Скачать или смотреть Why you NEED to read great literature | JRR Tolkien

JRR Tolkien is one of the most celebrated authors of the past century, and for good reason! But he also was an accomplished essayist and literary critic, and one of his most interesting essays is called "On Fairy Stories" and the insightfulness of its observations far outstrips the modesty of its scope, to encompass the value of storytelling itself. So I am very excited to talk about it with you today.
