področju takratne angleške monarhije. Mnoga strokovna pretresanja, da Tolkienovo slikanje Srednjega sveta verjetno pomeni le prikaz umazane, industrializirane in razočaranj polne realnosti, ne morejo biti povsem kredibilna, sploh pa ne edina. Kaj kmalu namreč ugotovimo, da ne glede na številne vire, s pomočjo katerih avtor napaja mitologijo samozadostnega Srednjega sveta, le-ta kljub svoji navidezni kompleksnosti izžareva preprostost ter tako morda spominja na vzpone in padce v razvoju človeštva od prvih začetkov pa do večnosti in ne le do pojavitve druge svetovne vojne. Tolkienova mitologija fantazijskega sveta ni občudovanja vredna le v smislu avtorjeve inovativnosti, pač pa seže mnogo dlje, in sicer v posredovanje višjih vrednot, ki so koristne za obstoj tako primarnega sveta, torej človeštva nasploh, kot tudi sekundarne dimenzije in njenih prebivalcev.

Title:Mytology in Tolkien's The Hobbit
Abstract:The paper focuses on identifying the effects of mythology in the three main fantasy novels by J. R. R. Tolkien, one of the more visible authors and pioneers in the field of modern fantasy. The focus is on youth fantasy, namely The Hobbit, searching for its roots in our primary world and finding links to the mythology, which is often not of English origin. Furthermore, it looks into the elucidation of ingrained Christian ideas, which among others also appear in English literature, particularly in times of the great national distress which was caused by the pre-war and anti-human beliefs of the era. Many experts commented that Tolkien's Middle-Earth probably represented the image of a dirty, industrialized and discouraging reality, which in this respect cannot be entirely credible and certainly not the only option to choose from. It soon became evident that many sources were used for the creation of the new mythology. However, the apparent complexity also hides some simplicity, presenting the ups and downs of mankind's gradual steps from the beginning all the way to eternity, and certainly not only to the time of the Second World War. Tolkien's mythology of the fantasy world is not only impressive in terms of its innovation, but reaches out much further than that, sharing higher values which come in useful for the existence of both, the primary world, e.g. humanity in general, as well as the secondary, surreal dimension and its inhabitants.
