"Lord of the Ring" in Latin
At least three people reading this blog like Latin. So here is a special treat.
Cum Magister Bilbo Baggins qui vivebat Perae Extremae nuntiavit eum centesimum et undecimum diem sui natalis breviter cum convivio magnificentiae egregiae celebraturum esse, erat multa fama et commotio in Hobbitone.
Unfortunately the fanatic who is doing this has only gotten through the first page of the first chapter of the first book, but after all, it is a tale that grew in the telling anyway.
makes me nostalgic for my old copy of Winnie ille Pu.

One of my Latin teachers said that she couldn't imagine how anyone would translate TLoTR because, as a student of language, Tolkein knew exactly what sounds to use to evoke a certain feeling. Nazgul, Sauron, Saruman, Aragorn, the names of the elves, etc.
I wish the guy luck all the same.
He will need it. Talk about Quixotic.
