R. R. Tolkien's work: the frames, edges, allusions, and borders between story and un-story and the spaces between vast ages and miniscule time periods. The untold tales that are simply implied or referenced in the text are essential to Tolkien's achievement in world-building, Peter Grybauskas argues, and counter the common but largely spurious image of Tolkien as a writer of bloated prose. Instead, A Sense of Tales Untold highlights Tolkien's restraint--his ability to check the pen to great effect. The book begins by identifying some of Tolkien's principal sources of inspiration and his contemporaries, then summarizes theories and practices of the literary impression of depth. The following chapters offer close readings of key untold tales in context, ranging from the shadowy legends at the margins of The Lord of the Rings to the nexus of tales concerning Túrin Turambar, the great tragic hero of the Elder Days. In his frequent retellings of the Túrin legend, Tolkien found a lifelong playground for experimentation with untold stories. "A story must be told or there'll be no story, yet it is the untold stories that are most moving," wrote Tolkien to his son during the composition of The Lord of the Rings,cutting straight to the heart of the tension between storytelling and world-building that animates his work. From the most straightforward form of an untold tale--an omission--to vast and tangled webs of allusions, Grybauskas highlights this tension. A Sense of Tales Untold engages with urgent questions about interpretation, adaptation, and authorial control, giving both general readers and specialists alike a fresh look at the source material of the ongoing "Tolkien phenomenon."Sense of Tales UntoldFantasy literature, EnglishFantasy literature, EnglishHistory and criticismFrame-storiesFantasy literature, English.Fantasy literature, EnglishHistory and criticism.Frame-stories.823.91200000000003Grybauskas Peter1672378MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQNZ-WeVULBOOK9910817389803321A Sense of Tales Untold4035671UNINA04007nam 22006615 450 991029940970332120200705172500.0981-10-5140-210.1007/978-981-10-5140-1(CKB)4100000000587066(DE-He213)978-981-10-5140-1(MiAaPQ)EBC5045118(PPN)204531675(EXLCZ)99410000000058706620170912d2018 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierJapanese Advance into the Pacific Ocean The Albatross and the Great Bird Rush /by Akitoshi Hiraoka1st ed. 2018.Singapore :Springer Singapore :Imprint: Springer,2018.1 online resource (XIII, 151 p. 33 illus., 7 illus. in color.)

The birds’ plumage was of high quality and sold at quite a good price in Europe. The Japanese realized the advantage of this global trade, and their desire to capture albatross motivated them to advance into the Pacific. The exploration of the uninhabited islands had become a fast-moving trend, defined by the author as the “Bird Rush”. As a consequence, the advance into the Pacific by the Japanese resulted in the expansion of Japanese territory. The author has interpreted this Japanese movement into the Pacific by making use of the framework of three distinct shifts: in the aim of their actions from birds to guano / phosphate ore, in the agents of action from individual speculators to commercial capital and then to monopolistic capital, and from the sea near Japan to the wider Pacific. This concept can be termed “a view of history centered on the albatross”.International Perspectives in Geography, AJG Library,2197-7798 ;7Physical geographyEconomic geographyJapan—HistoryMines and mineral resourcesWorld Regional Geography (Continents, Countries, Regions)https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J19000Economic Geographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J12000History of Japanhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715020Mineral Resourceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G38010JapanfastSoutheast AsiafastHistory.fastPhysical geography.Economic geography.Japan—History.Mines and mineral resources.World Regional Geography (Continents, Countries, Regions).Economic Geography.History of Japan.Mineral Resources.380.1438Hiraoka Akitoshiauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1063526MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299409703321Japanese Advance into the Pacific Ocean2532889UNINA
